303rd continues to rock on October 3, 2007

The second season of The Unit continues to impress while unfortunately suffering from many of the same flaws that hurt the first season. Overall, the acting is better than the writing. Dialogue isn't so much a problem as consistent plotting; the interactions of the wives back home continues to be a weak aspect of the show, as it is essentially a "desperate housewives-lite." Some might say that this aspect of military life is as significant as the combat in the field, and they'd be undoubtedly correct. However, in the show, it comes across as a poor attempt to lure in a female viewing base.
The second major issue for the show is that California doubles for every foreign location in the show, and doesn't do a very good job of it. In fact, the re-use of the same exterior's is even more visible in this season. It never fully ruins the show, but does serve as a constant reminder of the show's budget limitations.
Still, the show is highly entertaining, and with more gun battles, more interesting episode premises, and actors that have completely inhabited their roles. Overall, a great show that stays great.

So glad CBS is releasing season two before the third season starts. I got my friend hooked on this show and she really wanted to see season two. The Unit is still going strong and can't wait for the third season. The actors aren't bad too look at either. Fast enjoyable hour. Enjoy
One of the best tv series June 26, 2007

This is the best special forces series i have seen and the second season is even better than the first one.

I was so impressed with the first season that I had to get the second season on DVD as well. Even better without the commercial interruptions.
Anyone that wants good action and drama in a TV series this would be a good one to follow. Season 3 just started on air and it's been incredable so far just after the first episode! We have another winner!
=D

I'm looking forward to the set, but with major caveats; there were some eye-rollingly bad aspects of Season 2. Grey's fling with the Israeli intelligence babe was utterly moronic; several times during the episode, the local terrorist thugs who have occupied the same space as Grey and his gal are seen bending over praying, or fast asleep. Wouldn't a stone cold killer like Grey waste all these guys with one clip from his pistol? He'd just as likely kill them all by hand, easily, right? Or the "coin switch" episode; EXACTLY the same plot device re: Molly getting burned by the real estate fraud last season. And, speaking of which, since these ARE the most hard-wired, intel-gathering, resourceful soldiers on the planet, you don't think they could manage to track down and take down a few small-time grifters?
On the other hand...some of the best episodes in the series were found this Season, including the defense of the firebase, with the attendant command dramas and spectacular firefights. Sensitive, nuanced portrayal of the "enemy" cleric as well.
I DVR'd them all, but if there are some worthwhile special features, well, who knows?
