What critics say about Strike Back

The Wall Street Journal’s Nancy deWolf Smith gave the show a rating of 8/10. Here’s what she said about it:

“The plot–absurd as it is that a handful of people would be alone and in charge of saving the world, or in an encounter between organizations named Section 20 and Office 39–has enough twists and momentum to keep you eager to know what happens next. What’s also cool, and helps further elevate Strike Back in its genre, is the artistic attention to detail.”

According to Canuck71 on Metacritic, Strike Back is a must-watch show with a rating of 10/10.

“It’s unapologetic, balls-out and just fun… Both leads work well together and the supporting cast fit perfectly. This show can’t help but be great. The writing is smooth and seamless.”

David Hinckley from New York Daily News had this to say. He also rated the show 8/10.

“Lots of location shots give Strike Back an unusually acute sense of realism, and the show wisely spends more time with the boys in the field than with the command unit back home.”
