NCIS: Sydney

Mackey is totally unlikable, she is rude and abrasive and a cheap knockoff of Gibbs. The rest of the cast is solid replace Mackey and the show would be good. Or at least watchable. Bluebird and the Doc are awesome. The Sydney cast is great, the lead American is unwatchable. The stories have been ok, but the lead brings it all down. They are also trying way too hard to replicate what Tony and Zina had for chemistry vs letting it play out and happen instead of forcing it. They are also forcing the Australia is full of dangerous creatures.maybe in time the show can get better but they need to make some big changes to keep me interested.

First: Why do Arrogant Americans with bad attitudes like to go around the world and treat everyone in a condescending manner? For example FBI International and now NCIS Sydney?

The original NCIS was great. NCIS: Los Angeles was not even half as good, NCIS: New Orleans sucked more, NCIS: Hawaii sucked even more, and NCIS: Sydney sucks the most.

The writing is shallow and the acting is dry. Agent Michelle Mackey is not even close to be as interesting as L. J Gibbs. While Gibbs is confident and competent, Mackey has only a back attitude.

I will not watch more of this.

I can't see this show lasting more than one season.

I've watched the NCIS franchise since Gibbs started the first boat, but this is a bit of a stretch. We get it, US Navy is all over the world and they somehow made it to Sydney, too. Agent Mackey is made so unlikable, it spoils the whole show and even the likability of the other characters, though no personality, doesn't help. The interpersonal relationships are non existant, the weirdness of the team and constant "misunderstanding" of local culture are another testament of US Americans' ignorance of other cultures. Three episodes in and I give up. Not even interested to find out why Mackey is so unlikable. Kudos to Oliva Swann.

The female leads are over acting and they are really arrogant most of the time, the words that come out of mackey her mouth don't go together with her person, and you can really see that they are acring. When i watch a show i want to believe that the people are the caracters that they play and i don't with them. Such a shame, this can cost a lost. The other actors are good and the stories too. Love the nerd and the doctor. They are typpical ncis caracters , a little bit off . I have watched all of the ncis franchise shows and even after the medium ncis new orleans this show will Come at bottom of my list because of the acting isseus.

The first episode is ok. I like the idea of it being in Sydney and having the opportunity to include Australian actors and to have some of the cultural differences.

I think it can be a good show, they just need time to develop the characters and their back story. The one issue have is with the Michele character, the actress just seems to be ether trying to hard or the writers are really off on who she should be. She's really stiff and uptight, they could be doing it because Sydney is her first command and are going to have her be more relaxed as the season progresses. I hope so, because like I said I think the show has potential.
