Sam and Nick

I love how they didn’t do the whole “partners who struggle to get along during the early episodes“ schtick and just skipped to them being bros.

They give off the perfect Buddy Cop routine. LL Cool J has a tendency to bounce off any of the actors they put him on screen with.

Scott Caan is doing a great job as Nick and I am not struggling to separate him from Danno as much as I thought it would be.

I think they went the right way by not making him the antagonistic whiner.

I was honestly expecting it to be a situation of Sam trying to push his way into the team and Nick being 100% against any sort of change to his team, but seeing him be the one to help Sam settle down in one place was a nice change.

But arrogant NCISLA Hanna. I can’t stand that character. Never got into LA because of his attitude.

I think it's so funny how we now have 2 characters in teams for the franchise that are named Nick we have Torres on the main show and now Scott's character here.

Wait until the crossover episode

Torres: "Your name is Nick too?"

The chemistry seems solid on NY already

They really seem to be good together, those little jabs/jokes about the other but still both still capable agents with their own skills and knowledge which the other respects.

I liked it but Nick is literally just Danny. Same mannerisms

The problem is licensing issues.

only thing I hate is that Hawaii five0 and ncis LA have directly crossed over

I haven't warmed up to it. Never watched LA. Saw Sam a few episodes on Hawaii, my favorite NCIS, before it got canceled. Sam and Danny were Robin to the shows Batman. I don't see a Batman in this one.

Has the show gotten better? Had to turn off episode one as the side characters are so boring

u/ThaDonJohn 3d ago

You shouldn’t really judge a show two episodes in. Of course the side characters are going to be boring at first. They’re still be developed. They haven’t truly figured out the characters yet.

NCIS LA from episode one had interesting characters.
