NCIS: New Orleans (TV Series) Operation Drano, Part I (2021) User Reviews

This Show Was Going Downhill Prior To Covid

[noonieblount · 6/10 · 28 December 2022]

For those reviews that are claiming the show started getting bad ONLY when hot topics like racism, police profiling, government corruption, and Covid-19 issues arose, must not have seen the first 6 seasons.

When the writers got away from the real reason to have NCIS agents (which was after the show consultant died) the show started a fast decline. What happened to investigating Naval and Marine crimes?

I don't think any of the actors/actresses are bad, they are working with what is presented to them.

Although it's too late for the producers to redeem the show and make it interesting like the original NCIS and NCIS Los Angeles, these reviews should be a guidance to the writers in the future.

Off the Rails

NCIS- Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Emphasis on the NAVAL. They're not there to investigate racial inequality in New Orleans at large, they're not there to fix the problem and they're certainly not there to play political football with local bigwigs. In their desperation to pander to what Hollywood deems "relevant" they've lost sight of their primary mission and the entire reason why viewers tune in. We watch the show to watch them investigate naval crimes. There are others shows better able to deal with stories involving the issues they're getting involved in. All Rise and Bull come to mind. If they keep this up viewers are going to walk away and concentrate on other procedurals that are providing better stories that actually relate to the show's premise.
