Season 1, Episode 10 – An action packed hour with some shocking moments, S.W.A.T. also found time to flesh out some of its side-characters this week

Season 2, Episodes 1-2 – The show’s second season starts fresh with a mostly new cast and a different tone, and while it is better than Season 1 it is still easily forgettable television.
Season 1, Episode 10 – The Brave is back with a high-stakes emotional episode that promises a solid second half of its first season.
Season 1, Episode 9 – The return of S.W.A.T. gives us a run-of-the-mill procedural story, but is highlighted by interesting character development.
Season 1, Episode 8 – The mission of the week plays out predictably this episode, and groundwork for a potentially interesting new character relationship is set up for when the season returns
Season 1, Episode 6 – The short dark comedy comes to a close with its sixth and final episode, and the note it goes out on is: “Meh.”
Season 1, Episode 12 – The episode is highlighted by a guest appearance by the talented Fred Willard, but isn’t enough to make this comedy memorable.
Season 2, Episode 10 – A “shocking” twist ending is not enough to pull this first half of the second season out of its sophomore slump.
Season 1, Episode 11 – Josh’s parents show up to the set of his new acting gig and Andrew tries to learn to dance, and neither story is compelling or funny.
Season 1, Episode 5 – The show no longer feels grounded and its characters do not feel like real people, leaving little hope for a redeeming finale next week.
Season 1, Episode 6 – One of S.W.A.T.’s own is kidnapped and a character we haven’t seen since the pilot drops in, for a fun but unevenly paced episode
Season 2, Episode 9 – The episode brought mostly inconsequential filler, with one major twist at the end that could be huge (or nothing).
Season 1, Episode 4 – The show takes a jarring and dark turn that feels a bit rushed.
Season 1, Episode 10 – Another forgettable episode, although doorman Nick sneaks in a few genuinely funny moments.
Season 1, Episode 5 – Hondo and the team face a team of home invaders dressed as S.W.A.T., but the episode never delivers on that premise.
Season 2, Episode 8 – Kirkman travels to Afghanistan in secret in an interesting episode, but it feels like a stall until the mid-season finale.
Season 1, Episode 3 – Joel and Tess try to cover their tracks while Charlie and Nadia get intimate.
Season 1, Episode 9 – The same joke told over and over again unsurprisingly is getting old.
Season 1, Episode 4 – The majority of the S.W.A.T. team takes the back seat as Hondo steps up and owns this intense episode
Season 1, Episode 2 – The show gets decidedly darker and more gruesome in its second installment.
Season 1, Episode 9 – The thrilling fall finale keeps you on the edge of your seat and packs a surprising emotional punch.
Season 1, Episode 8 – There is very little to be thankful for in this not so special Thanksgiving episode.
Seaosn 1, Episode 3 – The mission of the week has S.W.A.T. hunting down drug dealers and missing people, while Street deals with his imprisoned mother
Season 2, Episode 7 – The entire Kirkman clan is in hot water this week as several storylines come to a head.
Season 1, Episode 8 – With its final episode, the series ultimately fails to wow.
Season 1, Episode 8 – Another episode filled with thrilling action sequences and surprising moments as the team goes off the grid in Mongolia.
Season 1, Episode 1 – The first episode of Showtime’s new dark comedy seems to meander but brings it home in the last moments with an intriguing set-up.
Season 1, Episode 7 – Another half hour of mostly tired jokes with a few moments rising to mediocre.
Season 1, Episode 2 – Two episodes in, this show is popcorn television, and it’s done well enough that it’s fun to watch, but safe bet it won’t be taking home any Emmy’s next year.
Season 1, Episode 7 – The penultimate episode of the season feels a bit all over the place when it should be focusing on the point of it all.
