The Unit Review Summary
Viewers of The Unit are agreeing "these are the only men I would want doing the dirty work." A show about an elite group of soldiers led into covert battle each week, facing "not only the challenges of each mission, but homelife struggles as well, this CBS show is "well-acted with believable characters." Even female fans that claim they aren't normally into "the military type shows and movies" enjoy The Unit because of the combination of romance, drama, and action. Besides, they "just love a man, or men, in uniform." The Unit has struggled to keep its audience, as it never produced new episodes after the Writer's Strike, but now it seems back, planted on Sunday, with two great lead-ins of The Amazing Race and Cold Case. With viewers finding The Unit once again, they're in agreement more than ever that these are "the guys you want fighting for you."

In his role as Jonas Blane, Dennis Haysbert leads an elite group of soldiers into covert battle each week. His men, Bob Brown (Scott Foley), Mack Gerhardt (Max Martini), Charles Grey (Michael Irby), and the recently departed Hector Williams (Demore Barnes) face not only the challenges of each mission, but homelife struggles as well. With a strong supporting cast that includes Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgement Day) and Regina Taylor (Courage Under Fire), this show is well acted with belevable characters.
The characters are not created to be "supermen," but rather extraordinary soldiers who...

I enjoy shows like The Unit because of the story line, the content, and the showcasing of the different characters. But what has happened to it? Besides being MIA, the direction of the show has taken a downward spiral in this last season.
In the past, the fantastical story lines were written and acted in such a way I felt them to be close to believable. Something has happened in the directing and the writing of the show. I now wonder how the scripting will be post writer's strike.
I am still waiting with bated breath and fingers crossed.
Will they bring back the opening theme? The military...

I really look forward to Sunday nights although I let the DVR get a head start on me because of other programming. I have worked in Defense related activities all of my working life but have never been exposed to anything similar to The Unit. It certainly gives one a view of our military that we would not have been able to see anywhere else. It is one of my favorite shows. I give it a "10."
After watching the first couple of episodes I bought and read the book the show depicts.
The book "Delta Force" was written by a man that was in the initial forming of the Unit
and the show depicts many of the "tricks of the trade" as it were.
This show is full of action and shows some troubled family life of the members of the unit.
One of the best shows on TV, The Unit has it all....suspense, drama, great characters and patriotism! The plots are interesting and the characters believable and likeable. It is facinating to see how they solve what appear to be overwhelming problems and their dedication to our country is great for the younger generation to see and emulate!
The Unit is one of the best shows currently on television. It is unfathomable that CBS considered cancelling the show following last season not to mention moving the show to Sunday nights. Check it out you will not be disappointed.
