NCIS - TV Series Review

NCIS main focus tracks the Major Case Response Team of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In this vein they explore criminal offences associated with Navy and Marine Corps personnel. Working cases of high-stake, this fictional television series is based around the NCIS team managed by Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a man who was a milita ry marine before becoming an investigator.

NCIS is a crime drama series that also has comedy and focuses on the characters and their relationships. It has elements like justice, loyalty, teamwork and has a serious humor note. Well it is a proper mix of criminal investigation and comedy and this is very interesting.

The stars include Mark Harmon who plays Gibbs give very strong performances. Every cast member from Tony DiNozzo to the high-tech Timothy McGee brings flavor, and a certain depth due to hugely different personalities. These new characters like Abby Sciuto in particular add qualities that are special and adds on the spirit of the NCIS team. Their direction makes for a narrative flow of the episodes and keeps the audience engaged and on the edge with each episode.

The series is richly endowed with dramatic and suspenseful parts with appropriate background music that enhances the tension of the episodes. The music plays out well at every scene and does not distract from the show’s flow while entertaining the viewers sufficiently enough.

The scenes in NCIS are shot well, the thrills of crime investigation are gripping and due attention is paid to interpersonal relations within the team. The elaborate sets on this show build on the audience’s ability to understand the atmospherical context of military crime scenes. Every space — from the glossy offices of the characters to the gritty crime scenes — are conscientiously crafted to give the viewer a sense of the world of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service Special effects are used sparingly in NCIS, which works to ensure that they help from overwhelming. After all the situations described by the characters and everything displayed in practical actions and effects, their role is discreet but essential for representing the realistic investigations and the action.

It is done very especially in NCIS where it does not abruptly let action take over the conversations and storytelling as the editing is very smooth. The editing contributes to this part significantly bearing in mind that every minute of the series has to count.

The show uses pacing very well as seen in NCIS through timed revelations, and endings that make viewers wait for the next episode. Thus, even if one of the NCIS series episodes focusing on the process of investigating a crime, it switches between cases and character developments perfectly.

The show offers viewers sharp and witty dialogue, which really helps with the development of the characters. The strength of the writing manifests itself through dialogue especially between the members of the team as well as the blend of drama and comedy in the show.

This is however not to say that errors are not present; for instance in the recent episodes of NCIS, the solutions to many cases are quite predictable. Some elements of plot might be repeated which is did not deplete the show’s ability to feel fresh with each episode. But the character dynamics and the show’s humor are enough to keep hardcore NCIS fans coming back.

Despite this, character dynamics and the show’s humor make NCIS a timeless crime drama, adding another series to the genre. It has the capability to be investigative while at the same time flaunt high amounts of drama for the viewers. It creates a tone of expectation and contentment and grounds the viewer within its complex tapestry of military law.
