Boreanaz holds the center, a significant task in a series that doesn’t leave a lot of room to write around the shortcomings of individual actors, let alone its lead. He’s great in a series that fulfills its mission to keep us interested and makes us want to see where it's leading. Read full review

To its credit, SEAL Team attempts to examine the home life of the military men, but most of the story is devoted to action rather than drama. The action has a gritty “Zero Dark Thirty” look to it, but when the show does focus on the domestic side, it doesn’t dive as deep as History’s “Six,” another show about SEALs. ... It’s solid, if not going into new territory. Read full review

The drama plays to the strengths of its network, and its star. The missions are simple and paint the soldiers as patriotic and unimpeachably good. Read full review

[Seal Team] does an acceptable job with a cliché-ridden formula. Read full review

The best moments in this show are when Hayes is prepping for combat with his team. ... Where SEAL Team is weakest is when any scene turns away from fighting enemies to a discussion of fighting enemies. Read full review

It’s similar to History’s “Six,” which aired earlier this year, as well as CBS’s own 2006-09 show “The Unit.” Read full review

Although it boasts more star power and a slightly higher grade of production value than The Brave, it also saddles its characters with the sort of personal travails that are meant to humanize them but generally only function as over-familiar padding. Read full review

Excellent show! More realistic than most other military based shows on TV and in the Movies. The cast is easy to relate to as a veteran and mostly believable. This is probably the only show I watch on TV faithfully. Please renew. These guys do a great job. Way better than SIX.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this show. David Boreanaz is great. He makes me want to keep watching. It is well cast. I can't wait to see more of Jason Hayes with his wife and kids. I hope they end up working things out and getting back together. I also would like to see more about Sonny and the other 2 guys. Clay is ok, but I watch for the rest of Bravo team. Maybe now that he's part of the team I'll like him better.… Expand

I did enjoy this show and I appreciate the interaction between characters and back story. I will continue to watch it but it didn't grab me the way I thought it would. But still a good show.

Though I love these kinds of action dramas, this one is brought to the ground by the wooden acting of its putative star, David Boreanaz. As a director myself, believe me this guy is hopeless. And to say that is for me to insult trees. He is awful: one-dimensional, non-expressive, and barelyThough I love these kinds of action dramas, this one is brought to the ground by the wooden acting of its putative star, David Boreanaz.

His CV on IMDB ain't exactly stellar!… Expand

I hoped this series would be more than a tired paean to the SEALS, but it is not. Tired, formulaic, and very loud. David Boreanaz is a likeable and talented actor, but this series is a stinker, notwithstanding.

This show created around a solid premise and interesting characters has gone to **** This season it seems to concentrate on Jason Hayes, the least interesting character of the lot. Pompous, head strong, heroesque, always the winner- ultimately all that we should not be venerating, this figure has taken over the episodes. It’s as if David Boreanaz bought into production rights and hired writers to dote on his dilemmas. Nor Interested. Too many other characters so much more interesting. Lost my interest and I have watched it from the beginning. Sorry CBS, you have made a winner a loser. I’m outta here.… Expand
