The Unit
‘The Unit‘ is a cool new show on CBS and Global.
It’s based on a book called “Inside Delta Force” by Eric Haney.
The Variety review calls it ‘A manly show about super-secret Special Forces officers and the women who love them’.
It’s got stalwart, upright, patriotic secret soldiers and it’s got stalwart, upright, patriotic woman and wives, keeping their husbands’ secrets for the good of the nation, but still having to deal with PTA, kids’ karate classes and Tupperware parties. On both fronts, it’s got adventure and subterfuge, misinformation and misdirection. It’s dark and moody and interesting and fun.
It’s also got Dennis Haysbert who was the President on ‘24′ the first season or two.
Last night’s episode had a character being beeped at by a jeep driver to hurry up, and as he got into the jeep he asked ‘Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?’
I laughed like it was an episode of ‘Arrested Development’.
(They also had an acronym that was used a few times and finally explained. ‘BOHICA.’ LOLing and ROFLMAOing all over the place.)
