Warning: Spoilers
Assessments to a U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. Team is not a one day thing, of doing a Basic Training Obstacle Course.

Typical Hollywood Screenwriters don't know the difference between a Biological Weapon GB (Sarin) and a Chemical Weapon VX (Nerve Agent) my previous Career Fields (Specialty Skill Identifiers, S.S.I., not M.o.S.) were Wheeled and Tracked Vehicle Maintenance Officer, Conventional Munitions plus E.O.D., Missiles, Nuclear (Weapons) Physics and Physiology, Chemical Munitions, Biological Warfare before becoming U.S. Army Special Forces Airborne Ranger again as later trained as U.S. Air Force Special Operations Wing, U.S.M.C. MARSOC., U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. as a Joint Special Operations Warfare Officer

Automatically paint U.S. Ally Syria a U.S. Ally since 1990, as the Enemy. When in Fact the Millions of Kurdistanis living U.S. And Russian Federation Ally Syria were NOT President Obama's "Syrian Rebels" because they were not even Syrian Citizens but were in Fact Allies of Osama Bin Laden, Al Quada, Millions of Holy Warriors of Islam as Muslim Terrorist Army (over 30 Million) Ansar Al Islam.

After President Obama lost Iraq to the Ally of Iran, the Millions of Iranians living at Iraq as the Shia of Iraq, as the "Democratically Elected" Government of Iraq, as outnumbering the Actual Iraqis, they KICKED THE U.S. OUT OF IRAQ as ordered by the Muslim Nation of Iran. The Millions of Kurdistanis living at U.S. Ally Syria then turned Traitor just like they turned Traitor and fought on the side of Iran during the Iran Iraq Wars, this time they started killing Unarmed Syrian Military, Unarmed Syrian Citizen National Guards, Unarmed Russian Federation Military, Unarmed Russian Federation Civilian Contractors Co Located at Syrian Military Bases, then the Millions of Kurdistanis located at Northern Iraq joined in the Attack against U.S. Ally Syria.

When the Syrian Military finally eliminated the Enemy Kurdistanis that had turned Traitor while Serving with the Syrian Military to get their Syrian Citizenship, the Syrian Military started to take back their Syrian Cities, Syrian Towns, the Kurdistanis had captured some Sarin from a Syrian Military Base and attempted to use the Sarin to stop the Syrian Military from retaking the Syrian City of Aleppo, being Kurdistanis (not very educated) released the Sarin and killed themselves and a herd of sheep.

At the Dining Facility, U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s do not eat McDonald's Happy Meal Kids sized meals, especially after Graduating from BUD/S as the normal amount of weight loss during BUD/S is 10 pounds to 20 pounds, During BUD/S Candidates are given minutes to eat, most BUD/S Candidates stack their plates full and try to eat as much as possible in minutes, looks like a professional hot dog eating contest.

Accurate procedures before the HALO insertion. A second U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. Team would be in another aircraft orbiting just in case something happened to the previous U.S.N. S.E.A.L. Team to make them Non Mission Capable.

Time Off to go to a Bar does not exist during the Selection Process. 2010 the term "Hate Crime" did not exist "Oh, come on even 2010 a guy gotta be able to buy a girl a drink without being considered a Hate Crime".

Inaccurate during the Special Reconnaissance of the U.S.N. S.E.A.L.s wearing the previous old Night Vision Devices two lumen tube, instead of the current four lumen tube Night Vision Devices so that they have Stereoscopic Vision (depth perception) and do not run into walls.

Dogs used during Operations, usually used by U.S. Army Special Forces, not U.S.N. S.E.A.L.s. usually Attack Dogs or silent command Sentry Dogs. When I worked U.S. Army Nuclear Weapons and Chemical Weapons, I learned the difference between Attack, Sentry, Guard Dogs from their Team Mates "Dog Handlers" that are bonded only to that one Dog, Dog Dies handler has no job, Handler dies dog is euthanized. An Attack Dog usually silently alerts (does not "bark") the Handler long before the Enemy is within visual, The Team then has tactical advantage.

During the Mission nobody switches from Night Vision to Visible Light, as the advantage of being able to see in darkness is a Tactical Advantage, switching to visible light means that the Enemy can shoot at the light(s) and Kill U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s.. Visible High Intensity Light also automatically shuts off Night Vision Devices, blinding the other U.S.N. S.E.A.L. Team Members.

After a Chemical Weapons "Sniffer" detects a Chemical Weapons Agent, they would put on Total Agent (T.A.P.) Protective Suits and Closed Circuit Rebreathers (standard Use by U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s), as most Chemical Weapons Agents are so caustic that a normal Biological and Chemical Weapons Protective Mask filters would be eaten up by the Chemical Weapons Agent(s).

Removal of Chemical Weapons Protective Masks, not going to happen, until after decontamination.

Touching anybody exposed to GB is enough for those in contact to receive a fatal dose even weeks later.

Decontamination process would take an hour for each.

Use of explosives to destroy Chemical Weapons Agents does not work, as real life U.S. Army General Schwarzkopf's destruction of the Iraqis Chemical Weapons Storage (Large) Depot at Khamisiyah only resulted in the contamination of over 100,000 U.S. Military and more than One Millions Iraqis Men, Women and Children.

Quarantine after this Mission would have been a minimum of 30 days. Everything they had would incinerated.

Oh Come On!

Okay, so this is a work of fiction and doesn't pretend to show how things really are....or does it? As a story, it's okay - if you don't mind the usual "US is all heart and lies/disobeys orders to show their humanity and rescue innocents" - but then why is the story all about real-ish places and real geo-political events?

We're expected to go along with the idea that it's okay for US forces to invade another country, take sides with extremists/jihadis against its legitimate government and butcher soldiers who are simply conscripts doing their best to defend their country against terrorists - and foreign aggressors like Uncle Sam.

Sorry, I only made it to Episode 2 of Series 1 - this kind of gung-ho and simplistic propaganda MAY appeal to juveniles and the none-too-bright among us but can't the writers produce something for the thinking grown-ups?
