While SEAL Team is very good with its combat scenes and the staging that goes with them, its interpersonal drama is a problem. The dialogue is particularly unfortunate when it comes to the wives and girlfriends, though the women in combat (including Trucks and Paré) have managed to escape the clunky and stilted scripting. Ultimately, the show manages to eke out some good drama during the missions themselves, broaching a variety of moral quandaries and exploring how to work the system while still remaining inside of it.
-
A serviceable entry in the growing canon of troops-on-the-ground TV shows, surpassing NBC’s entry “The Brave” and adding just enough visual flair and human connection to make David Boreanaz fans happy.
-
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.
-
I think many viewers will be prepared to follow Boreanaz and his team into weekly skirmishes. I won't, but I was able to appreciate how competently SEAL Team does its job.
-
It’s similar to History’s “Six,” which aired earlier this year, as well as CBS’s own 2006-09 show “The Unit.”
-
It feels to me like CBS wanted a military heroism series, and the producers provided one, and here it is.
-
[Seal Team] does an acceptable job with a cliché-ridden formula.
-
Just don’t expect much more than Boreanaz’s command presence in Seal Team. You’ll see where it’s going long before it gets there, no matter how far off the missions might be.

Virile but vulnerable team leader? Check. Young, talented but wild team member? Check. Prim civilian female supervisor concealing a smokin' hot body under her power pants suit, possibly to be deployed at any moment? Check. Team-wide ability to shoot 12,000 Muslim hordes with seven bullets? Check.
-
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.
