Is it worth checking out?
After Washington DC, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Hawaii, now in Sydney the NCIS teams have set up shop for the first international iteration of the famous franchise.
And if it is usually on the M6 that viewers meet to discover new spin-offs of the detective series, previously led by Mark Harmon, now they will be able to watch 10 episodes of the first season of the series on the Paramount+ platform. NCIS: Sydney.
Therefore, in Australia, a country that we rarely see in the series offered on French territory, we find this new team of agents as different. The death of a US submarine during an AUKUS ceremony (named after the defense alliance between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States) is the subject of a joint investigation by NCIS officers at sea and the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
While the relationship between NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mack and AFP Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey has been strained at times, the duo and their teams succeed in working together to solve this investigation. A cohabitation that would continue after the two agencies became one, thus giving birth to NCIS: Sydney.
Early fans of the NCIS franchise should be won over by this new spin-off, which combines 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 above all. A little touch of humor in the dialogues to lighten things up.
Like NCIS: Hawaii, which called on a Hawaiian actor to play one of its main characters, NCIS: Sydney also opted for diversity by choosing to work with Australian teams.
Therefore, part of the cast consists of actors straight from the land of kangaroos, as evidenced by their slight accents (for the bravest who watch the series in the original subtitled version).
If NCIS: Sydney does not reinvent the genre, and is primarily recommended for fans of procedural series and fans of Gibbs, Cullen, Kensi and others, the detective series directed by Shane Brennan, creator and showrunner of NCIS: Los. Angeles continues to be a joy to watch, especially thanks to the well-built main characters.
