NCIS: Sydney

Truely disappointed by this NCIS spin off, it doesn't equal NCIS Los Angeles or NCIS New Orleans. The actors are pretty tame and the plots are average. Will have to see what it gives in Season 2 toi see if it has improved or not. The main protaganist Olivia doesn't how to act and is no way equal to Donna Reasonover or Cote De Pablo. Todd Lasance is tiring by his useless and unfunny humor, he is not in the league. Of Michael Weatherly or Sean Murray. There is hardly chemistry and connexion between the actors and their characters. The actor who plays the doctor isnot David Mc Callaum but is an absolute joke. The other members of the teams are played by actors that are bland , I hope the plots in the next episode will be more solid and characters more consistent.

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.

I always give a new show 3 episodes. Of course some are so good you can give a 10 right off the bat.

The best thing about this show, as in NCIS Hawaii, is the scenery! And the accents, as an American I love watching foreign shows especially from the UK and Australia.

The lead NCIS agent, who I don't know from anything else, is a bit of a dud. If you think of the leads in original and even New Orleans you had charismatic actors on well written roles.

Seems like since New Orleans ended they have trying hard to keep franchise going but not doing a very good job of it.

I will give it 2 more episodes but I am not holding out much hope.

I've watched the NCIS franchise since Gibbs started the first boat, but this is a bit of a stretch. We get it, US Navy is all over the world and they somehow made it to Sydney, too. Agent Mackey is made so unlikable, it spoils the whole show and even the likability of the other characters, though no personality, doesn't help. The interpersonal relationships are non existant, the weirdness of the team and constant "misunderstanding" of local culture are another testament of US Americans' ignorance of other cultures. Three episodes in and I give up. Not even interested to find out why Mackey is so unlikable. Kudos to Oliva Swann.

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.
