Initial reviews for the new NCIS spin-off, NCIS: Sydney, have emerged, and they’re quite positive.
The series ventures into Australia, featuring a multinational task force that includes US NCIS agents and the Australian Federal Police (AFP), navigating heightened tensions in the Indo-Pacific region.
Lead characters in the ensemble include NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey (Olivia Swann) and Australian Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey (Todd Lasance).
Receiving early assessments, the show has garnered an impressive 83% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Reviewers acknowledge that while NCIS: Sydney adheres to some familiar procedural elements, its fresh location is a welcome addition to the NCIS franchise.
TheWrap commends the series for its spirited female characters, top-notch production values, relentless action, high stakes, and engaging banter, suggesting it will satisfy the devoted international audience of NCIS.
TVLine raises the question of whether, after numerous seasons and episodes across the NCIS franchise, there’s still room for innovation. The review suggests that the shift to Sydney brings enough change to warrant this new offshoot.
According to TV Fanatic, NCIS: Sydney kicks off at a brisk pace, compensating for any initial lack of chemistry among its ensemble with well-crafted characterizations and some of the most compelling cases in recent years.
