- Funny Moments: Lots, although it tends to fall on the grimmer side of humor.
- Heartwarming Moments: Despite being a general hardass, Henno accidentally has these on occasion. Even Louie gets an extended one in Season 3 while dealing with 'Christmas'.
- Heartwarming in Hindsight: Many viewers scoffed at the idea of Becca Gallagher's inclusion in the squad.note Then in 2018, women were allowed to join the S.A.S.
- Moment of Awesome: Frequently, particularly when Colonel Dempsey gets in on the action circa Season 3.
- Only the Creator Does It Right: Co-creator Chris Ryan was an advisor on the first two seasons, ensuing a reasonably accurate portrayal of life in the SAS. But he and several members of the main cast left the show after season and the show became less successful in its final two seasons.
- Replacement Scrappy: The final two seasons saw Corporal Dave Woolston fill Ricky's spot as the token black guy in the team, but failed to make any kind of lasting impression. The same goes for Corporal Ed Dwye and later Corporal Finn Younger for Jamie (the former made so little impression that he died in-between seasons and viewers didn't notice).
- Retroactive Recognition:
- That's Jamie Bamber as Dotsy and Richard Armitage as Captain Macalwain.
- A young Russell Tovey appears as one of the bank robbers in the first episode.
- A young Thomas Brodie-Sangster is one of the cult members in "What in the Name of God".
- The Scrappy:
- Alex Leonard in Series 1 had few redeeming features and added little to the series.
- Becca Gallagher for some from Series 3.
- Seasonal Rot: The final two seasons saw half the cast unceremomiously killed off, potentially interesting storylines abandoned and unpopular new additions to the cast.
