I love this show, even though I find it pretty one-sided the way they approach most subjects with some rare exceptions, but I guess the tactical, cqb, and some of the subplots are more than enough to compensate for that. I was missing some real military action ever since Strike Back ended(on season 5, those other seasons are not even worth the calories my brain spends thinking about). it's not as good as Strike back, but it serves.
but honestly, the show is kinda bad. Clichê and stereotyped as hell.


Someone should tell Clay that he should forget TBI and focus on cirrhosis. The only people I knew that drank as much as these guys drink in the show are entirely wasted drunk people at small bars and homeless people. Also, drinking while on the job... It amazes me how they say this is the best squad. If that were real life, they would most likely be discharged for operating drunk. Or not and that's the reason the US military kills so many innocent people in those "ops" as reported by many war journalists and leakers.

The show is kinda inconsistent as well. Like regarding vet health care issues. For someone that saw up close what denial and dismissiveness can do to a person in those conditions [spoiler]Clay[/spoiler] quickly forgot that that is actually a thing and said or did nothing when he saw everyone acting the same way up close. The only moment where they kinda hint that he is more "aware of that" is when he saves [spoiler]Jason[/spoiler] from an explosion and right after that keeps asking him for TBI symptoms, but aside from that, he basically ignores every situation where a teammate hides real and serious injuries, even the same ones related to TBI.

It's like they create the storyline, and character traits, but are pretty lazy to keep track, remember, and keep writing consistent with those traits a couple of episodes later.

Not to mention the whole plot where [spoiler]Jay[/spoiler] questions his [spoiler]religious[/spoiler] beliefs, and the resolution for that plot is exactly as ridiculous as the way it started. Right when I thought the show would try to go for a more interesting subplot... then boom... Right back at the status quo as if nothing had happened for practically no reason at all. That whole thing with the woman in the desert is a complete joke. It would be soo much more interesting if they had committed to the change, making him realize that he didn't need [spoiler]religious belief, or the be a religious person[/spoiler] to be a better person, and a good teammate, instead of blaming his bad habits, and [spoiler] desire to cheat[/spoiler] on that. Really... I almost stopped watching the show right there. That's at the same time, the best(due to its beginning) and the worst(for its resolution) subplots the show had so far.

Also, I just finished season 3 so I don't if this is kept the same way for the rest of the series, but I'm gonna go on a limb and say it anyway... for god sake, give real lines to the rest of the squadron, especially Brock. If you count the number of words Trent and Brock combined said the whole series so far, it will most likely not pass the lines for Clay on the first episode, where he is in just for a few minutes. They have 6 characters on the team but keep recycling plots between 4 of them. I guess they ran out of ideas pretty quickly. The worst part is that they joke about this in the show as if it made it better just because they are conscious of it. at least give them some personality.
