S.W.A.T. (US Pace) [**Spoilers**]

Agent Coulson

First Look.

Inspired by the television series and feature film, S.W.A.T. stars Shemar Moore as a locally born S.W.A.T. sergeant newly tasked to run a specialized tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles. Torn between loyalty to the streets where he was raised and allegiance to his brothers in blue, former Marine Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson (Moore) has everything it takes to successfully bridge the divide between his two worlds and excel at leading his dedicated team of brave men and women as they risk their lives to protect the community. Aaron Thomas, Shawn Ryan, Justin Lin, Neal Moritz, Marney Hochman, Danielle Woodrow and Pavun Shetty are executive producers for Sony Pictures Television in association with CBS Television Studios. Lin directed the pilot.

S.W.A.T. stars Shemar Moore as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, Stephanie Sigman as Jessica Cortez, Alex Russell as Jim Street, Jay Harrington as David “Deacon” Kay, Lina Esco as Christina “Chris” Alonso, Kenny Johnson as Dominique Luca and Peter Onorati as Mumford.

Agent Coulson

Started last night and it is a CBS show no doubt and will fit in well with their other shows Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, MacGyver, NCIS's etc etc.

Slippin Jimmy

The trailer looks good. I'll be giving this a watch over the weekend.

Mr E

Decent. Started off fairly generic but I liked where it went. I'll watch some more.

Agent Coulson

A very good episode this set in a prison during a riot.

Mr E

Fantastic episode this week. Great action (and acting), very tense and shows how fu**ed up the gun culture is in the States at the moment.

Agent Coulson

That was a seriously powerful 45 minutes of TV.

Mr E

Into season 3, how is this thread only 7 posts?

Good start to the season... the family stuff is a bit dry though.

This show should be my fav right now, loved stuff like The Shield and The Unit...but I stopped after season 1 of this. I have no idea why but it seems a bit too cookie cutter to be honest - weekly drama, resolved within the 60 mins and a small few threads carrying through. Same thing happened with SEAL Team but as I understand it they have most of the same production crew.

Yeah, it’s mad that after two seasons there is less than ten posts in this thread.

Agent Coulson

Really cool episode last night that was filmed in Japan.

With a ****ing Sons reunion, oh hell yeah

Agent Coulson

S.W.A.T was back with a double episode that covered BLM's Covid-19 & China Virus.

JP Liz V1

SWAT star Shemar Moore has tested positive for COVID19

Agent Coulson

Renewed for a 5th season.

Clareman

I had forgotten complelty about this, 1 for the summer when everything is on break I guess

JP Liz V1

4th season starts on Sky One on Sunday May 30th at 10pm

Agent Coulson

The Shield is in the same Universe as this.


Steve Billings was in this weeks episode

_Kaiser_

This is one I keep meaning to check out as I liked the movie a lot. Worth getting into then?

Is it actually Billings? The Shield is one of my top 3 shows.

EoinMcLovin

Just noticed that the first 2 seasons are on Netflix for anybody interested

California Dreamer

This season is starting to go down hill for me. Its getting very preachy!

is_that_so

A lot of shows have been like that this season, some almost every episode and often heavily trowelled on.

Agent Coulson

Call me Hondo!

Cowboy Hondo going up against the Irish in South America.

OmegaGene

That was a very good opening episode, looking forward to part 2

Mr E

Yeah that was great. I think the cavalry will show up at exactly the right time though....

OmegaGene

Can he call on the team when he’s in Mexico ? An off the books job maybe

I assumed he was going to go all terminator on the bad guys

California Dreamer

Decent 2 parter to start the season and nice to see Luca back on the show full time.

The addition of Kerry actor (and best known for playing Russians) Tim V Murphy was a nice addition. Although his characters son was an American with an Irish accent was a bit rough.

OmegaGene

Hondo is back with the squad, I didn’t like the new 20david from the start and the ending revealed why, should make an interesting in house battle over the series

EoinMcLovin

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118031416#Comment_118031416

Yeah it will make this season interesting but I just find it laughable that they have it that

Spoiler Warning

the Police Commissioner's office hire somebody to lead a SWAT team with the purpose of forcing somebody out just to save face

Agent Coulson

Cracking episode this week.

OmegaGene

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118413256#Comment_118413256

it was certainly different but the mexicans didnt put up much of a fight

Mr E

That story had the potential for a great multi-episode arc. Instead they resolved it so fast that I got whiplash.

Shame! Good episode though, all the same...

Agent Coulson

Yeah very rushed as you say that could have been a great multi episode arc.

Agent Coulson

Wow Ryan Hurst does not look healthy at all I hope he is ok.

OmegaGene

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118974795#Comment_118974795

he was in hospital recently and other celebs have been sending him get well messages, one said they are glad he is alive he has lots of living to do

JP Liz V1

So Chris and Street finally get together and she leaves, broke up for renewed season 6?

Agent Coulson

Well they like to travel and film abroad for episodes

Last season it was South America the season before it was Japan and now it's Thailand.

Sean Maguire has done really well for himself in the States consistantly working on TV there for the last 20 years

OmegaGene

Well Thailand looks nice, Sean Maguire has gone from Grange Hill to swat 👍🏻

JP Liz V1

CBS has cancelled

cena

That sucks

markc1184

I wonder if another network, or a steamer might perhaps pick it up? I do enjoy SWAT so will be disappointed if this is the end of it.

Good news, CBS have uncancelled it and renewed it for final season with 13 episodes

https://tvline.com/2023/05/08/swat-renewed-season-7-final-episodes-uncancelled-cbs/

Agent Coulson

Well they are making sure the cast all have endings to their stories before the series finishes.

Agent Coulson

One by one the team are getting their own farewell episode

JP Liz V1

Will any OGs be left for the final episode 😄

Mr E

Hondo will be going out on a solo mission for the finale. 😂

Good one this week though. Bittersweet ending for Luca.

EoinMcLovin

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121995162#Comment_121995162

I think the rest will be there. The actors for Street and Luca were only brought back as Guest Stars for this season

JP Liz V1

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121998259#Comment_121998259

I thought we might end with Chris and Jim Street's wedding, hoping anyways

markc1184

Uncancelled again. Will be interesting to see where it goes from here considering how it looked to be a farewell for everyone.

Agent Coulson

Well would have been a decent series finale.

I can see it getting cancelled next season now on a cliffhanger.

Mr E

Agreed. That was more high stakes than usual, with a decent emotional climax.

I don't think they've done too many season cliffhangers though.
