Season 4, Episode 10
9/10
Fantastic season finale closes out a thrilling season
19 October 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This season of Strike Back has been one hell of a ride, and the season finale ties a bow on "Shadow Warfare" with a resounding bang. There's something inherently thrilling about seeing this show at the top of its game, delivering week after week of brilliantly choreographed and directed fight scenes, as well as more complex character work and chemistry than a show like this has any right of having. Yet, we saw it unfold this year, and it'll be a long wait for next season.

The season does a great job with Leo Kamali's character, making him out to be a tragic figure that's also a villain. He's not inherently evil, but he's justifying his actions to his daughter and believes himself to be right. He's someone who's driven by a deeper human nature than Knox, and he's fantastic to watch.

In addition, the action is top notch; the budget of this show is significantly less than those of films, but it looks like film, that's for sure. For example, the final runway sequence is thrilling and entertaining to watch. While the end is a bit too pat, it's a near-perfect finish to a fantastic third (or fourth) season.

Also, Scott and Stonebridge are awesome.
