i’m finally doing the review of NCIS: Los Angeles

this is one of the comfort series that I watch and that feels like i’m a part of the family. the first time i watched it I was a little girl, recently I wanted to watch it again because I wanted to understand better the events and connect the dots. so here’s the review!

possible spoilers of NCIS: Los Angeles

the plot is one of my favorite, all the investigations are solved by a two persons-team formed by Special Agent G. Callen and Special Agent Sam Hanna, an ex navy-seal. The other team is formed, for the first season, by Special Agent Kensi Blye and Dominic Vail, a young operative agent who is killed in action during the first season, leaving Kensi Blye without a teammate and full of feelings of guilt. the spot is taken, in season 2, by Detective Marty Deeks, who make a liaison between LAPD and NCIS. He holds this position until departmental reforms in season 12 end up terminating it, after which he completes FLETC training and officially joins NCIS as an Investigator. Henrietta Lange is the leader of this office. In OSP, the team is completed by Operational Psychologist Nate Getz, and Technical Operator Eric Beale. Nate is assigned, after season 1, to different operations by Hetty, and returns only for occasional guest appearances. During the second season, Intelligent Analyst Nelly Jones joins the team, and forms an amazing team with Eric, until eventually the two of them become closer. during the remaining seasons a lot of people appears in the series, like Assistant Director Owen Granger, assigned to the team as oversight whit Hetty, who dies in season 8 after discovering he was ill with cancer (it coincide with real-life battle of the actor, Miguel Ferrer, who was ill with cancer and died). In season 9 Hetty goes to Vietnam on a personal mission, and her place is taken by Executive Assistant Director Pacific Shay Mosley, who is basically in search for revenge and almost get the entire team killed during a non-authorized operation. Later she sends the team and her trusted assistant, Special Agent Harley Hidoko, to Mexico, to rescue her son from her criminal ex-husband. the operation ends well, but her assistant remains killed during the op. The OSP is put under investigation and, at the beginning of the tenth season, Shay Mosley resigns. During season 11/12 Nell and Eric depart for the private sector, so the OSP recruited two rookies: Agents Fatima Namazi and Agent Devin Roundtree. Hetty leaves again so Admiral Hollace Killbride is assigned as Director of Special Operations in season 13. The series ends with Callen married to Anna, Kensi married to Deeks and finally pregnant, and Callen and Sam taking a side project mission to find and rescue Hetty, supported by a new team, including old teammates Nelly and Nate.

During the series:

Callen wants to figure out who his family was, because he grew up in foster homes. At some point he finds his father and his half sister, but their relationship is difficult.

Sam has to deal with the death of his wife, killed during a joined operation with CIA, leaving him with two children and a sense of guilt that never goes away.

Kensi and Deeks decide to adopt a girl from Mexico, and later they find out that Kensi is pregnant.

Hetty faces the difficulties of a life spent undercover.

In my opinion this series is one of the most tricky and challenging series i’ve ever watched. you want to watch episode after episode to discover what is going on. i literally devoured it, i liked it a lot. it’s worth the time you spend to watch it.

thank you so much for reading this review, i hope you like it and i hope you liked this series as i did!

it’s been a while since I’ve posted a review.

recently I’ve finished the series Quantico, NCIS Los Angeles and Designated Survivor.

soon I’ll do a review of each of them.

i just finished the sixth season of SWAT and let me say, this series is amazing i loved every single moment of this season. it never disappoints, nothing is too much, not a single thing ruined, i’m really happy atm.

possible spoilers of SWAT:

so let’s start saying there was a little lack in the plot. Chris not being there was sad, but i think Powell was a very interesting personage, and i’d love to know more about her. i hope the next season shows us her reconnection with her child, because she deserves to be happy; another thing i’d like to see is Tan with a girl that finally loves his, not that cheating girl that doesn’t deserves a thing. Street’s relationship with Chris is strange to immagine because there isn’t any scene of them together, so it was a little bit strange, and hearing they’re going to move in together… i don’t know man, i’m not sure what it’s going to happen. i also would like to see more scene of Commander Hicks with Maggie, i want them to be a real couple because with all the thing they’ve been through, they deserve to be happy. i didn’t get why at some point they stopped to show us the relationship between Luca and her sister Eva, i get that they didn’t have the best relationship, but why putting her personage away? i’m so happy Hondo and Nichelle finally had their baby, and are going to be married, i like them so much. Deacon’s personage it’s pretty much basic, it’s always the same every season, the best father you could ask for, the best husband, a great officer… boring after some time i guess, but i still like him after all. one thing i didn’t get is this switch between Powell and Cabrera, at some point i was lost, i didn’t understand who was who, what they were doing, which was the role for the two of them… completely lost :’).

in conclusion, this series is wonderful, i really like it, and this season was amazing. i know i’m gonna miss them all when it’s going to be over, but i’m glad i followed this series from the very beginning

i’m here to say that i started the sixth season of SWAT and i’m pretty sure i’ll finish it in a couple of days, so stay tuned for the review :)

see ya!

the first two or three episodes were boring af, i literally enjoyed only the scenes where Adam, Jackson or Ruby appeared. let me say that i can barely stand Otis, Maeve and Eric, so i didn’t enjoyed that much half of the season (lmao) so i’m not gonna mention them, i just want to say that they’re all been so selfish and didn’t care about their loved ones: Otis was too much into becoming the only educator in school, Maeve was focused on staying in america and the funeral of her mom, and Eric was too focused on being accepted into the popular group; but anyway, let’s move on: i liked a lot how they handled the relationship between Adam and his family, in fact i cried watching every scene where Adam was in (yes i’m a bit ashamed ahah). another thing i liked was the personage of Jackson: he was always there for Viv, he tried his best to protect her. but i didn’t like how they handled the situation with Cal, it was like he was so distant and he didn’t care at all about them, it was sad to watch. the personage of Ruby had a lot of potential, but they decided to put her aside and give her the role of “manager” which was very marginal for the story. the new personages were so useless, except for the deaf girl; yeah i mean, they had a role, but idk they didn’t convinced me at all. another thing that didn’t convinced me at all was the school, i mean, where do you find a so perfect institute? and how come that the only problem is the elevator that is not working? please tell me where LOL :) it was definitely too much perfect and visionary. the last words are for the personage of Jean, she’s been everybody’s mom for a while, and i’m so happy that she find the power to ask for help, and her sister too, finally they can be together and be happy and have therapy!!! that’s amazing.

i guess i’ll miss every personage of this series a little bit, but their journey went too far away for me, this is the perfect final for them, nothing has to change.

yes i know it’s been a while since i posted anything here, but i was so busy i didn’t have time to watch something new.

a little recap:

i started uni;

i am about to finish “Scorpion” a tv series i found so nice, i like it;

i’m actually watching the last season of “Sex Education”;

i didn’t watched the last season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” because it doesn’t attract me in any possible way, so i don’t know what to do;.

i still have to watch the last episode of “Outer Banks” (idk why i didn’t watched it, i guess it was annoying me so much);

i guess this is it. in the next days i think i’ll be able to do a review of the last season of “Sex Education”, and i’m a little bit sad that this is the last season, but on the other hand i prefer this way because i don’t want them to ruin it (again).
