Season 4 opens with a Section 20 operation in the Bakka Valley going badly resulting in Baxter's death. Stonebridge and Scott are enjoying a well-deserved vacation. Recalled to duty, they team up with Kim Martinez to track and capture the killer in Colombia.
It's a shame that Strike Back is leaving us with when it still feels capable of shouldering a few more world-ending crises, but it's going into its ending with gas in the tank and its clips fully loaded.
Those violent altercations, fun action sequences, and general sense of adventure are why people tune in to Strike Back and the show doesn't need to be more than that.
Damien Scott and Michael "Mikey" Stonebridge are action heroes to the max-the Cinemax, more specifically, mascots of mayhem for HBO's pulp companion network.
Scenes of quiet only serve to bridge action sequences. Our heroes move from one shoot-up to the next. The biggest item in the show's budget has to be for squibs.
Perhaps the most appealing thing about Strike Back, at least on a subliminal level, is its utter lack of moral equivalence. Good is good and bad is bad and nobody's going to force you to feel guilty about any gray areas.
I have very much enjoyed this show, which has always exuded an intelligence that made it both enjoyably substantial and emotionally engaging. But all good things must come to an end.
