NCIS: Origins’ Worst Episode So Far Is Why the Show Can’t Live Up to the OG

NCIS: Origins has had its fair share of thrilling moments, but its latest episode has left fans feeling disappointed and questioning the show’s future. This particular episode failed to deliver on the high standards set by the original NCIS, with its convoluted plot, lackluster character development, and missed opportunities for suspense. It became clear that the show is still struggling to find its identity, and this misstep is a prime example of why it can’t quite live up to the legacy of the original series.

While NCIS: Origins has the potential to carve out its own space in the NCIS universe, episodes like this highlight the gap between what fans expect and what the show is currently offering. The original NCIS thrived on its compelling characters, clever writing, and high-stakes drama, setting a bar that’s difficult to reach. Until Origins can master these elements, it risks remaining in the shadow of its predecessor, unable to fully capture the magic that made the original so successful.
