Day 08 → A show everyone should watch
This may seem like a bit of a cop out since it is already either the most watched US show overall or at the very least most watched drama but I picked NCIS as a show I think everyone should watch. If there's one thing that there seems to be a gluttony in TV these days is with the action dramas (especially on cable channels) so if you're already watching several I can understand a reluctance to add another show to the mix. I only started watching NCIS in the last few months and I think it's safe to say I've already seen more than a handful of seasons worth of episodes (thanks to USA's weekend marathons) and know the characters fairly well to say the least.
And what NCIS gets right is to balance the "crime of the week" with rounding out the characters and creating a family atmosphere among the team that really has you endeared to the characters. Gibbs, the grizzled marine vet turned head agent with the hidden past of his dead wife and child. Ducky, the veteran medical examiner who talks to his autopsy subjects and recollects the most unique tales from his past. Abby, the eccentric lab tech that can find any answer needed as long as she gets her caffeine fix. Tony, the movie buff horndog that is the most reliable when he's needed. McGee, the geek of the squad with a heart of gold and the brains to go with it. And Ziva, the former Mossad agent who is the deadly exotic muscle on the team. I just love this show!
