Long-running series like NCIS can face challenges in keeping fans satisfied, and a few moments in the show left viewers less than thrilled.
Season 19’s introduction of new characters after Mark Harmon’s departure received mixed reactions. In Season 19, episode 9, “Collective Memory,” Special Agent Nick Torres’ attitude towards technology irked viewers.
Season 18 had its disappointments, notably in episode 10, “Watchdog,” where Gibbs’ uncharacteristic violent outburst raised questions.
Season 4 had an uncomfortable moment with Abby’s temper tantrum, while Season 6 featured cringe-worthy humor from Tony in “Deliverance.”
Season 14’s character Alex Quinn’s development felt rushed, and in Season 7’s “Obsession,” Tony’s behavior seemed out of character.
The lowest point for some fans was Season 9’s episode 6, “Thirst,” which featured an unrealistic romance with a serial killer, leaving viewers baffled.
While these moments frustrated fans, they don’t define the entire series.
