Product ReviewsNcis: New Orleans: the First Season (DVD, 2014)

The City is the Star

The cast is fun & enjoyable to watch, each with their own quirks & fun things to watch, but the real star of the series is the City of New Orleans itself. I bought the complete season primarily to see the Special Features, and actually they are the best reasons to buy any "complete season" DVDs. Here we learn that the producers, directors, writers, crews, and the actors all agree that at least half of every shooting week (8 days) has to be shot on location in New Orleans. It's that necessary. N.O. is a very special city with it's very own "specialnesses" (from Monty Python) which can't be duplicated in a studio's back lot. The actors seem to clearly relish that fact in their performances.

My only frustrations with the NCIS franchise is that there is only 42 minutes available for each of the actual episodes. If, in an ideal world, each episode could last, say, 55 minutes, the episodes would be that much more complete (fuller?). Best example I can give is eating a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner in only ten minutes because the ball game is about to start. It's just too rushed & the full enjoyment is often not there. But, I'll keep on buying each season's DVDs. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Read full review...

The latest NCIS spinoff

NCIS New Orleans is very New Orleans. The situations are much more like NCIS Los Angeles than like the original NCIS. It has more shoot-em-up than the original, but fewer explosions than NCIS Los Angeles. Where the original concentrated more on Navy Secrets, LA focuses more on terrorism, and NO seems to mix in all of these with a good dose of urban or criminal gangs. If heavy action and strong character-development and interactions are your thing, you will LOVE all of the NCIS groups. Read full review...

Entertaining with enjoyable characters.

First of the series is entertaining with likable characters. New Orleans makes for an interesting setting.
It is a standard NCIS format.
