Samantha Kaye TV Equals This ended up being a refreshing change of events. May 1, 2014 Full Review Carla Day TV Fanatic As great as it was, I would have preferred to see the two parts back-to-back weeks with the time jump as the cliffhanger. The long summer wait was well worth it though. Rated: 4.7/5 Sep 26, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

thanatos i kensi was missing quite a bit this season, but it was still a pretty good season, despite the storytelling felt messy and incomplete. I thought there was a lot of good character interaction anyway, even if the stories wer uneven, I still found it entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Though it make a few daring choices, Season 5 of NCIS: Los Angeles is cliched, formulaic tripe. The show really shoots itself in the foot by removing the Kensi Blye character from the team and setting her up in a B story in Afghanistan for half the season. The storytelling is bad all around; the character stories, the cases, the multiple episode arcs, they're all messy and confusing. And the tone of the show is inconsistent, switching between lighthearted goofiness and life and death seriousness from scene to scene. After five seasons, NCIS: Los Angeles has failed to evolve and feels stale. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
