A fine premise and underlying commentary on the evolution of Police Procedural tv shows. Back in the Golden days of TV, there was dogged police work as well as traditional gumshoes to solve crimes and it was fun to follow along. In the 21st Century, technology took over almost to a propaganda extent -the human factor is still there of course, but the shortcuts of special effects and fancy optical displays substitute for Sherlock Holmes' power of deduction. And don't forget, the gore that once was left to drive-in movies crept in and took over all the CSI/Bones style whodunits. (Of course David McCallum indulges here in mandatory blood & guts with a victim's corpse, a far cry from his derring-do as spy Illya Kuryakin four decades earlier.)
A local power shortage is the obvious gimmick to give our NCIS team the opportunity to work in older tried & true methods, and it's a pleasure to watch. As far as propaganda is concerned, IMDBers have been trained to look for goofs, inaccuracies and other trivialities -as if that's all that movies and tv shows are about. How about a remedial course in Artistic License?
