So not what SWAT do . I know it's fiction but unless the audience are a bunch of 5yo aliens it's too unbelievable to be entertaining. Hondo taking a kill shot in split seconds in the opening scenes makes the real guys look like jokers . SWAT team now investigating team too? American shows should really take a leaf from UK/Europe on how to make a convincing show.
Stopped watching after 30mins. Sad!

...which made the crash so much harsher.I powered through until the end, giving it the benefit of the doubt until the final episode.I know this is a TV-show and there are bound to be creative liberties. But, the network has pushed that to the extent of...calling a show 'Mexico' but really making it about Brazil. 'SWAT' stands for 'Special Weapons and Tactics'. In this show, the 'special' is more akin to 'special-ed' than it is to 'special forces'. Don't even get me started on the acting or believability of the acting...that was also 'special'.Speeding and wheelie-ing a motorcycle through an intersection, jumping over cars, shooting from a hovering helicopter, running through a truck filled with explosives...they should have just called this show 'Call of Duty'. Honestly, where are the tactics?! I've seen a few reviews stating that this is meant as entertainment, which is true, but where is it?Script: Poor
Believability: Poor
Character Interaction: Wooden (at best!)
Acting Overall: AbysmalI don't care for the SJW movement or blah-blah-blah, but at least make the script and acting good. If you are going to make a show about police officers (detectives, K-9, or in this case, SWAT) then train your people. Hire people that can point out inconsistencies. No one makes a medical show where doctors go, 'hand me the plastic tube filled the the clear medicine-thingy!' or holds a scalpel by the wrong end, or mistakes the IV bag of a juice box.All of that may be over-reaching, but...I think it proves the point on how this TV-show doesn't really care because no one cares that police officers or SWAT is being portrayed incorrectly.I have really high hopes for this show because I liked Moore in Criminal Minds and I didn't hate the movie. However...this show...it's the Halle Berry of Catwomen...
