Boreanaz holds the center, a significant task in a series that doesn’t leave a lot of room to write around the shortcomings of individual actors, let alone its lead. He’s great in a series that fulfills its mission to keep us interested and makes us want to see where it's leading.

The tactical precision and comms banter suggest Call of Duty adaptation, which could work with a cast this solid, and Neil Brown Jr is especially fun as a no-bull soldier. But the show's portrayal of modern warfare is too simplistic. [29 Sep, 2017, p.54]

SEAL Team captures all the action, excitement, and adrenaline of the epitomized military/special-operations motion picture, but balances this with very relevant and real depictions of personal issues, struggles with mental health, and societal problems. As someone with 12+ years of martial arts experience and an avid action film critic, this series has some of the most realistic combat choreography out there, and still manages to be gripping for the viewer. SEAL Team satisfies a quench for action without compromising on realism nor relying heavily on plot armour.

The new series SEAL Team typifies the CBS procedural: by-the-numbers, safe and predictable enough to satisfy even the most casual viewer. That’s not to say that the military drama, starring David Boreanaz (late of “Bones”), doesn’t have its plusses. It does, in that meat-and-potatoes, formulaic kind of way that neither surprises or disappoints.

The best moments in this show are when Hayes is prepping for combat with his team. ... Where SEAL Team is weakest is when any scene turns away from fighting enemies to a discussion of fighting enemies.

It’s similar to History’s “Six,” which aired earlier this year, as well as CBS’s own 2006-09 show “The Unit.”

Just don’t expect much more than Boreanaz’s command presence in Seal Team. You’ll see where it’s going long before it gets there, no matter how far off the missions might be.

Although it boasts more star power and a slightly higher grade of production value than The Brave, it also saddles its characters with the sort of personal travails that are meant to humanize them but generally only function as over-familiar padding.

A reasonably solid show but all the team seems to do on their down time is drink alcohol ! Really, is this what professional soldiers esp elite teams do? Enlighten me please !!!

B-movie version of Lioness. Wooden acting, cringe dialog, 80's style of action with ludicrous bullet sponges. Hard to believe this got seven seasons. Even harder that anyone watches this.

Love Sealteam. But I am so disappointed that in season 5 they started swearing and using the F_ _ _word so much. It did not add anything good to the show. Bad language dies not make a show good. It shows lack of language skills!

after being caught up on Taylor Sheridan's two seasons of Lioness I thought I'd give Seal Team a shot. After the first ten minutes I looked for another show. Really lame writing and acting. The combat scenes are a joke. David was barely tolerable in Buffy, here he's worse.
