Premise

Led by Special Agent in Charge Dwayne Cassius "King" Pride, the New Orleans NCIS office handles cases from the Mississippi River to the Texas Panhandle. Living and working out of his office, Pride heads a small team consisting of Special Agent Christopher LaSalle a former sheriff's deputy, Special Agent Meredith Brody, and Special Agent Sonja Percy. LaSalle, a former police detective who was recruited by Pride from the New Orleans Police Department, is a ladies' man who lives and breathes law enforcement; Brody, a transfer from the NCIS Great Lakes field office, has worked as a Special Agent Afloat and is keen to leave her past behind as she moves to New Orleans; Percy is a former ATF Special Agent and the team's newest member who wants something more permanent than undercover work. The team is assisted by Dr. Loretta Wade, a forensic pathologist / medical examiner, and Sebastian Lund, a criminalist and forensic investigator assigned to the Jefferson Parish Medical Examiner's Office, and Patton Plame, an NCIS computer specialist and freelance agent.

Critical reception

In late September 2014, The Wrap's journalist Jason Hughes reviews the pilot episode of the series praising the music, the use of the city New Orleans, and on CBS' decision to cast Scott Bakula as "one of the most likable leading men in television, so they're set there."[29]

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the first season of the show a rating of 65%, based on 26 reviews, with an average rating of 5.4/10. The site's consensus reads, "With a solid cast in a beautiful locale, NCIS: New Orleans makes extending this well-worn franchise look like the Big Easy."[30] Metacritic gives the show a score of 55 out of 100, based on 15 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[31]

David Hinckley of the New York Daily News gives a mixed but critical review of the pilot episode in where there is a "Crescent City flavor here. But in the larger picture, not much on this menu is unfamiliar."[32] Liz Shannon Miller and Ben Travers of Indiewire said that NCIS is like "the obelisk in 2001: A Space Odyssey, it's an awe-inspiring, inescapable presence in the broadcast line-up. NCIS on CBS: It is here. It has always been here. It forever will be."[33]
