Strikeback is about an SAS soldier (Armitage) who fought during the Iraq war, and what happens when he gets home as he tries to adjust to civilian life and to rationalise and get revenge for something that happened while he was out there; there's also an MI6 officer (Lincoln) who's involved in these events, though the focus is more on Armitage's character plotwise. I won't spoil it by explaining how you get from action to civilian to more action, but it's gripping and exciting. I haven't seen episodes 2 and 3 yet but I'm looking forward to it. It aired on Sky 1 this year, but is now available on DVD.

What is the basic plot of this show? I can't say I've heard mention of it before.
