This is a really overacted stereotypical drama than honestly is so bad its embarrassing for the viewer. The characters are just so unbelievable and the dialogue is cheesy and lame.As one previous reviewer said its like desperate housewives meets homeland, which is quite accurate yet probably an insult to those two shows.Nothing original in the story line, characters that are completely unlikeable and a script like a that from a school play.I was enticed to watch by the high ratings this achieved (8.1/10). I am really surprised at this score given that Homeland only scores 8.5 and is such a brilliant show compared to this drivel.

At first the movie leaves a very good impression for something that is done very realistic.But imagine now that you are an US citizen, and you see that in one of the episodes, there are persons claiming to be Americans speaking in English, but they are speaking in Spanish.I felt rather disappointed, when in one of the episodes, there were actors claiming to be in Bulgarian prison, but speaking on Serbian instead of Bulgarian.In US everything is a big show, and this one is a lie. After that my impression for the movie was spoiled because in every episode for an action in different country I was wondering how many lies I will see.

this is a rare TV show that doesn't come around often many action shows get green lite for a pilot episode than doesn't do well i can only name a handful that are successful like Chuck Noris's (Walker Texas Ranger),JJ Abrams's (Alias),Jerry Bruckhiemer's (csi),and Fox's (24).in 1993 it was walker Texas ranger, in 2000 it was csi,and alias, in 2001 there was 24 it is 2010 and the only;y show still airing that i named is csi all the others have ended or been canceled but i did not mention the unit because until 2 months ago i had never heard of it and i have been watching 24 on fox for years and for some reason i had no memory of seeing any commercials for the unit.so 2 months ago i was shopping in walmart and noticed TV dvds on sale the unit season 1 and 2 was in a double pack for $30 and lost was $22 per season so in the interest of saving money i was getting lost season 1 but then something in my head said get lost later on bluray and buy the unit now so i did when i got home and started watching it i was hooked in the first 5 minutes the action was phenomenal the suspense was refreshing and something TV has been lacking for a long time so in a week i finished both seasons and thought to my self wow can't wait till the fall for the new season so i looked on the internet for the fall season TV schedule and noticed that there was no unit in any of the time slots so i when to the fox web site and found that the unit had been canceled only after 4 seasons i was shocked i thought this show was something special and at least should have been on the air for 4 or 5 more seasons but i guess 4 seasons on DVD will have to do so if you haven seen a episode or maybe missed some i would highly recommend buy all 4 seasons of the unit you won't be2 disappointed so all in all i give it 10 out of 10

This entire series is outstanding. I am kicking myself for not paying closer attention to it when it was on broadcast television. Bought all 4 seasons on DVD and have been watching them in order. Stays truthful to Haney's book and his input and influence on the episodes is obvious. When CBS put Season 4 on Sundays at 10:PM, it was the deathnell for the series. During Football season, because of late game over-runs the entire Sunday night CBS prime time lineup often starts late, and, at unpredictable times in the east and central time zones. Almost impossible to build or maintain an audience when you never know what time the show will begin. Check the fate of any drama that CBS puts in that time slot (during the fall. Basically a great series got screwed! Too bad Shawn Ryan couldn't get FX to pick it up. This show is right up there with 24 and in many respects, even better. There is enough on-going connective story to keep die hard fans moving from episode to episode, and, for the occasional viewer each episode is a stand alone story. Something 24 does not have. If you've never seen The Unit, or like me, was just a casual viewer, get season 1 episode one and start watching. You'll be glad you did
