This is Skinamaxes…I mean Cinemaxes first foray into an original scripted ongoing series meant to propel them into a network that offers more than movies that were just on HBO or their soft-core late night offerings. This is a high quality show that places Cinemax much closer to its big brother (HBO) and in a better position to compete against those other premium channels (Showtime & Starz).
Strike Back is a compelling show…Think 24 meets Zane’s Sex Chronicles. It focuses on two members of a classified intelligence agency known as Section 20 who span the globe in search of…get ready…terrorists planning a major attack. You have the same plot twists and turns and government conspiracies that you would expect from Special Forces drama with a small wink wink nudge nudge that pays homage to 24.
Strike Back airs Friday’s @ 10:00 pm on Cinemax…catch up on all episodes with max GO or max On-Demand
Great writing about the show!!
