Review by sunraider

I discovered this show on Paramount+ as I cut the cord years ago as network TV just didn't offer me anything that I actually wanted to watch. I still can't believe this show is/was a network TV show. I have binged watch up to Season 5 and I sure hope this is renewed. Unlike some past fare such as "The Unit" and the short-lived "Over There" the focus of this show remains squarely on the team and we're not bogged down with "homefront" concerns unless the team members are experiencing them. I'm impressed with the story lines and exploration of real world issues such as PTSD, rivalries within special forces community, officer/enlisted divide, changes to the political landscape and even how to handle (or not handle) aging out and moving on. The operators here are portrayed as real people with strengths and weaknesses, and I appreciate that some missions are failures, and that the characters themselves, even if all are operators, can disagree about tactics. The cast is superb, the action looks realistic to my untrained eye, and the writing is top notch. Love how the episodes don't necessarily end with the bow tied neatly but leave you with questions and looking forward to the next episode.
