SIX (2017–2018)

History Channel said “hold my beer” to every glossy SEAL show and dropped a gritty, gut-punch drama that smells like gunpowder and bad decisions. Walton Goggins owns the screen as Rip Taggart, the haunted Team Six leader who goes rogue in Season 1 to rescue his old commander (Dominic Adams) from a Taliban nightmare. Season 2? Straight into the heart of an American terrorist cell led by the chilling “Prince” (Nikolai Nikolaeff)—think homegrown jihad meets cartel cash, with the team hunting ghosts on their own soil.

Barry Sloane’s Bear Graves wrestles PTSD like it’s a live grenade, Joe Manganiello’s Fish is the quiet knife you don’t see coming, and the whole squad—Edwin Hodge, Juan Pablo Raba, Kyle Schmid, Jaylen Moore—bleeds brotherhood. No superheroes here: just broken men making impossible calls, wives holding the home front together, and moral lines that vanish in the dust. The firefights are raw, the politics are ugly, and the quiet moments (a kid’s birthday party, a hospital hallway) hit harder than any explosion.

Two seasons, sixteen episodes, zero filler. It got cancelled way too soon, but it went out swinging. If you miss the golden era of military thrillers that don’t pull punches, binge this beast tonight.
