‘SEAL Team’ Season 5 Examines the Effects of Years of Combat on Jason Hayes
Fall Preview
Stamp this file top secret: The military drama opens with a black-ops assignment “in the most fortified country in the world,” says SEAL Team exec producer Spencer Hudnut. “If we’re even discovered, it will set off an international incident.”
This is the first of many bold missions, but folded into Season 5 is something more personal. “We examine what years of combat in the War on Terror has done to [soldiers],” he says. For Bravo 1, Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz), the result has been debilitating headaches. “Jason keeps an eye on this situation to make sure he’s able to operate,” adds Hudnut.
He needs all his wits in Episode 4, SEAL Team’s last on CBS before moving to Paramount+. The unit is in Burkina Faso after a large-scale terrorist attack, and a cliffhanger aims to lure viewers to the streamer.
Says Hudnut of the switch, “It’s the same show. The language might be a little saltier, as it probably would be when people are shooting at you.”

yep, not paying to make the move. Now, I may wait until the full season is complete, then subscribe for one month and binge-watch and then cancel.
But I have to say that the line they are touting to tease the season, “We examine what years of combat in the War on Terror has done to [soldiers],” is nothing new, as they have been doing this the whole time, although the will he/won’t he retire Jason story is getting a little old. I get it but it’s gone on for several seasons now, so I’m hoping the headache aspect of this story isn’t just another will he/won’t he retire storyline.
I will just have to wait until next spring or later to find out, maybe.

Still have to pay for internet that is capable of streaming without data limits, which is not a given in many areas.

Plenty of people use an antenna because they don't pay for cable/satellite. There are also a lot of people who don't have access to internet capable of streaming HD shows like this on Paramount+ and other apps.
