What do you think? Have you been watching Six, season one? Do you plan to tune in for season two of this History TV show?
Great Series. I could know about seals, how they work, fight and plan. In india it is been telecast every sat-sun on history channel. Tomorrow will be its last episode. Having great fun watching it. Dont know it is based on a real story or not. But i love watching this.
Can’t wait for season 2 !!!!
Can’t wait for Season 2.
Just finished season 1, not sure what all the hate is about, I thought it was great! Ya, I’ll be watching for season 2 for sure
When will season 2 begin? Anxious to get started on season 2.
Love the show, please do not destroy it with sex scenes. These are unnecessary for a show like this.
We all loved the season one of SIX and can not wait for the next season. Please renew.
Being a Marine veteran myself, love this show. Also being a VA Beach local, I got to meet a few of these heroic hero’s. I also did have the honor of being a friend to Ryan Owens. And also a few other on the TEAM. Its truly a Brotherhood that drive each an Everyone of them.
Hi John, I’m just curious how accurate this show depicts the Seals team, (that you know of). Do they really go home that often, it seemed in the show they were home more often then say, a regular soldier stationed over seas. Also, I found it interesting that although I realize they cannot discuss their missions with family and public, are they not able to tell people they are SEALS? If yes then what do they say they do for a living and how do they explain their absences? Interesting, as many soldiers “look” the part, (I.e. Great shape, buzz… Read more »
love it keep it up
Loved, loved, loved this show. Can’t wait till it returns…Soon I hope !
I LOVE this show.. And i can’t wait for season 2!!!…
He’ll yes
Really enjoyed season. Very very much hoping that there will be a season 2. Outing show. Hope Rip will return also. Please don’t cancel this great show.
Why are the navy seals not given the same training as the ASA from Britain. I have looked at there training on the History Channel and they train with the Mi5 and Mi6 as required training to operator in any situation that is needed to complete there mission. …?
Great show I’m ready for season 2 to start now April 2017. I hope Rip survived, it’s just wrong after all he’s been through just to be killed when he returns home to the United States of America. America needs to do more to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks.we need to do what they did in America during WW1.
Ran across it by accident, no I am in love.
Just binge watch all the way when Rip gets shot, by the woman from Detroit . Is there more??? Please tell me this is not the end.
Coming from a Army Combat Engineer and a Weapon Specialist, I love this show! It’s accurate on emotions, combat, coming home, and the comradery with this SEAL Team. I can’t wait for Season 2 to get here! I have a good friend who was a SEAL in the late 80’s and 90’s and he’s told me that this show is top notch. Thank you History Channel for such a wonderful show!
