If you want action that respects the story underneath it, Shooter is available in Australia on Stan, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video right now. Across 3 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 729 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Ryan Phillippe is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action its context. Put it on tonight on Stan and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Shooter earns its spot. The set pieces are impressive, but it is the story underneath them that gives Shooter its staying power. Bob Lee Swagger is an expert marksman living in exile who is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president. The physicality Ryan Phillippe and Shantel VanSanten bring elevates every sequence. It ran for 3 seasons (2016–2018), and the writing holds up across every one of them. Shooter earns its bigger moments by making you care about the outcome before it happens. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want their entertainment to move fast and not waste a scene, Shooter respects your time. The tonal similarities to 24 are real, though Shooter carves out its own identity quickly. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Ryan Phillippe is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action the context it needs to land. The action holds up because the character work underneath it never lets up.

Shooter was cancelled in 2018, created by John Hlavin — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
