by

Despite being canceled a year ago, SEAL Team continues to be a hit show, consistently leading Paramount+’s streaming rankings. The series, which previously aired for seven seasons on CBS and then Paramount+, focuses on the personal and professional lives of an elite Navy SEAL unit. Throughout its run, the show portrays their challenges and triumphs as they prepare, strategize, and carry out perilous and high-stakes missions in the service of the United States against seemingly insurmountable odds.

The main cast includes David Boreanaz, Neil Brown Jr., A.J. Buckley, and Max Thierio, who form an elite Tier One team. Frequently, their missions placed immense strain on the SEAL Team members as well as their families, sometimes requiring them to make the ultimate sacrifice for their nation. Here are the episodes of the series that received the highest ratings from IMDB users, with a notable trend: many of the top-ranked episodes in this military drama aired during Seasons 2, 4, and 6.
