just caught this show on hulu and only on E2 so far I like it and as an american I enjoy watching shows like this from other English speaking countries. however I don't get why would they board a ship of "supposedly" Somalian pirates/drug runners with an asp.....why wouldn't they board the ship with their pistols drawn...if one of those guys popped around the corner and had a firearm that asp isn't gonna do them any good and I doubt they'd be able to draw fast enough without suffering.I know that Britain has very strict gun laws and regulations so I'd assume thats why the pistol is a secondary weapon.overall good show. I enjoyed it and it would be nice to get more episodes on here. nice to see something other than American military type shows once and awhile.

Don't know what the stand operating procedure is in Australia but the way they boarded those two drug ships astounds me. They keep mentioning how the smugglers tried to kill them and even mentioned how they have killed in the past, so I would've assumed they would've used extreme caution when boarding the ships and detaining the crews. What confuses the hell out of me is that instead of drawing their weapons upon boarding, they used the hand signal for stop. It's as if they just pulled over the boats to issue them a ticket for a minor offense.

Great acting and writing, if it was an American (thank god it's not) show the writers probably would create
scenes full of boom, bang, let's blow something up every episode . I'll keep watching, hope to see more seasons posted.
