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.

...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...

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!

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?
