NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigation Service - Season 3
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), a former Marine gunnery sergeant, whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, formerly led this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), an ex-homicide detective who may come off as the world's oldest frat boy, but whose instincts in the field are unparalleled; forensic specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), a talented scientist whose dark wit matches her Goth style and eclectic tastes, NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), a former Moussad agent who shares a bond with Gibbs over the death of his arch nemesis, Ari, the terrorist who killed former NCIS Special Agent Kate Todd. Assisting the team is medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), who knows it all because he's seen it all, and he's not afraid to let you know. Rounding out the team is NCIS director Jennifer Shepard (Lauren Holly) who has a romantic history with Gibbs. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents travel the globe to investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

Not Naval CSI - Gregg
An intriguing procedural with a good cast an interesting premise and for the most part good stories.
The story revolves around a team of investigators working for the Naval Criminal Investigation Service which pursues cases that involve Navy or Marine personnel.
The show is not to be confused with the CSI franchise, NCIS does have a degree of forensics involved but there are also other more traditional avenues of investigation as well as struggles over jurisdiction and politics and some action.
Mark Harmon is really quite compelling as the enigmatic team lead Leroy Jethro Gibbs, but all the team members are well developed and realized. The standout of the supporting team is probably Abby (Pauley Perrette) the 'Goth' lab technician. Following the death of Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander) we have a new character in Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) a Mossad agent introduced in Season 2. I think both Caitlin Todd and Ziva David are effective characters in the ensemble, and I’m pleased the two characters are quite different but l didn’t find overall the episodes got particularly better or worse for the change.
The most consistent season thus far in terms of quality, the 2 standout episodes of the season for me were the first and last episodes probably because of the emotional content. The DVD set features a reasonably good set of Special Features that provide some insight into the shows creation for those that are interested.
One quibble with the show would be the occasionally unnecessary twist ending. Not every episode utilizes this approach and some of them work well but others definitely detract from the story in an effort to provide the audience with a surprise.NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigation Service - Season 3 - paulwren1
Naval Criminal Investigation Service - Season 3 is really good i now like to watch ncis more than csi now the storys are not as intreasting but lots of twists and turns they are always changing the characters and are not affraid to get rid of a main characters now and again.exciting new season with new characters! - tiredM
At first, I didn't think it could possibly work without Kate.. but, this 3rd season was incredibly fast paced, exciting and full of humour! Ziva, a Moussad agent is added to the team, and a new female NCIS director. We get a glimpse into each of the team member's pasts. The episodes are all very intense! Must see!
