Is it worth checking out?
Despite the impending shutdown of NCIS: Los Angeles after 14 seasons and the cancellation of a spin-off set in New Orleans in 2021, the police franchise NCIS, which began in 2003 with NCIS: Special Investigations, has not said its last word. far from there.
Although a new version, set in Sydney, Australia, is being prepared for the Paramount + platform, and that the parent series continues to thrive on CBS in the United States, despite the departure of Mark Harmon (Gibbs) in the 19th season. The third spin-off, which this time takes us to the heart of the Hawaiian Islands, was born in 2021 across the Atlantic Ocean.
Simply titled NCIS: Hawaii, this new spin-off series finally arrives in France on the M6 this Saturday, February 18 at 9:10 p.m., after first becoming available on Salto a few weeks ago. And fans of NCIS should be won over by this spin-off, which includes all the codes of the franchise: investigations against the background of the US military, a team with obvious chemistry despite very different characters, action scenes and a bit of humor. Dialogues to illuminate the whole.
Vanessa Lachie, Noah Mills and Alex Tarrant, three stars of NCIS: Hawaii.
Created by Christopher Silber (former NCIS: New Orleans showrunner), Ian Nash and Matt Bosack, NCIS: Hawaii also takes advantage of the natural setting of the Hawaiian paradise, which offers an extra breath of fresh air and provides a welcome change of scenery.
However, it is not all these elements that we retain after watching a few episodes of this new series. Indeed, the good news is that NCIS: Hawaii manages to stand out (slightly) from its cousins, as it is the first series in the NCIS franchise to be anchored by a woman.
After Mark Harmon, the Chris O’Donnell/LL Cool J duo and Scott Bakula make way for Vanessa Lachey, who does very well in her first regular role in a drama. We’re quickly drawn to Jane Tennant, her character who combines a strong character with a genuine motherly side, making her a relatable boss to the team. And the time has come for NCIS to have a female lead without a male co-lead, as is still too often the case in detective fiction.
Kai and Jane, two characters that contribute to the diversity of this new series.
The contribution to the diversity of this new spin-off does not end there: NCIS: Hawaii also manages to take an interest in Hawaiian culture through Kai Holman, NCIS agent Alex Tarrant, who returns to the archipelago to take care of his father. .
The series also features, for the first time, two LGBTQIA+ characters among its cast: NCIS Pearl Harbor agent Lucy Tara (Yasmin Al-Bustami) and DIA agent Kate Whistler, played by Tori Anderson, who square off against each other on the field. It’s quite a fun way to share a love story. A relationship that should quickly become one of the main points of interest for viewers drawn into the NCIS Pearl Harbor adventure.
NCIS: Hawaii therefore breathes a bit of freshness into a franchise that really needed it. But the series does not reinvent the genre either and is primarily recommended for fans of procedural series and fans of Gibbs, Cullen, Kensi and others.
