Fantastic season finale closes out a thrilling season
whifferrack19 October 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This season of Strike Back has been one hell of a ride, and the season finale ties a bow on "Shadow Warfare" with a resounding bang. There's something inherently thrilling about seeing this show at the top of its game, delivering week after week of brilliantly choreographed and directed fight scenes, as well as more complex character work and chemistry than a show like this has any right of having. Yet, we saw it unfold this year, and it'll be a long wait for next season.

The season does a great job with Leo Kamali's character, making him out to be a tragic figure that's also a villain. He's not inherently evil, but he's justifying his actions to his daughter and believes himself to be right. He's someone who's driven by a deeper human nature than Knox, and he's fantastic to watch.

In addition, the action is top notch; the budget of this show is significantly less than those of films, but it looks like film, that's for sure. For example, the final runway sequence is thrilling and entertaining to watch. While the end is a bit too pat, it's a near-perfect finish to a fantastic third (or fourth) season.

Also, Scott and Stonebridge are awesome.

Fantastic finale
dxace119 October 2013
This show just kills....great action and humor as well. What is the music at the very end of it? Doesn't show up on any song finder app......The dynamic between these two is just great -- I often wonder why we have not seen them show up in late night talk shows here in the U.S. It may be hard to follow the prequel as it looks to be pretty complex but certainly look forward to it. Also -- it is interesting that they have shifted from South Africa shooting locations to Europe, Hungary in particular. Also -- it's great to see the interplay between these two at the end of the shows...really brings home how comfortable they are with each other and in the show.

They run in and out of the crib (in Berlin, assumably) to Ramstein AFB as if they were 20 miles apart, while they are 200 mi apart. Also, Kamali's daughter is supposed to be in Switzerland - and all of a sudden she goes to school in Berlin, ah?
