What is ‘S.W.A.T.’ about?
According to the show’s synopsis, “Daniel ‘Hondo’ Harrelson, a Los Angeles S.W.A.T. lieutenant, 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. Hondo encourages his team to rely on communication and respect over force and aggression, but when a crisis erupts, these unflinching men and women are prepared to put their tactical training to the test.”
In tonight’s episode, Season 8, Episode 9, “Open Season,” “When Hondo learns there’s a $1 million bounty on his head, 20-Squad must race to uncover the mysterious enemy from Hondo’s past who’s intent on revenge; Deacon and Tan butt heads over Tan’s changes to SWAT academy.”
