      Audience Reviews for S.W.A.T.: Season 1

      • Nov 13, 2023

        SWAT is one of the most realistic yet entertaining law enforcement, military, and combat TV shows out there. The new season definitely got off to an intense start in Thailand. Everything felt authentic in the first episode, with a storyline that was shockingly original and a plot that was gripping to watch.

      • Sep 05, 2023

        I know it is a tv series but the acting is at times laughable and not in a good way. From the bat cave (SWAT HQ) to the constant cliches and addressing every social justice issue, diversity, it becomes preachy and predictable. Maybe it targets youth.

      • Aug 03, 2023

        The older it gets the more clichés Harrelson uses. Not only that he is always preaching black on white, black on white and it is seriously sickening. He performed much much better on Criminal Minds than he does on SWAT. in SWAT he is rude overbearing hostile at times; mostly overall a poor performance

      • Jul 27, 2023

        S.W.A.T. is an action-packed TV show that showcases some impressive acting skills. The cast delivers strong performances, bringing their characters to life with depth and authenticity. However, one aspect that falls short is the portrayal of the action scenes involving the bad guys. It's hard to ignore the unrealistic nature of these scenes, where armed criminals recklessly charge towards the S.W.A.T. team without any cover. This lack of tactical awareness undermines the show's credibility and can be frustrating for viewers who appreciate attention to detail.

      • Jul 18, 2023

        Such a good show; a must watch!

      • Jul 13, 2023

        Terrible. Who are SWAT anyway ? Anti-Terrorism police , secret agents, detectives , Homeland Security, FBI , social workers ? Just muscle bound alpha males striding around with silly gloves and guns who shoot bad people . Oh there's a blond guy with a comedy haircut . A bit of woke is supposed to make the whole thing "relevant".

      • Jul 03, 2023

        SWAT! Great stories each episode. Entertaining, action packed, just enough drama, and great character development

      • Mar 17, 2023

        Acting by numbers and plot by numbers. Nothing original, cliched. There are bad guys, SWAT goes and gets them. No tension, no suspense and we really don't care. I cannot believe there have been so many series.

      • Mar 12, 2023

        "Fill the gaps, stay liquid !" yes but not too longtime...

      • Feb 17, 2023

        Good guys hunting and punching the bad guys somehow never gets old. S.W.A.T is certainly nothing new; with a bit too archetype-isch portrayal of elite police work. However, it's action loaded, quite diverse with interesting (enough) cases; and sufficiantly decent character writing. Surprisingly, from time to time, it shows more depth than you would expect from the average default-show. Also, it's scratching on political sensitive topics in a not extactly philosophical, but respectable way. Not a masterwork, but well made and actually more fun to watch than I expected.
