NCIS: Los Angeles: The Queen's Gambit (2016)
Season 8, Episode 3
Inacurracies
25 December 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Inacurracies everywhere, from the opening scene, portraying a Muslim prayer. Well, Muslims lower their gaze while praying, and don't look in front as the character does (and there usually shelves in the mosques for the Quran, so no need to put it beside you). The Afghan brothers were too white to be Afghans. Maybe because they're rich Afghans. During an interrogation, a supposedly well-informed agent says: "ISIS bride". Really? In Afghanistan? Don't I.S. stand for Irak and Syria? Or referring to Al-Qaeda is kind of outdated? I don't discuss here the political issues of who are the real villains. It seems that the developers of the show target an audience ignorant of the Middle East, so they overlook details concerning it with no regrets at all (nor expecting an overwhelming flood of bad reviews).
