Strike Back - Season 1 <FREE — VERSION>

Season 1 centers on John Porter (Richard Armitage), a disgraced SAS operative living with the guilt of a failed hostage rescue in Iraq (2003). When a terrorist known as Latif resurfaces using Porter’s old call sign, Porter is reactivated. The season follows a single, linear mission: track Latif, uncover a plot to release a biological weapon (the "Project Dawn" virus), and atone for past failure. Unlike the subsequent buddy-action format (Stonebridge and Scott), Season 1 is a singular protagonist’s redemption tragedy.
