Our super secret "D-Boys" are walking around with their faces exposed and then the team leader doesn't even suit up. Next, they seem not to have the CQB resources of the old SWAT tv show. NO ONE would assault a crowded plane with shotguns, not to mention the leader entering solo, w/ a handgun. This is the usual pay the prop guy or pay the actors,situation. A dozen guys in grey flight suits and balaclavas, w/MP5SDs and flashbang grenades is the Textbook Op. And these guys would have been FBI! The show has some good points, like whats gonna happen to the commander when his men let alone the husband finds out he's bangin a team members wife. That happened only once back in my day, and the banger got gangbanged, if you know what I mean. We protect our own. In a nutshell we have what they call a chick's action flick on TV. Like Proof of Life. The guy gets to see shootouts and explosions while the girl gets romance,and betrayal, everyone happy. I'm hoping it will improve but I think i'm going back to my old standby WANTED on TNT.

And will it tackle the deception, lies and propaganda of our current enemy? ok, two questions, ;-) I seriously hope its good, because CBS news tried to single handedly change the outcome of an election. And recently 48 did a graphic hit job for their own purposes and now they've manipulated poll numbers. It pains me I must support them in any way, but I will support the show if its truly balanced.
