Duane F @RT25156282 5d Really enjoy the whole atmosphere and writing. However as we go along we have more scenes of Hollywoodized sex crap. My 'heroes' do not need wasted screen time fornicating or worse. Dah! See more Donn T. @greathawaiian Jan 14 One of the few shows on regular TV that are any good (besides High Potential and the second season of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage). See more Tom G @RT73754033 Nov 30 While this show starts with a winning premise and two known characters (Gibbs and Franks) it took most of the first season to get the backstory shaken out and put the characters and the episodic storyline in shape so Gibbs can become the model agent we see at the onset on the original NCIS. Yes, we start to see why Gibbs owes Franks his career, and perhaps his life after the death of his first wife and daughter. Yes, Gibbs has to go through a learning process to develop into the wise and tough leader of a team he will eventually become. No, his apparent secret infatuation of a teammate doesn’t seem to fit into his list of rules, especially when he seems to be seeing his soon to be second wife at the same time - or is that his lifelong regret and the unhealed wounds of the loss of his first family haunting him? Why isn’t Gibbs mentioning his rules? In NCIS, we learned his list of rules started when he first met Shannon. All in all a watchable show with room for sorely needed development for the minor characters. Watching the the gradual application of technology into the investigative process is an interesting but minor plot point in itself. This show is good, but with smart scripts and realistic character development, it could easily become better.
