SAF3 (pronounced "safe") is a 2013-2014 action adventure drama series, produced by Dynamic Television and Stadium Media TV. The show stars Texas Battle and Dolph Lundgren, along with a talented supporting cast. SAF3 takes place in Southern California and centers around a team of specialists, led by John Eriksson (Lundgren), who respond to dangerous situations and emergencies. The acronym SAF3 stands for "Strategic Action Force, Special Ops, Third Generation", and refers to the elite group of firefighters, lifeguards, and rescue personnel who make up the team. Eriksson, himself a former Navy SEAL and experienced firefighter, heads the group and oversees their training and missions.

The team is a tight-knit group, with each member bringing a unique skill set to the table. Among the key players are Texas Battle's character, Alfonso Rivera, a tough and charismatic rescue diver, and Jocelyn Pierce, played by Danielle Anderson, a skilled paramedic with a troubled past. Other team members include Andy Boone (Steve Toussaint), a helicopter pilot and former Army Ranger, and Liz Windrow (Lydia Hull), a rookie lifeguard with something to prove.

Throughout the show's run, the SAF3 team faces a variety of challenges and crises, from raging wildfires to car accidents to drug busts. In each episode, the team must work together to assess the situation, rescue those in danger, and bring those responsible to justice. Along the way, they face personal challenges and conflicts, as well as pressure from their superiors to perform at the highest level.

SAF3 is an exciting and action-packed series that showcases the bravery and heroism of first responders. The show combines thrilling rescue sequences with compelling character development and interpersonal drama. The chemistry between the cast members is strong, and the production values are high. The attention to detail in the action scenes, particularly the water rescues, is impressive.

One of the standout elements of SAF3 is its focus on the importance of teamwork and training. The show emphasizes the need for specialized knowledge and skill sets in handling different types of emergencies, and highlights the rigorous training that the SAF3 team undergoes. This focus on realism and authenticity adds a level of credibility to the show, and makes the characters' heroism feel earned.

Another strength of SAF3 is its balance of drama and humor. While the show tackles some serious and emotional themes, particularly in Jocelyn's backstory and struggles with addiction, it also has its fair share of lighthearted moments. The banter between the team members is often funny, and their camaraderie and mutual respect are a joy to watch.

In addition to Lundgren and Battle, the supporting cast of SAF3 is also strong. Anderson brings depth and nuance to Jocelyn, and Hull is appealing as the eager and inexperienced Liz. Toussaint is an imposing presence as Boone, and brings a touch of gravitas to the role. The guest stars who appear throughout the series are also well-cast and add to the show's sense of realism and authenticity.

Overall, SAF3 is a well-executed action series that combines adrenaline-pumping rescue sequences with engaging character drama. The strong cast and attention to detail make the show a fun and rewarding watch for fans of the genre. Despite its relatively short run, SAF3 left a strong impression on audiences and remains a memorable entry in the world of action television.

SAF3 is a series that ran for 1 seasons (21 episodes) between September 21, 2013 and on Dynamic Television / Stadium Media TV
