The verdict
S.W.A.T. has pulled the kind of numbers most English series never see. It holds an 8.0/10 on TMDB from 1,606 ratings, well above the typical run of new releases. In the UK you can stream it on Netflix, Now TV, Sony Pictures Core Amazon Channel.
Is it worth starting?
This is 8 seasons deep — English crime with an action & adventure streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- Currently 8.0/10 from 1,606 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
A Los Angeles S.W.A.T. sergeant is assigned to lead a highly skilled unit in the community where he grew up. Torn between loyalty to the streets, where the cops are sometimes the enemy, and allegiance to his brothers in blue, he strategically straddles the two worlds.
