Season 1
🎬 22 Episodes 📅 2017 ⏱ 42 min
A decorated S.W.A.T. sergeant returns to the South Los Angeles neighborhood where he was raised to command an elite tactical unit—only to find himself trapped between two irreconcilable worlds. The streets that forged him see police as adversaries, while his brothers in blue demand unwavering loyalty to the badge. With every operation, his authority fractures under the weight of impossible choices, forcing him to navigate a dangerous line where trust is currency and betrayal lurks on both sides. Command becomes less about stopping criminals and more about surviving the contradiction of being both cop and son of the streets.
