With its characters at once thin and broad; its L.A. backdrop; and its mix of existential philosophizing, social commentary and corny representations of hot-button issues, “S.W.A.T.” also recalls and has some of the appeal of Jack Webb’s classic "Dragnet," but with a more progressive outlook and a sprinkling of sex scenes.

SWAT upholds its reputation as one of the most realistic yet entertaining law enforcement, military, and combat TV shows out there. Everything felt authentic, with a shockingly original storyline and a plot that was gripping to watch. Sadly, networks have decided to discontinue this show after Season 7, and its dedicated fanbase continues to advocate for its extension. Such a show is unrivalled and its termination will end an era of action television.

I generally like the show which IMHO lives off of its cast. It would even be better without the simping and pushing of political messages though.

The new S.W.A.T. has become something other than a cops-versus-bad-guys drama. Now it’s an hour spent in awe of its star, Shemar Moore.

S.W.A.T. had a chance to do something different, maybe even provocative. So far, the same old-same old.

Give them credit for trying a different take on cop shows, but S.W.A.T. simply falls flat in every conceivable way.

Of course every character is a cardboard cutout of a human being. The job of the show is to solve difficult problems in an easily understood way for the masses who are otherwise cooking dinner or checking their email. Complexity and shades of gray just get in the way. It's hard for the fellas to take care of business if you muck up the lines between good and bad.

S.W.A.T, on the other hand, is nothing but action figures, and when the characters do speak, they sound so moronic you may as well watch the show with the sound off.

The propaganda mill uses a good show to programme watchers with its mind manipulations.Ep11 with the Ukrainianrefugee being targeted buy Russians?! Again Russia is painted as the bad guy, when Ukraine has a very sour underbelly. I won't say more, other than, keep the political tripe out of ****?!!
