Creatively the series has potential but all the same tired pitfalls its predecessors did. There is very little surprise to the series. For some that's a feature, not a bug. Read full review

New team, same stories investigating crimes involving military personnel. Read full review

At least in the first episode, Lachey proves a perfectly solid center of gravity in her first leading series role; it will be interesting to see how much the show pushes her outside her comfort zone, if at all. ... If you’re already a fan, it’s worth giving a shot. If not, there are plenty of other shows in the sea. Read full review

STREAM IT if you’re an NCIS fan. NCIS: Hawai’i will give you more of the same stuff you love, with the Aloha state as a beautiful backdrop. If you’re expecting anything deeper than that, though, you should SKIP IT. Read full review

Exactly what you’d expect, but less of it. ... There’s no indication yet of the creaky banter and slightly quirky personalities that make the original “NCIS” a guilty pleasure, but these things take time. Read full review

By the way, if you insist on watching NCIS: Hawai'i in order to dispose of those excess brain cells clogging your neural pathways, never ever miss the first 10 seconds because that's when stuff blows up. The show may not have any money for acting or dialogue, but the TNT budget never seems to go low. Read full review

I've been an NCIS fan since the beginning of the original series. Although shot in a new location, it covers pretty much similar story lines as those of it's predecessors, with slight variations. Not as much action as to say that of NCIS: Los Angeles, but has potential. Being in Hawai'i,I've been an NCIS fan since the beginning of the original series.

Like the scenery. The rest is ho-hum.

Plot lines are predictable and the characters are basic recycled stock. I find myself caring little about the characters’ personal lives and relationships. Don’t need another couple of lesbians trying to find themselves. The single mom thing isLike the scenery. The rest is ho-hum.

I find myself caring little about the characters’ personal lives and relationships. Don’t need another couple of lesbians trying to find themselves. The single mom thing is nothing new, either.

Unless we see some major improvements in the writing and plots, this show won’t be anything to remember after a few years.

Probably time for all the NCIS shows to fade away. None are as good as the original used to be.… Expand
