As an Englishman watching S. W. A. T. I have found the series quite entertaining. The stories and action are good, the casting and scripts are ok.

But...there have been a few "fast forward" moments. The 'thruple' ?! Who wrote that and why? That was just awful. Streets mum, yep like many other reviews, annoying, dragged out and unnecessary. And Darryl and his dad, that just didn't interest me at all.

Now the main thing, a lot of reviews go on about how PC it is - leave race, gays, covid, discrimination, whatever, out of the series. Why? This must be the Englishman in me part. Sure it may be uncomfortable viewing at times, but, hey, it's real life. Discrimination at work, racism, protesting, woke. It's all there, it's happening. If anything the series is highlighting it for the viewer.

Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed it, dont listen to the negativity, just wat h it and enjoy for what it is.

The first 3 seasons offered action story's and decent acting ,then during the recording period of covid they decided to change the whole format 5 mins of action , the rest of their private lives from deacon to Hondo to lucas in Germany , they are all now faces of the blmmovement , every person's in the show is now forcing a narrative they didn't need to push , sad was a decent show.

You watch TV shows to be entertained. I was. So many people slammed this and said wasn't realistic. It's a tv show, not the news or documentary.

Just can not stand this show, especially one dimensional Shemar Moore. The stories have this pc feel that even this left of center guy can't stomach. The shows are disjointed and the acting and directing is just so sub par

I thought the show was entertaining, and it's approach to everyday situations, was very well written, as with all new t.v. shows it will take a couple of episodes for the Actors to get comfortable, relaxed and settled into their characters, I admit there were 1 or 2 teething problems, as there are with all new t.v. shows and I hope they will be sorted by the next episode. The character castings are diverse and easy on the eyes, and to be honest Shemar Moore seems to fit right in; so go on, give it a try, I am sure you will like it enough, to want to tune in for the following episodes We did.

Since when SWAT became Special Weapons And Tactics AND Investigation AND Detective AND Patrol unit???? Where is this series going????

Where the SPECIAL WEAPONS? Wheres the TACTICS?

Its all about police drama catching bad guys and become all in one unit and a whole police departement. I think watching this series is one whole fat all in one unit for the whole city... Come ooooon.... You guys watch the movie history already? Did swat doing FBI thing in that movie? Did swat doing detective job there?

We want to see SPECIAL WEAPONS AND TACTIS not a one superpower unit all in one called SWAT 20david for the whole city. Why dont you called the series The Avengers SWAT.

I don't know why but I enjoy watching S.W.A.T Yes it has it's faults here and there but I've seen much worse shows out there

Season four seems very politically based And very sensitive to peoples 'feelings' in the current climate. Just seems the shower has got very soft and dumb down for people to watch without getting offended in anyway possible.

Well spent 40 minutes. I do not know what you complain about. This is a series not a reality show!!!

S01- S03- S. W. A. T Special Weapons And Tactics.

S04 P. C. D. S. S Political Correctness Drama And Some Shooting.

Most People watch TV to escape reality and see some good action. Not sit down to watch domestic disputes, arguments or petty squabble about political issues with the city of the show. The team going under investigation and then discuss the "Optics" from the Mayors office I have to watch this on my Tablet so I can just skip through all of the stuff mentioned above.

The show was OK, Now it's become a political info commercial for Hollywood's left. Can't hardly stand it anymore ,I'm done,

I don't usually review. But Jesus, as a military trained and medical professional, where the hell was the professional advisors. I had high hopes for this series, it is truly awful. It lacks any relevance of realism at all. Utter rubbish!

I admit the first couple of episodes seemed poor but I stuck with it and it gets better and better Entertaining and enjoyable for me, I personally would advise skipping first few episodes as the rest of the season has been so much better in comparison

Each episode is a like a mini film. Great story lines on the main plots. The underpinning social justice and politically correct angles are really annoying. Guess it's their point of view and I don't have to watch it. It would be nice to watch a show that's good but not overtly political.

