With the buzz that this show got when first released, along with the cast, I was expecting so much more than what was delivered. I've questioned my processing capacity because at several points I asked myself "What is going on with this show?" It was like I couldn't follow it and the show isn't that deep. Then I realized, too many characters not adding to the plot, too many subplots that didn't really mesh or matter and too great a leap out of common sense. I can suspend belief for a great fantasy show that makes it all seem possible, but this show asks you to suspend good taste and good sense. I love Gustaf Skarsgard and have been impressed with several other cast members, but this should be a show they don't add to their resumes.

I have been a fan of NCIS for years, particularly since they added Cote DePablo. I even managed to find enjoyment with the newer characters in Season 11 and beyond. However, it's lost a bit of its magic. I am writing this to vent about the last couple of seasons, in particular about whoever is responsible for makeup and wardrobe. McGee's long and greasy comb back makes him look like a middle aged predator. Gibbs has enough make -up on to look like a walking corpse; we know he is getting older (We all are!), but there is so much puddy on his face it makes him look absolutely awful. Who is responsible for dressing Bishop and Torres? They look like bums. If a federal agent ever came to me dressed like those two, I would have a difficult time believing they actually worked for a federal agency. Ziva and Tony were dressed decently, actually more than decently, but Bishop and Torres look cheap and unclean. It's so disappointing. At least, Sloan, Vance, Palmer and Ducky are still dressed professionally and Kasie is dressed appropriate to her role. Sloan in fact has a wardrobe worthy of watching each week. Other facets of this show can be discussed - Ziva years vs. Bishop years or DiNozzo years vs. Torres years - but I personally needed to vent about the poor wardrobe and make-up!
