The original NCIS TV series has been on the air for more than two decades, but some of its spin-offs have had far shorter runs. NCIS: Hawaii was cancelled after three seasons. How long will this newest entry last? Will NCIS: Origins be renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A police procedural and action series, the NCIS: Origins TV show stars Austin Stowell, Mariel Molino, Kyle Schmid, Tyla Abercrumbie, and Diany Rodriguez, with Mark Harmon as narrator. Recurring players include Daniel Bellomy, Caleb Martin Foote, Robert Taylor, Patrick Fischler, Julian Black Antelope, Tonantzin Carmelo, Lori Petty, and Bobby Moynihan. The sixth series in the NCIS franchise, this prequel follows the early days of Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Harmon). In 1991, Gibbs started his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office. He forges his place on a gritty, ragtag team led by seasoned leader and agent Mike Franks (Schmid). Other members of the team include Special Agent Lala Dominguez (Molino), a former Marine determined to stand out in a male-dominated field; Field Operation Support Officer Mary Jo Sullivan (Abercrumbie), aka the “Head Secretary in Charge”; and tough and no-nonsense Special Agent Vera Strickland (Rodriguez).

What do you think? Do you like the NCIS: Origins TV series on CBS? Are you glad it has been renewed for a second season?
I just started watching it this week. I use to watch the NCIS with Mark Harmon for years. I wasn’t sure what I would think about this but I have to say it’s not disappointing at all!!! Great cast, storyline, and love having it take place in 1991. You will not regret watching this show. I am happy it was renewed for a second season.

By far the best of the NCIS franchise. (All of which I’ve watched – every episode.) Nuanced, handles the Vietnam issues thoughtfully, and deals with real problems. Great cast. I don’t understand the references of other reviewers to offensive language. It seems realistic.
I like it, but lose the junk language. It’s just not nessessary.
I watched the show one time and was offended by the language used. Especially since it is aired during prime time when children are possibly watching
