A new UK tv series has used US forces as their dangling carrot to encourage Sky1, the sister network of Fox, to produce another series. Strike Back series I which aired the past 3wks, 2 hour-long episodes each week. The Brits are very proud of it, and with good reason - it's face paced, action packed, well written, entertaining storyline. The hero, John Porter, is ex-SAS who was forced to resign 7yrs previous when two of his men were killed while extracting a hostage in Iraq. He's haunted by the deaths - believes he was responsible.

A female British journalist is taken hostage in Iraq and Porter volunteers to get her out. He feels it will exonerate him for the other deaths. Very exciting - perhaps a US outlet will pick it up. It's a 6hour series and reviews have been positive. In the final episode, last scene Porter is being hunted by the US military(complicated reason). Samples...

First two episodes focus on Chris Ryan’s bestselling novel ‘Strike Back.’
