Season 1 was inspired by both the classic 1975 TV series and the 2003 movie adaptation. The show became popular for combining modern police action with real-world social issues happening in Los Angeles. Shemar Moore performed many physically demanding action scenes himself and trained with real tactical officers to make the missions look authentic. The series also used military-style weapons training and real SWAT movement tactics, which helped the action scenes feel realistic compared to many other police dramas. The chemistry between the team members quickly became one of the biggest reasons fans connected with the show.
