NCIS: Sydney

I like all the NCIS variants as they are an easy watch with mostly decent plots. I've also enjoyed this series. It suffers from being an "NCIS" franchise and would probably have a higher rating if it was a stand alone series.

It's light weight and amusing. More light weight than the usual NCIS. The characters grow throughout the series and you learn a little more about each one as it progresses. They need to settle Blue down, normally in a 22 episode series, the quirky one starts off a bit extreme before becoming more normal. They have to speed it up with fewer episodes as she is a good actress but the character is grating.

Apparently the series has been renewed for a second season.

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.

First: Why do Arrogant Americans with bad attitudes like to go around the world and treat everyone in a condescending manner? For example FBI International and now NCIS Sydney?

The original NCIS was great. NCIS: Los Angeles was not even half as good, NCIS: New Orleans sucked more, NCIS: Hawaii sucked even more, and NCIS: Sydney sucks the most.

The writing is shallow and the acting is dry. Agent Michelle Mackey is not even close to be as interesting as L. J Gibbs. While Gibbs is confident and competent, Mackey has only a back attitude.

I will not watch more of this.

I can't see this show lasting more than one season.

Mackey is totally unlikable, she is rude and abrasive and a cheap knockoff of Gibbs. The rest of the cast is solid replace Mackey and the show would be good. Or at least watchable. Bluebird and the Doc are awesome. The Sydney cast is great, the lead American is unwatchable. The stories have been ok, but the lead brings it all down. They are also trying way too hard to replicate what Tony and Zina had for chemistry vs letting it play out and happen instead of forcing it. They are also forcing the Australia is full of dangerous creatures.maybe in time the show can get better but they need to make some big changes to keep me interested.

The female leads are over acting and they are really arrogant most of the time, the words that come out of mackey her mouth don't go together with her person, and you can really see that they are acring. When i watch a show i want to believe that the people are the caracters that they play and i don't with them. Such a shame, this can cost a lost. The other actors are good and the stories too. Love the nerd and the doctor. They are typpical ncis caracters , a little bit off . I have watched all of the ncis franchise shows and even after the medium ncis new orleans this show will Come at bottom of my list because of the acting isseus.
