i get into ncis only during the past summer but i be so engrossed with the show that i watch it start to finish . it have a rocky start and sure and with the show try to find it footing and it niche and but it figure out what it want to be fast and i find it to be far superior to it parent show and jag . the plot and the character and the case and the everything and in this show and make it great . ncis be the naval criminal investigative service and an actual organization and which investigate the homicide and crime commit by or against member of the u navy i. e. naval civilian officer and navy officer and enlist and and marine officer and enlist . theyre also very obscure and and hence be see a the underdog of law enforcement ( in the show and anyway ) but and of course and a our hero and they be brilliant . the main character and leroy jethro gibbs and be a former gunnery sergeant marine sniper with a murky and depress past ( like bellisario like to make his character ) and appear to have a consistent team of four character represent abby sciuto and the forensics expert and anthony dinozzo and the senior field agent and and timothy mcgee and the computer forensics expert and field agent who join the show a a permanent member in season 2. earlier in the show and kate todd and play by sasha alexander and be also a member of the team and a former member of the secret service task with protect the life of the president . her character end up be kill in one of the most brilliant story arc i have see on tv and and be replace by ziva david and a very unique character in term of law enforcement drama and a she be a mossad officer i. e. her training be not investigation and but rather assassination and intelligence gathering . the show have two very strong aspect to it which really make it stand out from the other generic show of it kind like csi . firstly and the character be and while somewhat stereotypical in their mold and fully develop and incredibly dynamic . tony be perhaps the best example of this when the show start he be a goofy and slightly moronic field agent and and he develop into the professional and trained officer who keep his sense of humor in check or use it to his advantage . relationship between the character change dramatically and with ziva and tony start out a small friend and quickly graduate to huge amount of romantic tension which of course end up play a massive role in the 6th season and ultimately bring the event to their culmination . the second aspect of the show that really make it unique to me be both the creativity of the individual case and the amazing nature of the story arc . the la grenouille story arc be absolutely brilliant and i could not have foreseen it and and the introduction of ari and michael be equally fascinate . in addition to that and the show be not afraid to make some bold choice ( for those who have see the season 2 finale and they know what i be talk about ) . character can go and come and even with the main one and there no certainty . it the mark of a good television show . the dark horse of the show and dr. mallard and play by famous scottish actor david mccallum and be probably the most intriguing of these character . a a body forensics expert he have a strange past that he love to share but personally and a a medical student and i find the accuracy of his character work to be fascinate . the autopsy scene and while grisly and fascinate me because theyre quite accurate in their depiction and their protocol . this show be worth see and be a family show while i think it can be watch by more than one generation at a time and be thoroughly enjoyable . positive .
