I know it's already been mentioned elsewhere but "Falling Skies" tops my list at the minute. Basically Tw2000 after an alien invasion. Very carefully written with some very clever plot twists and some character that would make great NPCs. Highly recommended.

I've watched 3 combat hospitals. Multinationals is definately T2K. Story lines arent "hard enough" to sustain interest though. Graded out at C. Most of the setting is at the combat hospital. And when there are spec forces or action, from what i could see it was only when they attended the hospital for some self-rightiousness from the drs and nurses.
Glad i dropped into the thread though, i'll be giving falling skies a follow up.

Strike Back 2 should be worth a look. Except it seems to have "stopped" after 2 episodes (scheduled for 10).

Episode two is definitely on this weekend in the UK - don't know anything about a hold on the other eight though.

I'm not a Chris Ryan book fan. But as far as tv goes, Strike Back has been worth a look.

The only one of his books I've read was The One That Got Away, so I can't comment on how the series compares to the books, but would say it's definitely worth watching if you get the chance. Reminded me a bit of Ultimate Force.

Turning Point: the Bomb and the Cold War
I highly recommend the Netflix docu-series, Turning Point: the Bomb and the Cold War.
https://www.netflix.com/title/81614129 It's very thorough and well-produced- lots of historical footage, interviews with esteemed scholars and historical figures. Putin's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 is the brief prologue and then it begins tracing the Cold War to its roots in the Russian Revolution in 1917 forward to the present day. I've been studying the Cold War since I was a teenager in the late 1980s (followed by a university history degree, and teacher of history to this day) and I'm learning something new with every episode. If you enjoy this, there's another Turning Point series on 9-11 and the War on Terror, also excellent. -
