Six

This went from a 7 for the first season to a 6 for the second season. It went from a good solid entertaining show about the Navy Seals, to trying to be another Homeland. It's not Homeland. Not even close. I wish they just stuck to being what they were good at in the first season.

I'm kind of disappointed in all the bad reviews. I don't think a lot of the people watching are even giving this show a chance. Hearing the people who were involved with this show talk about it - its obvious they took special pains to make it authentic. I think they're trying to show both sides of the coin, their family life and the life they lead on the battle field. I think it has enough testosterone to keep men watching it and enough attention to the trials of family life that women will watch. I'm enjoying the crisis of conscience they show in the characters. The show brings light to the fact that no decision these men make is ever easy in the heat of the moment, nothing is ever black or just white.

I plan to keep watching it and believe it can only get better with each episode. Give it a chance!

...not in the life of a commando nor in the universe of TV-shows. To keep it short: Well made, good actors. In regards to the story: We will see. I have only seen the pilot so far and I think it's too soon to make a final verdict.

But I would like to address some of the reviews on this show:

• Sex: I only remember one brief sex scene. And there wasn't even much skin involved. Guys: this is a show about humans and humans have sex - you are the product of such an event neither you like it or not. But hey, I'm from Europe and I will burn in hell for my liberal views anyway... :)

• Scalping: Do some research. There ARE allegations in this direction. Are they true? I don't know. But obviously it's not totally invented by the writers of the show. I neither apologies their possible doings nor do I condemn them as a whole. However: Is it true, it is distasteful even if the enemy uses similar tactics in psychological warfare. Killing them should be enough and do the trick.

The only criticism I have is that the guys are shown as very impulsive and sometimes with low self control. I would assume that that's not very realistic. But what do I know...

I really liked the show season 1 with Walton Goggins. After that it has gone downhill fast. The show does still make me think, but the show needs more insight into seal training and brotherhood. The teenage girl stuff seems a bit hollywood (especially the girl who is being recruited).

I'm getting tired of the new trend where season 1 of a show will feature a prominent actor, and then they try to have a bunch of unknowns carry the show.

This is by no means a full review, but the first episode shows that the crew put in a lot of effort and time into getting the tactics, equipment and firefights down. The script is lacking a bit, but if you were expecting the next Breaking Bad or The Wire, I don't think this is the show for you. This show is a breath of fresh air amongst all the cop shows, political dramas, fantasy, and crime shows. A good military show that keeps it real and portrays the SEALs in a human light rather than a larger than life and infallible superheroes. If you've spent your time around vets like the SEALs or other SOF members or are one yourself, I think you'll find the show suitable as a good drama to check out. Also, if you've read the article "The Crimes of SEAL Team 6", you'll know some of controversial things done on the show are true to real life.
