A bit overlong really so, at times, the plot became laboured but great cinematography. None of the later seasons were as good as the first where the direction was tight and the story more plausible. The last season was just an action romp. For example, the narrative about the incursion into North Korea, without any backup or resource,s was bordering on the ridiculous. I still gave it 4 stars for the fun element though and for the travelogue.

The best ever portrayal of section 20 ops ever. Chris Ryan at his very very best. I absolutely love it. Can't get enough of it...
