Hot scene from Strike Back (s2e9)
Strike Back is a guilty pleasure for me. I shouldn’t like it based on my usual preferences. Oh, sure, the action sequences are pretty great for a TV show, but just about every scene involves the team escaping unscathed from a completely impossible situation, often through some cheesy deus ex machina. Every season’s story line is exactly the same as every previous season’s, except in a different location, with a different master villain, a different insider betraying them, and a slightly different crisis. I think they just write their scripts like “mad libs.”
And yet, predictable as it is, I watch it faithfully season after season, and I’ll probably be tuning in for season eight next year.
That was sort of the formula for Banshee, a show I really miss.
