NCIS (TV Series) Schooled (2020) User Reviews

Quite good

[harrykivi · 7/10 · 8 September 2023]

"Schooled" is not a great episode, but it is one of the stronger stories of this season.

Let's start with the good aspects.

. The production values of the episode are great. The music fits the scenery, the direction's solid and the acting is pretty good. Maria Bello gives her best performance as Sloane, she was captivating.

. The mystery is intriguing for the most part. There are a couple of good twists and the subplot about Sloane was compelling for me, made me care more about her. The sidestory with Mcgee and his college reunion is fine. There is a very good scene between Torres and McGee in this episode.

But...

. The jokes do not always land. I just do not care about Casey very much. There are parts of the story that feel "been there, done that". Especially the solution, which was pretty predictable.

Overall, quite good.

7/10 HK.

OK, but...

An OK story, but I could have done without 1/2 the episode.

To be clear: I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT JACK SLOAN OR HER SOAP OPERA! Kinda strange that her daughter goes from being totally antagonistic as we first saw her to touchy-feely luvy/duvy all of a sudden. That rings totally false. Do I care about who the girl's father is? Not before this episode, and not after. This is a whole set of characters and plot lines that the show would be better off just dropping. Find something better to fill that space. Please: Retire Sloan.

Another forgettable episode of NCIS here. Considering there are only a few left in the season we deserve more than this. No action, no story.
