Picking
up at the explosive cliffhanger of Season
9 with the terrorist bombing NCIS HQ, with the recovery and rebuilding
their home NCIS falls under more dangers both internal and external. While still traumatized at how vulnerable they
are, they are haunted by their past and hounded by Homeland Security and is
questioning NCIS methods and effectiveness.

wars, but can they save themselves this time when the enemy their own
government?
This Tenth Season of NCIS takes on a whole new level of excitement and dangers. As they recover from their recent trauma they
continue to solve murders and mysteries related to the Navy. The NCIS team is made up of a group
of specialized law enforcement officers and forensic scientists, each
of them connected or related to some high ranking or high profile personal, and
more often causing them to clash with other intelligent services. They use unusual methods and often not too
legal ways when normal channels have failed, but this time Gibbs (Mark Harmon)
comes under fire when internal service is looking to scapegoat NCIS, the team
must pool together all their resources and connections to save their beloved
leader and their home.
NCIS is a great criminal detective Navy
murder mystery series, between various cases, there seems like always some
mystery or murder in the military, but the over all plot seems to also function
as a counter intelligent service. The
central character is Gibbs is cool and level headed, heart and soul, leader and
father figure as he leads his various eccentric teammates to help gather clues.
While the forensic science the series
isn't wrong, the speed in which they complete their task is ridiculous, (same
day results is unheard of) usually it takes days if not weeks and months to get
results.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 mixes on all
the episodes look as good as they are going to in this format. Extras include a ton of character facts,
series history, behind the scenes, audio commentaries, and deleted scenes.
