It's a nice change of pace that LL Cool J is playing the more stable partner while the normally blander-than-bland [Chris] O'Donnell's a bit of a head case. Go to Full Review Jonathan Storm Philadelphia Inquirer 01/28/2020
It's slightly less entertaining than the moderately entertaining original. Go to Full Review Barry Garron The Hollywood Reporter 01/28/2020
"NCIS: L.A.," like its parent, relies on a sturdy, mostly youthful cast, sporadic action, and sprightly dialogue. Go to Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com 01/28/2020
3.5/5
"NCIS: Los Angeles" is, at worst, TV comfort food, which really isn't such a bad thing at all. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nick J @RT11404809 06/19/2024 The best show of the Ncis franchise in my opinion, with an amazing cast. See more thanatos i @Thanatos0042 05/03/2022 This is a good spin off, I'm not sure there are really NCIS agencies that focus with undercover, but why not? It's entertaining and the characters are fun and the stories good and Hetty is most awesome. I'd have watched that for her alone. See more 04/13/2020 The show is turning to crap. It started out good but too many character changes and now trying to be too politically correct. This show is on its way out. See more 11/28/2018 this series is the worst one i ever seen in my life See more 01/18/2016 I don't like NCIS, so I shouldn't like this, but I like it better than the original because it uses comedy as an advantage. See more 06/01/2015 I like it ok. I have to say for some reason I just dont like the original. I'll admit it can be a little corny at times but I don't ,mind it. It's not one of my favorites, but I'll keep watching for now. I am only up to season 4. See more Read all reviews
