It's been interesting seeing how the "NCIS" spinoffs are similar and different. At the core, you have characters that mesh well, a show that's a procedural, though not as intense as say "S. W. A. T.", and a good balance of story, drama and humor. What started as a show that was originally going to be on a streaming platform, migrated to a network station, and proved to be a great supplement to other shows on CBS. Aussie producer Shane Brennan, who's had a hand in other "NCIS" shows, brought the show home, and it's wonderful to see something like this on American television, the place where they remake Canadian shows because it's not American enough. Seeing a lot of the beautiful sites in the show is just fantastic, and you don't have to go there with all the carnivorous creatures. The cast works well together, and the playful jabs and puns add to the fun. Yes, there's a crime, a mystery, it can be serious, but it doesn't make your skin crawl (minus the episode with the snake under the house). I really look forward to watching this show at the end of the week. Some folks think it's just the right way to kick off the weekend. A little excitement, a little joking around, and characters it's easy to love. I think this is a great spin off, and I hope it lasts, certainly longer than the Hawai'i iteration.
