The second season of “The Unit” continued the break neck pace that has made this series so popular among viewers. Focusing on one team of U.S. Army Special Forces Unit who end up fighting terrorism on covert missions, the show has a top notch cast and well written/directed scripts that keep the show involving. The show also focuses on the toll the Unit’s secret work has on their families and friends. The cast includes Dennis Haysbert, Robert Patrick, Regina Taylor, Scott Foley. ---

Image & Sound:

A very nice transfer from Fox with bright colors and no dirt or grit (not a surprise given that this is a new show) is a highlight of the set. Audio sounds terrific as well with a strong 5.1 audio track that works very well particularly during action sequences.

We get eight commentary tracks featuring cast member Dennis Haysbert, writer-producer Scott Foley, director Bill L. Norton and others. All of them are pretty interesting. ***

“Paradise Lost: The Making of the Season 2 Finale” highlights one of the best episodes of the season. We get plenty of behind-the-scenes interviews and production footage showing how the show was conceived and executed. ***

“Mission: The Making of Sub-Conscious” provides similar background on a top notch episode as well. ***

“Dark of the Moon: Weapons” shows us how much detail goes into the weapons work on the show focusing on the title episode. ---
