Based on the best-selling novel "Point of Impact" by Stephen Hunter, and the 2007 feature film starring Mark Wahlberg, the series stars Ryan Phillippe ("Secrets and Lies") and follows the courageous journey of Bob Lee Swagger, a highly-decorated ex-Marine sniper who is coaxed back into action after he learns about a plot to kill the president. When Swagger's former commanding officer Isaac Johnson, played by Omar Epps ("House"), solicits his expertise in a clandestine operation, Swagger re-emerges from exile only to discover that he is inextricably involved in a disastrous operation with ties to his past.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Ryan Phillippe's efforts aren't enough to salvage Shooter, a tedious, under-developed drama that lacks an original voice or perspective.

John Doyle Globe and Mail 11/16/2016
It's fast-paced and propulsive, but not exactly original. What makes it interesting is not the turning-and-twisting narrative, but the context. You know what I mean - guns, the U.S.A., guns and more guns. Go to Full Review
Brian Lowry CNN.com 11/16/2016
Shooter delivers a limited amount of simple-minded thrills, while seeking to emulate the pacing that turned 24 into a long-running hit. But the entire exercise feels tired. Go to Full Review
Meredith Blake Orlando Sentinel 11/15/2016
The biggest problem with Shooter isn't its uncomfortable topicality, it's that the show has virtually no point of view regarding the complicated issues it brings to the fore. Go to Full Review
Rebecca Iannucci TV Line 10/18/2018
If you're a fan of government-centric mysteries, Shooter is certainly for you - and the premiere episode is just intriguing enough to work. Go to Full Review

The pilot was intriguing, but didn't sell the show like it should have. Go to Full Review
Daniel Johnson Screen Rant 11/16/2016
If the series can stay focused on Swagger's story without straying too far into subplots and avoid a convoluted narrative, Shooter has a good chance to find and retain an audience looking for an action-packed, if somewhat conventional thriller. Go to Full Review

Daniel T Jul 8 After having read the books, and watched the movie, there is a lot to be disappointed in. It seems that the basis of the books is sacrificed for political correctness. In the actual books Bob Lee is a Vietnam veteran who lives in Arkansas, alone with his dog. Now you're making him a married man in Washington!?! Nick Memphis, the agent in the books, is a sniper dude who missed a shot and married the woman he crippled. Here you make him a female. I made it about 5 minutes into the first episode and there are so many discrepancies that I turned it off. See more Jacob M 07/01/2023 I thought this was a great show! The story line is constantly changing but also all ties together. I think it was written by excellent writers! The action/fight scenes are plentiful and top notch! The only bad thing I can say about this show is that it ended. I really hope they bring more. Only reason I'm writing a review. Hopefully this helps in the decision to green light more seasons. See more Lyn B 05/29/2023 It started of alright, then I realised that this had quite a few episodes too be honest I did get bored.. If you don't know his name of the main person in this film, you certainly will at the end The don't stop saying his name during this movie.. I've stop watching during series 1, will I go back and watch the rest,cos you know how it's all going to end.... Watch the series HOMELAND, now that is good 👍 👌 👏...... See more 06/10/2021 I really like this show. Can't recall seeing Ryan Philippe in anything but he's so good in this role, way better than Wahlberg was in the movie. See more 03/30/2021 My kids love it, family friendly if you have teens at home, no sex (not much), not bad words, great, we are having fun. See more 01/29/2021 As has already been pointed out, the clear errors are a distraction. I'm no veteran or military expect, but there are clear issues. To say a .223 can't kill a person is ludicrous, and that is in the first 15 minutes. You would think Mark Walberg would know better, based on the movies he's done. Looking over the other issues, later in the series, the main character who owns a shop full of tools and guns, works on an expensive rifle with a crescent wrench. These are VERY simple details that can't be forgiven and tend to ruin the show. Furthermore, the whole series hinges on the assumption that the main character would figure out an error in the sniper position, abandon his wife, and arrive at just the right time to get framed. Overall, it's both entertaining and irritating. See more Read all reviews
