Question How long did the Strike Team know each other?
They mention how they are "brothers" and this is a family, but they also state that the events of the show is only 3 years. I feel like its unlikely that they could have this family like relationship unless they have known each other for many years, at the very least 5-10 years?
And it also feels like, similar to Sopranos, we the viewer are coming in near the end of the journey. Like if they've been friends for years and that friendship eventually crashes and burns, the show takes place over the last few years of that friendship.
