I hadn't heard of this, but learned it had been a TV series starting in 2014 and ran for five seasons. My sister recommended it to me. I watched the first two episodes last night. Pretty far-fetched and corny, but lots of action.
Any opinions on it overall?

I’ve also only recently started this one on Netflix; I’m maybe 3 episodes in.
It’s pretty fast-paced but enjoyable to me.
I wouldn’t mind a bit of a slow-down on the pacing, but as this one was on TNT originally vs. today’s streaming services, maybe that explains the tempo.
I’m also watching “new-to-me” series “Southland” (also on Netflix) that tends to move quickly - I like the show, but it’s another one that had network origins.

I started watching it back when originally aired. Lost interest around season 2 as well. Starts sort of strong but quickly gets lost.

Some seasons were better than others, as they ran out of new ideas in one of the middle seasons. I don't remember which, but I did think the last season was good.

I watched it a few years back. I think I made it 2-3 ep into season 3.

Yeah the writers of the show went to the Captain Kirk School of Leadership instead of anything the real Navy teaches. After Season 2 there's less and less on the actual ship and more rebuilding the US on shore.

I thought the first 3 seasons were the best, but then it went off the rails in the last two. It was pretty ridiculous when the 5'4" female LT would kick the asses of men on their "commando raids."
