is a small elite team..that's made up of British and American. It's small very small, so you don't get the big military feel from this show. They're known as 'section 20' they're very covert.

There is a back story on the members. It's not your typical 'yay military' series, they show the ugly side of both the British and American military. What they do to get things done. Of course there's some redeeming stuff. One of the main characters, is a womanizing asshole. Then there's the British guy who's married and cheating on his wife. The leader of the small group is a hard as nails woman who takes no shit from anyone.

It's really very good.

As for Magic City--love it. My husband, son and I all watch it. It's got that mob thing going on. Lots of sex--fyi. We were just talking about it the other day. Looking forward to the next season.

I watch a lot of the original programs on the pay channels. I started watching the first season of Showtimes House of Lies...seems pretty good too.

Don Cheadle is in it and I like him a lot.

House of Lies (stylized as HOU$E OF LIE$) is an American dramatic/comedy television series created by Matthew Carnahan.[1] The show, which premiered on Showtime on January 8, 2012, is based on the book, House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time, written by Martin Kihn, a former consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton. It follows a group of management consultants who stop at nothing to get business deals done, even if it calls for extremes. On February 1, 2012, it was renewed for a second season.[2]

The second season is set to premiere January 13, 2013 at 10 pm.[3]
