SEAL Team (2017)

Watchseries; I've seen a few reviews of SEAL Team. It is NOT like the Brave or SIX. The Brave is more like a Rainbow Six book, covert multi-service team that takes on the tier 1+ cases/ops; fiction to the max. SIX is just, eh.

Now, SEAL Team, I dig this show. I'm by no means an operator but did spend time around them, and a bunch of time in the service. They get a lot right in this show and must have a great crew of Subject Matter Experts (SME's) attached to the show. A big plus is not every show is a shoot out!

David Boreanaz stands out; especially his matter of fact, no sh*t stance leadership style. He's getting it right in this role, a bit better than the "sniper" FBI agent from Bones.

Check this show out. Don't just watch one show, give it a few.

SEAL Team watchseries. Scripts were well written, actors all really good and acting smart, not the usual kind of mindless chase n pursuit n shooting, but well calculated plan for each action. I just love this series, real smart n pack of full action.

Apparently some of the other reviewers didn't even watch the show. None of the women are Seals. One is a Naval Intelligence Officer, and the other is CIA. Though paired down, it's exactly the type of comand direct interdiction that seal teams actually work in. It's surprisingly good if you know anything about the subject. (And I get it, I don't care for the leftist media agenda either, but the ladies in this show aren't an example of media bias.) The plot moves fairly well, and the show is quite good about dealing with very generalized details of planning covert ops. I would described it as mindless, action oriented fun, but they keep it relavent by basing most the plot points on current foreign affairs. During a resent episode they even dealt with the US helping Saudi Arabia, causing more enemies for us in Yeman. But don't let facts get in the way of your hate. I would also venture to guess that the family back stories don't exist just to draw in the female crowd (as another reviewer suggested) but rather to illustrate that these operators are people too, so the audience actually has a vested interest in weather they live or die. If you pay attention to even the slightest details, like who the female characters are, you'll get a lot more out of it.

I have never written a review of everything, but I love this show. It has heart, feeling and tells a very compelling story.

I have no military background so as a civvy I found this series to actually concentrate on the problems the individuals involved to be a bit of a revelation. No glorifying of war but just a straightforward synopsis of what I can only imagine an elite fighting unit would undergo. They're human. Not robots.

Look...no network TV show is going to be totally accurate. This isn't a documentary. I was a JAG and that TV show wasn't even close to being accurate. But it WAS entertaining. And, like this show, it captures the spirit and fellowship of a tight military team. Whoever these folks are dissing the show I have news for you...women play vital roles in our armed services. The contribution here is fairly accurate from what I understand. This is entertaining, it's patriotic and it honors the men and women in the front lines of the war on terror. I also appreciate that it attempts to highlight the sacrifices of the family members supporting our servicemen and servicewomen. As a veteran and the father of two servicemen, I thank CBS for a pretty solid and interesting show. Thanks for honoring the best America has to offer.
