NCIS returned with its highly anticipated Season 22 spring premiere, but instead of delivering the thrilling, high-stakes episode fans were hoping for, it fell flat with a lackluster filler plot. What was expected to be an exciting return after the midseason break ended up being a disappointing placeholder, wasting the potential to reignite the showβs momentum.
Fans had been eagerly waiting for NCIS to pick up steam, but the episode failed to deliver. The pacing was slow, the stakes were minimal, and there was little progress in the ongoing storylines. What could have been a game-changing return simply played it safe and left viewers underwhelmed.
Wasted Talent: CSI: NY Star Gets Shortchanged
One of the episode’s biggest letdowns was the complete underutilization of a CSI: NY alum, a talented actor known for their strong presence in crime dramas. This veteran performer, who should have added depth and intensity to the story, was instead relegated to a forgettable, underdeveloped role. The character lacked any real substance, and ultimately, the actorβs talents were squandered, leaving fans to wonder why such a recognizable face was brought in for such a minor part. It felt like a major missed opportunity for both the actor and the show.
