The twenty-first season of NCIS, with its condensed 10-episode format, has managed to intensify its narrative drive and character development, making for a highly engaging viewing experience. The shift towards serialized storytelling has been well-received, with plotlines weaving through the characters’ personal and professional lives, adding layers of depth and intrigue. While the season excels in quality and acting, some storylines feel a bit rushed due to the shorter season. Nevertheless, the mix of suspense, drama, and emotional moments keeps the audience captivated, continuing NCIS’s legacy as a beloved crime procedural.
