Storyline

The Naval Criminal Investigation Service's Office of Special Projects takes on the undercover work and the hard to crack cases in LA. Key agents are G. Callen and Sam Hanna, streets kids risen through the ranks. Special Agent Kensi Blye, a forensic sleuth and unbeatable undercover operator rounds out the team of Agents. LAPD Detective Marty Deeks is a liaison officer that partners with Blye and is quickly picking up her undercover wits. Eric Beal's computer wizardry is invaluable, he works with Nell Jones, an intelligence analyst to whom Hetty quickly took a liking to, and far from HQ, the veteran chief has a freer hand than even the Director himself.

User Reviews

The MOD Squad

I have to agree with people who question what this show has to do with the "Navy" part of NCIS (for that matter, what does this show have to do with the "Investigation" part). There has been a lot of running around, car chases, explosion and shoot outs in the first few episodes, but very little good writing or interesting characters. Instead of promising an "NCIS" spin-off, they should have called it a modern version of "The MOD Squad" because that is what comes to my mind.

I think the biggest tell is that Donald Bellisario's name is nowhere to be found on this show (his son David is the Producer). I've always enjoyed the programs created and written by Donald Bellisario and if this is an example of David's future, he lacks his father's gift.
