The Unit - Season 3 US

Season 3 of the unit started last night in the US.

Season 2 was superb so I am really looking forward to seeing this new season. Also Dennis Haysbert - The Snake Doctor plays an excellent role.

Spoiler for end of season 2: Season 2 was left with The Unit being investigated.

Re: The Unit - Season 3 US

And what a great start to season 3 it was. A good tense show and some nice little twists in it too. This show just gets better and better.

Re: The Unit - Season 3 US

Absolutely Superb. Excellent opening 10/10

I actually preferred this episode to the Heroes opener and this weeks Prison Break. What a brilliant show.

I liked Jonas's new hair cut. He reminded me a bit of Denzil Washington.

I think Bravo had it first in the UK (could be wrong)...I'd guess 9 -12 months.

Also looks like he's been working out a touch too as he had his shirt off for most of the show. Poser

As you say, this opener was far superior to Prison Break & Heroes, it actually grabbed you and your interest didn't wane all show.

Just as good was the openers to Reaper & Chuck

I havent seen or heard of Reaper & Chuck, off to hunt them down....

The thing I like about this show is that it is believable unlike Prison Break which goes round in circles all the time (season 2 was a joke, season 3 is looking like much of the same).

Spoiler: I was shocked to see the top mans missus was the one leaking info on the Unit. She has always been a madame, just not this bad. I hope the black guy out of the unit (forgot his name) doesnt spill the beans. I hope the message he was passed by Jonus's wife was a code for him to act in that way.

Re: The Unit - Season 3 US

I really am enjoying the Unit. So far it has been my favourite returning show.

This weeks episode was top notch.

Re: The Unit - Season 3 US

This show does seem to be getting better and better with each series. Only thing I dont like about series 3 is the new theme song. The remix to that marine track they use to use was a lot better.

Re: The Unit - Season 3 US

The opening credits and music are rubbish now hopefully, if they run a 4th series, they'll eject them. I like the way they quickly moved away from the storyline which ended the last series, I had a feeling we might have been heading into A-Team territory.

Class. I never thought of it like that.


Not a bad episode this week, but not as good as the previous ones this season. More of a filler.

Re: The Unit - Season 3 US

Shocking stuff -

Spoiler: I cant believe Hector is now dead. He has even been taken out of the intro at the beginning of the show.

The last two episodes have been great 9.5/10

I wondered when someone was gonna mention the past 2 episodes as this thread had gone really quiet. This weeks episode was excellently done and I wonder where they go from here?

I forgot to post in here last week.

I hope they get a new guy to fill the spot. I think it will be done in time, just not right now.

The Unit some times reminds me of a mini film, more than a show.

Re: The Unit - Season 3 US

I believe that the producers wanted to show that..... death is something inevitable for a military series that deals with heroism just like The Unit.

As for the actor...From Buddy TV:...

As for Barnes, there is no confirmation yet on what he'll be doing after The Unit. Nevertheless, he reveals in an interview with OK! Magazine that he'll be spending his downtime working with Wing Haven, a refuge for battered women and children, but also wants to leap into the big screen.

“I hope I have a career that is raw, and impacting and all-encompassing in the many areas and facets of the industry. I want to do it all. I want to be one of the forces to be reckoned with, one of these days,” the Unit actor said

Re: The Unit - Season 3 US

Bit off topic as not S3 but...

As my Sky box has decided to give up reading my viewing card for the last week I've finally got round to watching my S1 boxset of The Unit I bought from the classifieds here (cheers smurfin ).

Can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to get through S1 and on to S2 and S3

Best TV I've watched for ages, mucher better than Heroes imo

It deserves better coverage e.g. on Sky one or C4 even.

Anyway, just my tuppence worth

Re: The Unit - Season 3 US

Im also loving this show more and more, but theres a good chance the writers strike is going to or is already affecting the show.
However,
Ive seen it being listed as being on again on the 18th

That will probably be the last for the year.
