S01- S03- S. W. A. T Special Weapons And Tactics.
S04 P. C. D. S. S Political Correctness Drama And Some Shooting.
Most People watch TV to escape reality and see some good action. Not sit down to watch domestic disputes, arguments or petty squabble about political issues with the city of the show. The team going under investigation and then discuss the "Optics" from the Mayors office I have to watch this on my Tablet so I can just skip through all of the stuff mentioned above.

I don't usually review. But Jesus, as a military trained and medical professional, where the hell was the professional advisors. I had high hopes for this series, it is truly awful. It lacks any relevance of realism at all. Utter rubbish!
The first 3 seasons offered action story's and decent acting ,then during the recording period of covid they decided to change the whole format 5 mins of action , the rest of their private lives from deacon to Hondo to lucas in Germany , they are all now faces of the blmmovement , every person's in the show is now forcing a narrative they didn't need to push , sad was a decent show.
But as the seasons went on, I realized the show has shifted from a good action show, the likes of Law & Order, to PC garbage. I don't get the writers though, these kinds of shows target a certain crowd, why on Earth will you sabotage your show just to please a crowd who isn't typically interested in this type of entertainment to begin with? TBH I'm kinda angry lol. I used to LOVE the show; the characters, the storyline, the action... it's really frustrating how entertainment is compromised by cancel culture and "wokesters", and even more frustrating how writers and producers are subjected to it.
Anyway, Season 1-3 are really good (especially 1 & 2). Seasons 4 and onwards takes a nosedive.

Since when SWAT became Special Weapons And Tactics AND Investigation AND Detective AND Patrol unit???? Where is this series going????
Where the SPECIAL WEAPONS? Wheres the TACTICS?
Its all about police drama catching bad guys and become all in one unit and a whole police departement. I think watching this series is one whole fat all in one unit for the whole city... Come ooooon.... You guys watch the movie history already? Did swat doing FBI thing in that movie? Did swat doing detective job there?
We want to see SPECIAL WEAPONS AND TACTIS not a one superpower unit all in one called SWAT 20david for the whole city. Why dont you called the series The Avengers SWAT.
