Six reasons why History's 'Six' is the series to watch this month

'Six' features missions that are based partly in reality and events that some special operations soldiers have genuinely lived through
PUBLISHED JUN 14, 2018

History channel's 'Six' states that its stories are based in truth and chronicle the highly-classified operations of the men who are a part of the US Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), more commonly referred to as SEAL Team Six. The show premiered in January 2017 and was received well by critics as well as audiences and was renewed for a second season that aired a little over two weeks ago.

The first season revolves around a tightly-knit pack of special soldiers: Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Richard 'Rip' Taggart (Walton Goggins), Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Joe 'Bear' Graves (Barry Sloane), Chief Special Warfare Operator Alex Caulder (Kyle Schmid), Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Ricky 'Buddha' Ortiz (Juan Pablo Raba), Chief Special Warfare Operator Armin 'Fishbait' Khan (Jaylen Moore), Special Warfare Operator First Class Robert Chase (Edwin Hodge), and Special Warfare Operator First Class Beauregard 'Buck' Buckley (Danny Boaz).
