    Fridays on Skinemax. It's a pretty good show. It's what 'The Unit' may have looked like on cable. It is just 3 episodes into a 10 episode season.

    The original series was on SKY1 and as usual U.S. tv dumbs it down(see Hustle:AMC), but it is still worth checking out.

    BTW, the guy behind the series is Chris Ryan, a former SAS operator and a pretty good author in his own right. I've read 5 of his novels so far. He also has a book that details his escape during the 1st Gulf War.

    Anyway, it's a show/series worth checking out.

    Yo tambien.

    Pretty good show for an overall lackluster summer for tv. Apparently its made in and by South Africa. Which seems to mean, so far at least, that we (a) get the occasional naked chick and (b) escape some of the now mandatory Hollywood conventions -- such as the requirement that at least one of the major characters be gay. (as George Constanza said, "not that there's anything wrong with that").
