Military Drama 'SEAL Team,' 'Valor' and 'The Brave': Which Show Is Worth Watching and Following? [VIDEOS]
This fall, network television will showcase three military drama series. "SEAL Team" on CBS, "Valor" on The CW and "The Brave" on NBC will focus on the servicemen but which show will be worth watching and what will viewers follow more?
Showrunners told The Wrap that the trend towards military drama might have been coincidental since network executives did not notice the similarities until the Television Critics Association summer press tour last July.
Variety, however, surmised that the proliferation of such stories on TV is the result of Donald Trump's ascent into the presidency. Allegedly, military heroism became a theme for voters who supported the U.S. leader and the networks wanted to deliver something that this audience might want to watch.

First up will be NBC's "The Brave," which will premiere on Monday, Sept. 25, at 10 p.m. EDT. The show stars Mike Vogel as Commander Michael Dalton and Anne Heche as Intelligence Director Patricia Campbell.
The story will center on a special operations team with elite skills as undercover agents. "The Brave" will be more of an espionage drama than combat-centric.
Currently, the show has a following of fewer than 20,000 users on Facebook and less than a thousand on Twitter.