I watch this sort of show for entertainment. The world can be such a harsh place that I am happy to have something like this to escape into. I honestly don´t understand why people need something like this to be realistic. If I wanted to watch a show about real SWAT procedures then I´m sure there´s a documentary or reality TV show about it. If you want real life there is always the news. This is no less realistic than Criminal Minds, which I really enjoy too. I don´t usually leave reviews, but I really think some of them on here are way too harsh. I nearly didn´t watch at all based on the reviews, but I am happy that I did. I´m only on the 3rd episode and I´m really enjoying it. I like the camaraderie of the team, and that despite their differences they all come together when necessary. The development of the relationships, and now finding out more about the personal lives of each of the team. The filming is great, showing LA at it´s best. And I like the fact that they choose to do things the kind way rather than the LAPD way. I did have a giggle when a suspect walked away from Honchos questioning only to walk into the whole team standing around waiting outside. Oh, and really enjoying the soundtrack. Looking forward to further developements

But as the seasons went on, I realized the show has shifted from a good action show, the likes of Law & Order, to PC garbage. I don't get the writers though, these kinds of shows target a certain crowd, why on Earth will you sabotage your show just to please a crowd who isn't typically interested in this type of entertainment to begin with? TBH I'm kinda angry lol. I used to LOVE the show; the characters, the storyline, the action... it's really frustrating how entertainment is compromised by cancel culture and "wokesters", and even more frustrating how writers and producers are subjected to it.

Anyway, Season 1-3 are really good (especially 1 & 2). Seasons 4 and onwards takes a nosedive.

All the reviews focus on the reality of this show, I look for a good action series and the acting&filming it's great. Pure entertainment, what else do you need? If you enjoy action without too much fuss this is a series for you.

I want entertainment and not constant politics. Any media is full of politics anyway so TV series could remain entertainment.

First, I watched this because I knew Kenny (Luca) and S. Ryan (Producer) from The Shield series, a masterpiece. I was hopping something great too, but the most remarkable thing from SWAT are some cameos from The Shield (Billings is still Billings) what was great though.

Secondly, SWAT is a super cheesy series,100% predictable, and worst of all the last two seasons are getting involved into political-racial issues (not interesting when you produce cheesy fiction) instead creating something more risky and interesting like The Shield.

Last, even the cast is pretty good and most of them credible as SWAT members (Street and Luca are the best) on the other hand Hondo has the worst acting by far. Same face, same words, same acting repeating on every single episode.

So overall, just cheesy entertainment not to think too much. Easy to forget almost every single episode because the lack of any interesting and deep storyline here.

This is an entertaining show with good actors and good writers. The writers focus on the human condition including compassion and the fact we animals are far from perfect. My wife and i quit watching TV TOGETHER because i would always point out inconsistencies in what is possible. I quit doing that but we still watch separately. Our tastes continue to diverge. I now look for good actors and writers and disregard reality. For realism, watch reality shows like COPS. But how real is that if a camera crew follows them around. And isn't it mostly boring? A Canadian version of SWAT called FLASHPOINT seemed more realistic. I quit watching it when the Team killed a woman on a rooftop who was threatening her husband with a gun. The husband was a beast who had put her in the hospital several times and treated her like the dirt under his fingernails. My preference would have been to let her kill the man and call it self-defense.

BESIDES, if reality is so important to you, throw away your TV and live a REAL LIFE. There are very few shows that are REAL, especially REALITY shows.

SWAT starts off incredibly well. The first 2 episodes are based on two of the world's most talked topics. The SWAT team takes on the local terrorists or huge threats of the local area. Hondo is The Hero. He has done a job to remember. His heoirc style, his last moment entries are worth watching.

Many episodes in the middle lack good story and thrill. Most of them, like I remember that of Supernatural, seem to be similar to many.

As the series progresses, we see the character development and the arc. Unlike, Dr. House, where we see quite different and surprising episodes every time although some seeming to be similar, here there is a greater character development. I wish they could have done the same with Dr. HOUSE to keep it more engaging as it goes through.

Hondo, does face a lot of challenges and situations he has to come through being the gero towards the end. It's no easy peasy for him. Similarly, life is like that. It's not a go through it ride. Life has emotions, challenges, responsibilities, problems one has to go through. Even while writing this, my hands shake, considering that I am not considering my problems, not working on it, just writing reviews one after another, watching movies and series.

Sometimes what you need is time to get through some things. I have a good career, love in my life, and fairly enough money to be happy and consider myself a high middle class individual. Still, satisfaction seems far away. I don't know why. Ibwish there could be more reasons to smile in life, rather than just being involved in a million things in life.

Unfortunately, the action sequences aren't much better than the stupid plots.

My understanding of a SWAT Team would be, they support the detectives when some firepower is needed, for example storm a hideout, seal off a hostage situation and so on.

Contrary to that understanding, this SWAT Team does (most of) the detective work, interrogations - even at the hospital beds - and so forth.....

Now, I might be wrong here, but I don't think so (Adrian Monk)
