NCIS is now one of the longest running shows on TV, and it remains one of the ‘biggest’ in the world, despite almost no social media presence. It has a audience that it caters to, and over the years, they have perfected the formula.
While the show lacks the drama and comedy of the early years with the characters we loved, the newer characters (Bishop/Torres etc) are a familiar part of the family now.
The episodes that featured the return of Cote De Pablo’s Ziva David were an absolute stand out, and it would be brilliant for Ziva and Tony to return in some capacity later down the line.
The show isn’t going to win any awards or break new ground, it does almost the same thing every week and is repetive, but it’s also good easy viewing, and especially in times like these, it’s nice going back to something familiar every week.
The team will return for Season 18 (and I’m sure many seasons after that).
Rating = 3/5
