There is a story to tell here. This isn’t just about nostalgia, or about a name. It isn’t even just about Gibbs, though of course, it is in many ways about him. Instead, the rest of this NCIS: Origins story we will just have to discover together. Go to Full Review Matt Webb Mitovich TV Line 10/15/2024

Wyatt T. @MovieWolf May 12 This is a good story about an OG past. So much fun. Please give this a try. See more B K. @bklel Apr 14 Best NCIS of all of them! Can’t wait for new episodes! See more Claire G. @plantgal25 Nov 5 I was initially apprehensive when the show came out but I have been truly shocked by how good it is. It honours the legacy, it establishes its own voice, it raises the stakes emotionally, and it gives longtime fans and newcomers something truly satisfying. It’s not just “another NCIS,” but the NCIS story we’ve been waiting for and one that explains how Gibbs became Gibbs, and why Franks is so important to him!

See more Jeff D @RT88531954 Oct 9 Smart, intense, well-written, and amazing actors. I really like the original series, but was skeptical of another spin-off. I was completely hooked from the first episode and couldn't wait to watch the new episode each week in season one. Well done Paramount, well done. See more Paul C @RT52885045 Oct 2 This is the first NCIS show that I truly been invested in. I liked the character driven story, and the narration is a nice touch. I just finished the first season and can't wait to dig into the next. See more Read all reviews
