Obviously no show is perfect depicting how the military does things and Hollywood is going to do it's own thing, but come on. The whole engagement between the Burke and the Russian Frigate didn't make sense.
The Burke launches an SM-6 to destroy the incoming anti-ship missile but for some reason it does a full circle around the ship. Over the course of 8-10 seconds it barely gets a 100 yards of the bow of the Burke. Do the writers know how fast those move? Then the Russian captain says it was a part of his plan to lower the defenses... because somehow the American CIWS needs to reload even though it wasn't even used, since the loopy loop missile barely saved the Burke's bridge. Let's say for a moment the CIWS does need to reload... the Burke has more missiles and other weapons... I get we are used to Russians (in this case traitorous ones) being the bad guys, but you don't have to give them the tactical mind of an over-caffeinated 12 year-old going into his 6th hour of Fortnite. They could actually be a semi-intelligent naval officer. You know, a worthy opponent?
The frustration stems from the fact that the whole thing could have been cool based in reality, because ships, and missiles, and explosions are fun to watch. But instead it was just a weird sequence with no tension because we knew what was gonna happen anyways.
I liked how it ended for that defense minister though. Still enjoyed the season overall.
