While SEAL Team has earned itself to be a good new drama on CBS, it doesn’t stand alone from criticisms from individuals. It isn’t surprising that the show may take one stance over the other because of the subconscious of the writers producing the series. The show then gets a certain political view that some viewers might like or dislike. Amelia Hamilton, a contributing writer for News Busters, praises SEAL Team for “starting to become a reliably pro-American, pro-military show in a television landscape that doesn’t give us much to enjoy.” She continues to dissect the October 25th episode, “Collapse,” and how on numerous occasions the show begins to turn pro-American, pro-military. While, this idea is great for reaching another political demographic that might not agree with seemingly progressive Hollywood ideals, this also alienates some viewers. With three military themed dramas in the air waves, it seems that the military theme has gained popularity.

Looking at ratings, for the October 25th episode, SEAL Team had 6.92 million viewers and a 1.0 rating for Adults 18-49. These are both decreases from the previous week. SEAL Team also still has been unable to capture viewers from its lead-in, Survivor.
