Six

Six is at once an action-packed drama and a fresh look at many realities of war, even those which some viewers may not want to see or actually believe take place. But perhaps even better, the show does an earnest and honest job at demonstrating the human side of the modern warfighter, and the double lives they live. From Vikings to Six, History is telling some great stories via the medium of great drama. With Six they made a solid decision in their choice of writers and producers with proved talent who are veterans in the military genre, as well as actual war veterans, lending credibility to the scripts and production. And the show hit the jackpot with the leads they cast in actors who are able to convincingly play the roles of the nations most elite, in all their grime and glory.

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.

I'm loving this series! Walt rocks it as always as the tortured man. He's a man with a dark past and I want to know what has caused him so much pain. As an arm brat I totally understand the home life and the fear what my Dad was going through. The action is spot on and the family dynamics both at home and in the team or great. One of the biggest complaints I've heard is about the violence but I feel it's nothing we haven't already seen. I'm more taken by the husband and wife relationships and how the navigate those waters. That's the gold I think. It's Zero Dark Thirty with family. I just wish everyone wasn't so good looking. My new favorite show for the season.

Hollywood manages to make perhaps the greatest special forces team look like a bunch of loose cannon F-ups. The show has quality actors and there are good stories to tell, but this program seems to digress into the personal problems...making each character a drunk, a absent father behind on support, a violent control freak, etc, etc, etc....you fill in the blank. Not a normal balanced person among the characters.

This is far from reality. Seals are a little crazy, but they are the some of the most personally disciplined people on the planet earth.

This show needs new writers or it will be canceled quickly. Can we focus a little more on their loyalty and commitment to each other. The danger they face, the difficult training and the bad guys they fight?
