NCIS: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Gillian Flynn Entertainment Weekly Yes, NCIS, you too can make toss-off pop culture references. But are you really in a position to be snarky about Scott Baio? Just a thought.

Nick J Ncis is a great show for crime investigation, and season 3 is where it really takes off. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review David D We started watching this in 2022, and it is one of the best series we have ever enjoyed. Every episode is different, and they are not afraid to kill off some of the stars. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing how you forget how much happens so soon into a long-running show… A lot of what's happened only three series in, took place over a longer period in my head! Aaaand, THAT episode made me cry again - always has! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The writing this season becomes uneven for the first time as what could be an emotional intro is squandered for uncharacteristic, cheap, and sometimes disturbing sexual humor that occasionally shows throughout the season, but is offset by Cote de Pablo's fantastic Ziva David that improves upon the already outstanding cast, providing some of the best episodes of the show. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
