Season 1 Review: Although it tries to carve out its own space, the series can’t really make itself something more than a standard cop show. It's a lesser rehash of the 1970s TV series and 2003 film, despite an exceedingly appealing star. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Of course every character is a cardboard cutout of a human being. The job of the show is to solve difficult problems in an easily understood way for the masses who are otherwise cooking dinner or checking their email. Complexity and shades of gray just get in the way. It's hard for the fellas to take care of business if you muck up the lines between good and bad. Read full review

Season 1 Review: S.W.A.T. is the most vapid, rah-rah ridiculous kind of cop show imaginable—a superhero fantasy that takes place in a Los Angeles populated by mustache-twirling villains and gorgeous, perfect-in-spite-of-their-flaws cops. Read full review

Season 1 Review: S.W.A.T, on the other hand, is nothing but action figures, and when the characters do speak, they sound so moronic you may as well watch the show with the sound off. Read full review
