| 1 | * AssPull: Many fans feel that [[spoiler:Molly wanting a divorce from Jonas]] at the end of the show is a complete 180 of her characterization for the entire preceding series. |
| 2 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The series' first main theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgaULlp7y9M Fired Up (Feels Good)]]. |
| 3 | * BetterOnDVD: Reading the synopsis and then skipping sub-plots & scenes involving the family members in the episodes where they have nothing directly to do with the military mission makes the show a much better tight action series. |
| 4 | ** These scenes generally boil down to "Mack and Tiffy have a terrible relationship", "Molly is controlling with the other women then tires of The Unit's impact on their lives", "Kim is annoyingly stupid and puts her husband's job at risk", "Col Ryan and Tiffy having an affair is really bad" and "the children get into some kind of trouble." |
| 5 | * DeathOfTheAuthor: While a lot of the outline for the cancelled Season 5 that the showrunner eventually revealed is well-liked, his plans to have [[spoiler:token ActionGirl Red Cap]] get StuffedIntoTheFridge can come across as a big disservice to the character, especially after how , [[spoiler:she was meant to be a short-term character who was popular enough to keep around and had already been subjected to the controversial plot line where a FakeDefector pretends to try to rape her to make his defection look real]]. |
| 6 | * NightmareFuel: The episode where [[spoiler: the hometown of the main characters is attacked by terrorists who flood the area with deadly chlorine gas]]. The things we see are horrific, and the extended implications even moreso. Hundreds, if not thousands of people in their town die. Now just imagine if it happened to ''you''. |
| 7 | * OneSceneWonder: Creator/DavidReesSnell as Leon Drake, super-terrorist. |
| 8 | * StrawmanPolitical: The liberal anti-war college professor whom was given a EasyEvangelism verbal beatdown from Tiffy. |
| 9 | ** The aid worker in a Season 4 episode about transporting an Afghan child bride to another tribe. She is [[HonorBeforeReason obsessed with the girl's plight]] and the lives of potentially hundreds of American soldiers mean nothing to her. |
