NCIS is no longer quite the same after 22 seasons… While there are still many fans who follow the series, that doesn’t stop them from expressing criticism.
During its twenty-two seasons, NCISin which a return of Mark Harmon would be possible, has undergone many changes. Although some of these changes are positive, fans regret one thing in particular: the series has lost what made it unique and it’s not just the departure of Mark Harmon that we could see again soon. “I recently re-watched old seasons of NCIS and noticed something.”underlines an Internet user on a forum dedicated to the series, an episode of which moved the entire team, on Reddit. “Now it just feels like another FBI show.”he still believes. “I really miss the days when the episodes revolved around our officers, what they endured and all they gave for this countryand where Gibbs was there to understand them and help them because he was in their shoes”details the Internet user. “Yes, I agree. Even in the seasons with Gibbs, there were cases that moved away from the military universe”replies another.
NCIS : plots very far from the beginnings of the series
“NCIS was sold as a whole new style of series focusing on military crimes rather than basic street crimes, and now, 22 years later, that has faded, unfortunately”regrets yet another. So why did you move away from the original plots? Some Internet users have explanatory hypotheses: “The popularity of the military was probably greater in the 2000s thanks to 9/11 and the War on Terror”.
NCIS : a regret also valid for the derived series
NCIS would not be the only series to have lost its soul over the seasons if other comments are to be believed. “I had the same feeling with NCIS: Los Angeles. They were supposed to be undercover special ops. And they were, in the early seasons. But the last few seasons have strayed so far from the original plot.”deplores an early fan, who adds: “It seems that the NCIS universe has a tendency to lose its way…“. NCIS : Los Angeles (for which you probably haven’t noticed this huge change) is not the only one concerned! “I feel like NCIS: New Orleans didn’t even try. The military is barely mentioned in the cases, more like a subplot”adds another.
