'Six' season 2 review: A promising premise undercut by poor character development

'Six' was canceled by history after just two seasons as ratings had plunged drastically. A look at season 2 tells us why that was so.

History's 'Six' aimed to rise above the sea of other dramas that have, in the past, attempted to chronicle the lives of the famed U.S Navy Seals. Instead of focusing on just the high-octane action scenes that make for easy, brain-dead viewing, it insisted on inserting the family and personal element, tapering off from time-to-time to give audiences a look into the psychological impact that these highly-trained soldiers have to often endure. The show offered a pleasant change of pace from having bullets, blood, body parts thrown at you relentlessly, but unfortunately, decreasing ratings meant that the show was scrapped by the network.
