Series Finale of NCIS LA
I use to like this show, but quit watching several years ago when Nell and her computer geek boyfriend left and were replaced by more PC characters.

I may watch the last 2 hours, just depending on how bad it is.

Is it ending for good?
I quit watching long ago and only watched the original NCIS.
None of the other knock offs were anything close to the original especially when Gibbs was around.

I used to watch NCIS LA less regularly than NCIA. I dropped off when they were pushing the Heddy character has having some super duper ninja skills. I also noticed swapping out the girl with the elf-like ears for PC characters.

I dropped off watching NCIS when Gibbs left. I only watch it on DVR when I have nothing else to watch.

Yes, it is ending for good. Last nights and next weeks shows are the last. Callin is supposed to be getting married.

I think both NCIS LA and NCIS are in their death throes and have been for the past couple years. NCIS might hang on for another year, but NCIS LA is done.

I was a BIG fan of L.A. when it first came out. Started to go south for me when Deeks and Kensey officially became an item.

We still watch NCIS and we did watch NCIS NO untill they were done. Watched the first episode of NCIS Hawaii but once they introduced the gay couple I was done.

Regular NCIS definitely coasting on fumes, I give it another year maybe two before they pull the plug. So many of the storylines don’t even involve things NCIS should even be involved with at this point.

IMO it’s falling into the same trap like that show “The Unit”. The first couple of years dealt with strictly Army matters and plotlines. Then they started going down this crazy cloak and dagger James Bond crap path and it just got silly.

We watched it weekly until it got just plain stupid. Dumb plotlines and dumb, PC actors. I prefer a test pattern.

I watched the final just for closure. SPOILER ALERT:



Hetty didn't get to make an appearance but she did do a read over. the girl with the elf ears got to come back as supposedly leading an international group now which the two main characters are being recruited into. They let the leading man's son do a cameo in the last scene.

That made me laugh out loud! I was glad to see a Nel appearance - I just read that LL Cool J (Sam) is going to begin appearing on NCIS Hawaii.

Here we go again. NCIS Sydney Sum it up in one word - boring. All the usual PC characters.

Some nice shots of the opera house and bridge though

I find that hard to believe in this day and age of streaming platforms. We have more content than ever before!

Pure fantasy T.V. If there are any NCIC people out there who want to school me, I apologize and am open to what they have to say.

In my experience, NCIC would occasionally come to our Police Dept. asking for help in cases. I asked the question if they didn't have all the fancy people and computer and lab stuff they show on TV. No they did not and these Agents found the TV show to be an embarrassment.

I had to do an on-base interview of a Marine. Their building was nice but my interview room was quite literally a storage closet.

And now NCIS, Sydney? Am I missing something? Does the U.S. have that many ships and personnel in Australia that they can come up with so many things to T.V. about?

I wish I could type upside down to tell you what I think about NCIS Sydney.

I only watched it a few times. Watching almost any TV show or movie requires a little bit of suspension of disbelief, but this one needed too much. Implausible, unbelievable and not particularly likable plots and characters.

Maybe so but I am finding a LOT of cheap foreign overdubbed crap via streaming.
Also Prime is inundating their selection with ad-laden FreeVee shows.
Seems like every streamer is now offering a high percentage of other-streamer-shows, all for a price of course trying to get you to subscribe.
Streaming ain't the golden gem it used to be. Frown
