    Why do I think that half the time I'm watching auditions instead of a tv show? The acting is really horrible by some of these actors. I totally agree with the description of 'wooden' performances. D. Boreanz is definitely the wrong choice for the lead position in this series imho.

    An hour long U.S. military infomercial. I hope the U.S. Navy is contributing to this program, because I cannot understand why is is on television. Please make it stop.

    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.

    The most pandering you'll see on TV elsewhere of fox News. Stuff like this is actively contributing to the dumbing down of the United States.

    Of the special forces plot based shows out there this is not my first choice. The few action scenes are pretty good, but all of the talking, conflicts between characters and personal angst are over the top and hard to watch. I struggle to keep paying attention during these times, which is the majority of each episode. It’s almost like the writers are pretending to write an action show butOf the special forces plot based shows out there this is not my first choice. The few action scenes are pretty good, but all of the talking, conflicts between characters and personal angst are over the top and hard to watch. I struggle to keep paying attention during these times, which is the majority of each episode. It’s almost like the writers are pretending to write an action show but at the same time don’t much care for the characters they are working with and make certain we see them as somewhat broken and pathetic people. I’m certain they would say they are trying to show the “human” side of the characters, I think the soap opera-ish side they are trying to show is not accurate and in ways an insult to these heroes. CBS was premature in doing a full season pickup for this show - it wasn’t worth saving, let alone renewing!

    Addendum:
    While the team is deployed, the action scenes come more often, which helps the show. The plot is still moving at a snail’s pace, which does not help. Still on life support as far as I’m concerned. I see CBS has renewed this show. Guess they didn’t think they had anything better in development. Sad.    … Expand

    Hey no thanks CBS and Moonves! If I want to watch the greatest film about SEALS ever, I'll just rent the Viggo Mortenson/Demi Moore one in the 90s, or there have been a couple of others----but never this cocky, hubristic drivel about robotic military characters as these.

    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    Seal team

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
