Nov 2, 2017Just when the major networks are stepping up their game along comes S.W.A.T. Keystone cops on steroids. Great action scenes ruined by poor writing and a comical story line. Watching the team follow Shamar in unison around the hood, desperately trying to score a lead was painful. Hopefully future episodes are a little more intelligent and realistic.
Awards & Rankings
-
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.
-
A show that at times awkwardly seeks to contemporize and contextualize the material while still offering basic thrills of the busting-down-doors variety.
-
With its characters at once thin and broad; its L.A. backdrop; and its mix of existential philosophizing, social commentary and corny representations of hot-button issues, “S.W.A.T.” also recalls and has some of the appeal of Jack Webb’s classic "Dragnet," but with a more progressive outlook and a sprinkling of sex scenes.
