4 reasons to make SEAL Team your next Netflix binge-watch

We've got great news, Netflix fans. All seven seasons of SEAL Team have arrived on Netflix as part of a licensing deal with Paramount. The military drama aired its first four seasons on CBS and its remaining seasons on Paramount +.

Led by David Boreanaz, the series featured a talented cast, and it followed Bravo Team, the most elite unit of Navy SEALs. The series realistically depicted dangerous missions, highlighting the believable bonds within the team and the emotional stress it put on them and their loved ones.

I love military dramas, but I've only seen parts of SEAL Team because, like many other people, I can't afford every streamer. I'm excited to dive even more into this series because, from what I've watched, the cast was exceptional, the combat scenes touched me, and their K-9 companion stole the show. Here are four reasons SEAL Team is perfect for your next binge-watch!

1. David Boreanaz as Jason Hayes

David Boreanaz has been leading shows for years with his work on Angel and Bones, and SEAL Team lets him show how he's grown as an actor. He portrays the fearless leader, Jason Hayes, with vulnerability. Even as he leads his team into dangerous missions, he battles personal demons, and the series highlights the complexity of both sides authentically, making him a rootable character.

SEAL Team also explores Jason Hayes's personal life, including his strained marriage. Michaela McManus plays his wife, Alana. Fun fact -- Boreanaz and McManus are reuniting as romantic on-screen partners in 2027 on NBC's The Rockford Files, so this is the ideal opportunity to see what you think of the actors' chemistry.

2. SEAL Team includes authentic military details

SEAL Team differs from other military dramas because the series consulted former Navy SEALs Mark Owens and Mark Semos to help write the show, which helped make the combat and action sequences look realistic. It includes everything from briefings to battles and themes like counterterrorism, hostage situations, and undercover operations.

SEAL Team doesn't only focus on the action, though. It highlights the struggles these Navy SEALs deal with, such as PTSD, loss, father-figure absenteeism, and establishing a new role in their families' lives. It doesn't end when the war is over, and sometimes the constantly going in and out of their loved ones' lives is the hardest battle of all. The series is one of the few that showcases these issues and includes treatment for its soldiers.

3. The brotherhood was real

This cast is fabulous, and some of the team includes Max Thierot as Clay Spencer and A. J. Buckley as Sonny Quinn. So often, we complain because modern TV shows don't feature enough relationship dynamics. Well, SEAL Team features the brotherhood in spades. It's one of the main draws, and you can see the cast works well together.

This team connects, helping viewers invest quickly in both the missions and their personal lives. The team has undivided loyalty to each other on the field and off, making us feel every loss when one of them gets hit with heartbreak. They grow to become not just a unit, but a found family.

4. Their K-9, Cerberus, steals the show

Cererbus, whose actual name is Dita, serves as an essential member of the team and is loved by many fans. The dog is handled both on set and in real life by actor Justin Melnick, who portrays Brock Reynolds. Even when the Belgian Malinois figures out cool tricks like how to get into a house or detecting bombs, he's thrilling fans with his personality on social media.

The actors know it, and they were thrilled their furry friend got lots of love. If you love dogs, it's just another reason to watch. There are way more than four reasons to watch SEAL Team, but you'll have to binge the show to learn them all.
