Synopsis
TV Series (2009-2023). 14 Seasons. 314 Episodes. Drama about the high stakes world of undercover surveillance at the Office of Special Projects (OSP), a division of NCIS that is charged with apprehending dangerous and elusive criminals that pose a threat to the nation's security. By assuming false identities and utilizing the most advanced technology, this team of highly trained agents goes deep undercover, putting their lives on the line in the field to bring down their targets. Special Agent "G" Callen (Chris O'Donnell) is a chameleon who transforms himself into whomever he needs to be to infiltrate the criminal underworld. His partner is Special Agent Sam Hanna (LL Cool J), a former U.S. Navy SEAL who has seen action in both Afghanistan and Iraq, and a surveillance expert who uses state of the art monitoring equipment to look out for those in the field and feed them crucial information. Both Callen and Hanna report to ((yet Unknown)because Special Agent Lara Macy (Louise Lombard) quit after the pilot), the OSP team leader responsible for directing the operations and making life-or-death decisions.
Critics' reviews
- "The plot bats at logic like a cat toy, but the experience is still slickly entertaining."
- "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 all about the crimes, the technology, the guns, and, mostly about not having--or wanting--to think too much"
- "The series can at best be lauded for its efficiency and at worst be chided for resorting to the convenient fallback of Mexican drug lords as its initial heavies."
- "'NCIS: L.A'., like its parent, relies on a sturdy, mostly youthful cast, sporadic action, and sprightly dialogue."
- "Ms. Hunt gets some humorous lines, and the banter between partners Callen and Hanna can make them seem like a new-age Starsky and Hutch."
