Everything around them is either a cliché or an entry-level Scooby-Doo mystery, and when it strives for more, it falls even flatter. Shawn Ryan's brain and Shemar Moore's abs deserve better.

For many viewers, S.W.A.T. will be the very definition of comfort television; you know who you are, and have at it.

S.W.A.T. is a show that comes to the airwaves fully formed. It's a procedural, but more in the way of Hawaii Five-0 than N.C.I.S.

Like any number of slickly made CBS procedurals, S.W.A.T. delivers on the thrill ride.

[It's a] perfectly serviceable [form] of escapism that should hit that NCIS sweet spot for people who like shows anchored by tough guys who are just vulnerable enough partnered with vulnerable guys who are just tough enough.

The pilot ... leans into current events with an accidental police shooting of an unarmed black teen at the top of the show's first episode and the ensuing political fallout, which gives S.W.A.T. more credibility than expected.
November 02, 2017
A rebooting of the 1975-76 police celebration of the same name, the new S.W.A.T. has become something other than a cops-versus-bad-guys drama. Now it's an hour spent in awe of its star, Shemar Moore.

... justice again is served simply and unadorned, like a basic Banquet TV dinner.

Give them credit for trying a different take on cop shows, but S.W.A.T. simply falls flat in every conceivable way.
