Tonight in HD: April 10

SoHo Highlight: Strike Back (Sky 10, 8.30, 5.1) Season finale: Scott and Stonebridge track a pair of suicide bombers who could bring Budapest – and the World Security Summit – to its knees. Said The AV Club of the series The Independent memorably dubbed “a terminally dim-witted bit of SAS combat porn“: “As much as the show could be dismissed for its gratuity, episode 10 confidently demonstrated that there was a sum to these parts, a sum that provided an enormously satisfying finale that I hope will usher in a new era in which Strike Back is considered a great action drama first, and a vessel for excess second.” Production of 10 more episodes is under way, complete with a new recruit: Boston Legal’s Rhona Mitra, who soon will be seen in Four’s The Gates.  ✮✮✮✮

Sky Movies Greats Premiere: Into the Blue (Sky 22, 8.30, 5.1) Bikini babes and board shorts beefcake abound in this treasure-hunting thriller about four friends who go swimming with sharks and wind up dancing with even more dangerous predators: drug dealers.

Sky Movies Premiere: Jumping the Broom (Sky 20, 8.30, 5.1) Said the Philadelphia Inquirer: “This buoyant, multigenerational comedy that takes its title from the African American wedding ritual has other distinctions as well. It’s relatively raunch-free, it has a sparkling cast that reunites Waiting to Exhale stars Angela Bassett and Loretta Devine as combative matriarchs, and it likes its characters well enough to forgive them their faults.” (2011) ✮✮✮
