Critic Reviews

Los Angeles Times

Mary McNamara

Season 1 Review: Writer and executive producer Shane Brennan has worked on "NCIS" for years; he knows what he's doing and how to do it well; the casting is solid, the crimes international. What's not to like? Read full review

Chicago Sun-Times

Paige Wiser

Season 1 Review: The nonstop action lulls you into kind of a pleasant daze--as if Cool J were saying to the screen, "Sit back and relax, ma'am, you're in good hands." It's certainly not brain food, but I'll be back for a second helping. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter

Barry Garron

Season 1 Review: NCIS: L.A., like its parent, relies on a sturdy, mostly youthful cast, sporadic action, and sprightly dialogue. Read full review

USA Today

Robert Bianco

Season 1 Review: It's a serviceable hour that takes the NCIS formula--a light tone and a lot of banter wrapped around a fairly rudimentary investigatory plot--and transfers it to a special, undercover NCIS division in Los Angeles. Nothing more, but also nothing less. Read full review

Newsday

Verne Gay

Season 1 Review: It's a Pre-Cambrian specimen that crept out of the primordial ooze of TV past, with a rhythm so profoundly familiar that if you happened to fall asleep during the first few minutes and woke up for the last, you'd be able to mentally reconstruct the entire program from scratch.

Chicago Tribune

Maureen Ryan

Season 1 Review: I have nothing against procedurals per se, but all this rather soulless copy has going for it is the jaunty performance of LL Cool J and a fairly efficient tick-tock plot. Depending upon your mood or preference, that may be enough. Read full review

PopMatters

Lesley Smith

Season 1 Review: One could watch NCIS: Los Angeles. But one could also watch paint dry with far less pain and no less gain. Read full review

My husband and I do NOT miss any episodes of this show because you all work so well together... a family. Unfortunately though we do have 1 complaint, Nell's attire.

Nell is an attractive young lady and yet she is always dressed frumpy and so mother Hubbard-ish. For a short while there she was being dressed in jeans and jogging suits and clothes that matched, very nice looking. What happened?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As the NCIS its beautifully made, the only thing that screw up with the show was Mosley.. like why her ? she was totally off the show, another thing was the exit of Nell Jones and Eric Beale.… Expand

Which viewers are you going for? Are you going for adults who think eric Christian's Scooby do is cute. I don't care about them adopting a child I want to see what NCIS does.

I used to like this show but it stopped with shey mosley as part of the crew, this show sucks. not sure why she was cast other than to ruin the team & the show. i'm watching the show on ion tonight & apparently her son was taken so she beats up a guy, fires deeks, & breaks every ruleI used to like this show but it stopped with shey mosley as part of the crew, this show sucks. not sure why she was cast other than to ruin the team & the show. i'm watching the show on ion tonight & apparently her son was taken so she beats up a guy, fires deeks, & breaks every rule possible. she does everything illegal & what's worse is the "team" backs her up. the deeks/blye relationship is obviously a lie because she never had any intention of ever quitting ncis. the fact hettie part has been underminded & is vertually nonexistent. this show, while has walked the line verging on the illegal, it has never gone this far. as of now, i will not be watching the rest of the show!… Expand

The show started off good but has turned to crap. Too many character changes and now trying too hard to be politically correct. This show is on the way out.

Sorry. Used to be a good show but the link with Navy personnel is now tenuous if at all. In addition gratuitous hardly credible violence, and dialogue that sounds as though they are cramming in a two hour show into one hour. Watched three episodes of latest series then deleted the lot.Sorry. Used to be a good show but the link with Navy personnel is now tenuous if at all. In addition gratuitous hardly credible violence, and dialogue that sounds as though they are cramming in a two hour show into one hour. Watched three episodes of latest series then deleted the lot. Couldn't understand a word of what was being said. A programme should be enjoyed not cause stress trying to understand speech. It was play, rewind, play rewind, play rewind. Gave up and deleted. Used to be such a good show.… Expand

I am very disappointed in the way the show is going. I have been a fan of NCIS in general for years. When I try to watch NCIS Los angeles I find myself irritated Nia Long the new Assistant Director has made this show hard to watch. She is cruel, hard hearted and selfish, self-centered andI am very disappointed in the way the show is going. I have been a fan of NCIS in general for years.
