The Unit — "Games of Chance" — 2/20/2007
I've started DVR'ing The Unit for the past couple of months and I've really enjoyed it. Had I known Mamet was involved in this, I would've started watching from Day 1. Is anyone else watching this?

I've been watching, some good episodes, great guest stars too. William H. Macy as the prez, Summer Glau (Firefly/Serenity chick), Ed O'Neil (Married With Children), Behrooz on the loose (for all you 24 fans) and even Chozen from Karate Kid II makes an appearance.

This is one of my favorite shows out there. It's supremely well done and feels like a 1-hour movie. Most people didn't like the 50/50 split between the team & the wives at home, and I think they've dialed back on that to a much more tolerable degree. It's a superb show and I hope it sticks around.

Another great episode tonight. I don't watch much TV: Lost, 24, Gilmore Girls (if my gf is watching) and this. This show never disappoints and has a nice realism to it that could benefit 24.

i watched this show in season 1 and it was really entertaining, i bought the dvd and it was even better the second time. i caught the first few episodes of season 2 and thought they were great, but have missed quite a few and will wait to pick up the s2 dvd release in september.

Very good episode overall, I thought. Nice twist on the usual field assignment and the wife part was not overdone and actually interesting. I doubt Bob would be pleased that his wife was off on a private jet to the mansion of an old boyfriend, and I would've liked for him to find out.

I thought this was a fantastic episode, and there was more suspense and thrills in it's hour than most of the so-called "thrillers" I've seen on the big screen in a long time.

Since this seems to be the last thread started about The Unit, I just wanted to say that tonights episode (04/10/07) was an excellent episode.
It was the one where young teens (mostly girls I think) were taken hostage at their school by numerous gunman. They show in detail the preparation that The Unit has to take in order to make a successful rescue.
And finally there was a good backstory with the whiney wives and one of the daughters,
But the last 4 episodes or so have been very good!

In the history of the show the only episode I haven't liked a lot was the one a week or two ago with Hector in the jungle getting initiated by that tribe. Tonight rocked though.
I don't understand why this show doesn't get more attention here. It's is so much better than 24 these days. The action scenes are always worth seeing.
