A drama following a special weapons and tactics team in Los Angeles.
Former Marine Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson is a locally-born sergeant who was recently tasked with running a specialized tactical unit that acts as the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles. Raised on the streets, he is torn between his loyalty to his roots and his allegiance to his new brothers in blue as he works to bridge the divide between his two worlds.

CBS is absolutely run by idiots, they have no clue what it is to have a successful show on their network they don’t develop very few shows. Papa‘s house was a good show canceled. SwaT is a decent show. Perfect for Friday night CBS is inept not sure who’s running that network but whoever it is, they should probably replace them as soon as possible

Well, SWAT
You were bound to be cancelled eventually. You had everything going for you — a solid reboot of a classic ’70s show, that iconic theme tune, a strong cast, and a promising premise. But you couldn’t help yourself.
Instead of sticking with the action-packed, team-based stories people tuned in for, you veered hard into activist territory. Every episode started to feel like a lecture — from white privilege to religious virtue signaling. You fell right into the trap of pushing a narrative that reflects the loudest activists, not the broader audience.
Just because some make their careers sowing division doesn’t mean the rest of us want to be force-fed it in our entertainment. People watch shows like SWAT to escape, not to be reminded of the worst parts of the news cycle.
You had the chance to give us stories about Special Weapons and Tactics — not special messaging and tired ideological guilt. Instead, the writing became weighed down by “the message,” and good storytelling got lost in the noise.
You could have had it all — but you chose mediocrity. And that, more than anything, is why the audience walked away.

8 seasons is a huge achievement in todays tv scene. The original ran for one or so. It was cancelled because of protests about violence on tv though .

I LOVE this show Hondo and the hole crew! But this season they are spoiling it with a lot of political propaganda. Just deleted season four episode eight and all future recordings. Only white racists wear the American flag etc. etc.? I don't need Hollywood to preach to me. You are dead on - they are creating division (us vs. them) and will lead to an increase in racism.

We pay for these shows. If we want to whinge, we will whinge. It's not a fact of just not watching it. We all want to get our moneys worth. We all work our a$$es of for our money. It's our right to whinge

There is a simple solution for all the whining and complaining commenters: Don't like it? Don't watch it!!

The final show of the season did a fair job of making up for it's un-constitutional left wing bias. Pointed out what a scumbag Joe Biden truly is, by pointing out the damage his stupid Afghanistan policies have done. And, not just his stupid pullout. But including the Biden State Department's unwillingness to fullfil our promises to people who helped us!!

I think the show is still a good show. The show is only staying current .
