They are The Unit, a covert Special Forces team operating outside the usual military chain of command, risking their lives on undercover missions at home and abroad. Their identities are highly classified, a secret that's also fiercely guarded by their wives. But despite the men's determination to protect their families from the dangers of the job, they've learned that the enemy they have defeated in the field is also capable of bringing the fight right back to their own front door. Hailed by the critics as thrilling, explosive and downright gung-ho, "The Unit revolutionizes the military drama." (TV Guide)This six disc collection includes all 23 episodes from Season 2 of The Unit!

| | Professional Reviews | Variety 8 of 10
A manly show about super-secret Special Forces officers and the women who love them, this muscular hour is neither the recruiting film it initially appears to be nor the gruff look at soldiering that might have been anticipated given its production auspices. Foremost, "The Unit" plays like "Mission: Impossible" for the war-on-terror age, with the humanizing twist of simultaneously focusing on military wives who sweat out each mission at home, relying on each other for emotional support..."The Unit" is also elevated by its personnel, who are impressively cast from top to bottom -- beginning with Haysbert, nicely handling his demotion from commander in chief on "24" to field commander here; and a steely Robert Patrick as his office-bound boss...Based on a book by retired Command Sgt. Maj. Eric L. Haney, the series doesn't break new ground, but it's a notch above CBS' procedural crime formula... - Brian Lowry
