2. S.W.A.T.

S.W.A.T. apparently refuses to die. For eight seasons, Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson and 20-Squad protected Los Angeles through dangerous missions, changing teams, character departures and, somehow, more than one cancellation. Now the original series is over. But Hondo's story isn't. In Episode 2 of Ultimate Mayhem, we're looking back at what made S.W.A.T. work, why the chemistry of 20-Squad became such an important part of the series, the departures of familiar faces like Street, Luca and Chris, and the absolutely ridiculous journey that saw the show cancelled, saved, given a final season, renewed again and eventually cancelled for real. Then we're looking ahead to S.W.A.T. Exiles. Hondo is back, but 20-Squad isn't. Instead, he's being asked to lead a new generation of recruits and somehow turn them into a team. With familiar faces including Deacon, Hicks and Tan also returning, the question isn't whether S.W.A.T. can survive another cancellation. It's whether it can survive becoming something different. From 20-Squad to Exiles, this is the story of the show that apparently wouldn't die. Welcome to Ultimate Mayhem. The mayhem continues. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
