NCIS often portrays forensics inaccurately. DNA matching is simplified, while real-life matching is complex. Abby’s role is exaggerated, real labs have many specialists.
The show quickly solves cases, unlike real investigations. Evidence analysis takes much longer than the show suggests.
NCIS agents eat at crime scenes, compromising evidence, which is unrealistic. The show’s portrayal of crime scenes and medical examiners doesn’t align with reality.
The show’s pinpoint timing of death is unrealistic, real experts can’t be so precise. DNA evidence is overemphasized.
Abby’s lab coat fashion is unrealistic. Real scientists wear sterile suits. The show exaggerates her role in investigations.
In summary, NCIS’s forensics often misrepresent reality.
