Ugh. This show is awful. The SEALs are portrayed as being angsty emo types who pause in the middle of missions to debate morality and question their mission, while every mission seems to be an afternoon's work, bookended by drama with their wives and girlfriends. The show seems to make out the life of a SEAL to be a day job -- wake up in the morning with your wife, have breakfast, fly off to Kraznovistan to kill a bunch of bad guys, and get home in time to tuck the kids in and fight with the wife.
The supporting female actresses are all impossibly hot, from the CIA operative to the mother of five. It's as if real women don't exist in this world, just like none of the SEALs seem to know how to shave.
Overall, the show is a laughable interpretation of the military through Hollywood's skewed eyes.

Like too many art house films, this picture is slow, listless, and pointless. Even such excellent acting talent as Bill Nighy cannot save it. I've lived in New York City and it's a much happier place than depicted in this horribly depressing film. If you decide to watch this film, do so with a licensed therapist beside you, or put the number for the suicide hotline on speed dial, because this film will leave you feeling like there is nothing worth living for.
Ugh. This show is so bad. Imagine three spoiled yuppies given an unlimited budget by Netflix to do nothing but travel the world and show off everyone else's ostentatious displays of wealth. Now imagine that those three yuppies are basically uneducated - only Jo Franco has a college degree, while Megan Batoon is a YouTube star and Luis Ortiz is a disgraced former real estate agent - and sound like it. The dialogue is vapid and shallow, there is little exploration of the genuine settings of these rentals (at one point, the trio treats the island of Bali as if it were a Disney animatronic stage), and they honestly are just flaunting their own wealth and beauty and that of the people who own the rentals that Netflix is paying for. This show is, intellectually, barely a step up from the Kardashians and Honey Booboo and a step below "Cops". I only watched this because I had no choice -- don't make my same mistake!
