Last night gave us the first showing of Bravo's new action show, 'The Unit', once again starring ActionClub favourite and '24' ex-president, Dennis Haysbert and also Terminator 2: Judgement Day star, Robert Patrick. In my opinion, a little too much plot, and too little action (I suppose there had to be some scene setting, it was the first episode), this show centres around a US Army special forces team based on Delta Force (or to give the unit its correct title, 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) and their wives, and is based on show producer Eric Haney's book, Inside Delta Force.
Dennis Haysbert plays Sergeant-Major Jonas Blane, with Patrick as his senior officer and unit commander Colonel Tom Ryan. Owing a lot to the success of 24, The Unit looks to be a promising dramatic action-adventure series. The first episode, as mentioned above was lacking explosions and only had two gunfights, nevertheless, it is an admirable start to what we can only hope to be an action packed new series. Fans of 24 or Tom Clancy will enjoy this as much as I did.
Check out the official US CBS 'The Unit' minisite or the UK Bravo minisite. The Unit is on Bravo at 10.00pm on Tuesday nights.
