TV show description:
Based on ABC‘s 1970s TV series and the 2003 feature film of the same name, the SWAT TV show on CBS is a police action drama centering on Sergeant Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson (Moore). A lifetime Los Angeles local and former Marine, Hondo has been tapped to lead a new “last stop” Special Weapons and Tactics unit.
Because he is L.A.-born and raised, Hondo feels intensely loyal to his “brothers in blue” and the people they serve. This makes him exceptionally qualified to lead the team and build a bridge between the force and the community.
David “Deacon” Kay (Harrington) is a seasoned, competent officer. Although he can’t help but feel overlooked for the top job, he is extremely loyal and committed to the team’s success. On the other hand, newcomer Jim Street (Russell) tends to be overconfident. Still, he has the potential to become a key player.
Hondo’s tactical unit also includes canine trainer Christina “Chris” Alonso (Esco), a skilled officer in her own right. Then there is Dominique Luca (Johnson), whose driving expertise ensures the team is able to get into and out of risky scenarios.
L.A. Metro Captain Jessica Cortez (Sigman), whose profession is her top priority, supervises the SWAT team. She and Hondo also have a personal relationship.
Finally, there’s Mumford (Onorati). Bold and self-assured, he heads up another L.A. unit and is certain of his own approach to situations. Although his group and Hondo’s are fierce rivals, they relish their competition.
With Hondo at the lead, the SWAT officers are devoted to their jobs and are willing to lay down their lives to protect and serve.

What do you think? Do you like the SWAT TV series? Should this TV show be cancelled or renewed for another season on CBS?
we love watching swat and seal team
I love SWAT praying they bring it back on air. It’s really the only show I watch.
We like to watch SWAT and hope it is continued for another season. We like the human element to it. Thanks
I was one that was very excited to see they brought SWAT back I watched the 1st ever SWAT when I was a young girl, and I really liked it when it first come on I love all the characters but Hondo has gotta light up on the racial attitude or undertones what ever you would like to call it. There’s enough trouble in this world with profiling and Cop killings to hear it on TV like the episode where the white cop pulled him over in the 2nd season he had already gotten all puffed up before he every… Read more »
One other point. The police tactics portrayed in SWAT are very unrealistic. As a retired LEO you would never find a marked vehicle pull right up in front of an armed hostage situation home. Many kids who follow this series will likely attempt to be sworn officers. Whoever is being paid to assist in providing realism is being paid too much. At times I admit I don’t know whether to laugh or cry it is so unrealistic. SWAT is not in my top 10 cop action series. As I previously wrote, I won’t be watching it any more anyway.
I have watched SWAT since the beginning and tonight, 12/11/2019, is our last time. Shemar Moore is an extremely poor actor. He always sounds as if he is reading a script while shooting is being done. His non verbal acting isn’t much better. Every actor on this program is a better actor than Shemar. In his previous series, Criminal Minds, he was surrounded by so many great actors that his poor acting skills were not so noticeable or he didn’t draw so much negative attention due to himself. I will make it a point to not support the advertisers.
I want more episodes of swat because I watch it before I go to bed
SWAT is becoming a soap opera. Heavy on family, light on action.
Love this show and the cast. I would be very upset if it was canceled.
Renew please
swat is the best.
Love, love, love this Swat Series; please keep it in the air.
Think swat should be renewed. Family looks forward to every episode.
Love this show
Swat is one of my police drama show. Please renew season 3.
