Ellen Gray Philadelphia Inquirer It's a nice change of pace that LL Cool J is playing the more stable partner while the normally blander-than-bland [Chris] O'Donnell's a bit of a head case. Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Jonathan Storm Philadelphia Inquirer It's slightly less entertaining than the moderately entertaining original. Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Barry Garron The Hollywood Reporter "NCIS: L.A.," like its parent, relies on a sturdy, mostly youthful cast, sporadic action, and sprightly dialogue. Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com "NCIS: Los Angeles" is, at worst, TV comfort food, which really isn't such a bad thing at all. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 28, 2020 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba "NCIS: Los Angeles" is butterscotch candy. If you're bored, and it's sitting in a candy dish in front of you, you might take one. But it's not anything you'd seek out. Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com It's all about the energized action, the cool tech and the momentum, all of which made this a top ten show and the number two rated scripted drama in TV (right behind the original NCIS) in its debut season.

Nick J The best show of the Ncis franchise in my opinion, with an amazing cast. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review thanatos i This is a good spin off, I'm not sure there are really NCIS agencies that focus with undercover, but why not? It's entertaining and the characters are fun and the stories good and Hetty is most awesome. I'd have watched that for her alone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The show is turning to crap. It started out good but too many character changes and now trying to be too politically correct. This show is on its way out. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member this series is the worst one i ever seen in my life Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't like NCIS, so I shouldn't like this, but I like it better than the original because it uses comedy as an advantage. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I like it ok. I have to say for some reason I just dont like the original. I'll admit it can be a little corny at times but I don't ,mind it. It's not one of my favorites, but I'll keep watching for now. I am only up to season 4.
