In 1991, years prior to the events of NCIS, Leroy Jethro Gibbs starts his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office, where he forges his place on a gritty, ragtag team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks.

Who would love this

  • Long-time "NCIS" fans: Especially those interested in the character of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his backstory.
  • Viewers who appreciate darker, more introspective crime dramas: The show offers a more serious tone than the original series.
  • Fans of character-driven narratives: The series focuses on Gibbs' transformation and personal struggles.

Who might not

  • Viewers expecting the "usual action-packed, lighthearted NCIS": The prequel takes a significantly darker turn.
  • Those who prefer fast-paced, purely procedural shows without deep character dives: While it has case-of-the-week elements, the focus is heavily on Gibbs' personal journey.
  • Audiences sensitive to tonal shifts: If the show's attempts at humor undercut its dramatic moments, it could be a point of contention.
