Aside from the top-secret military group that embarks on dangerous missions abroad, the appeal of The Unit also comes from wives of the team members and how they deal with their lives as part of the military.

Though she has played various roles on Six Feet Under, The Shield, Birds of Prey, and CSI, just to name a few, Brammell says that there's something special about playing Tiffy that has attracted her more with the role.

Death is something inevitable for a military series that deals with heroism just like The Unit. While viewers have already been accustomed to tragedies arising from the perilous missions of the top-secret military squad, many are still astonished with the idea that one of the key players of the team no longer exists. Now, millions of fans are mourning for Sergeant First Class Hector “Hammerhead” Williams, portrayed by Demore Barnes, as he was fatally shot in the neck by a sniper while the team was trying to escape from Hezbollah during the rescue mission in Beirut in the episode entitled “Five Brothers.”
Williams was an experienced marksman who was a Unit operator assigned to Alpha Team of the 1st Special Actions Group. Aside from frequently serving as a sharpshooter, he also served as the team's medic. He was a favorite among many fans, and judging from the reaction of BuddyTV readers, most of them aren't happy with the producers' decision to take out the character.
