What to expect in the NCIS: Origins series premiere

This is the story of a younger Gibbs as he joins NCIS for the first time. A recent sneak peek of the episode tells us that Gibbs is not suited for NCIS. He fails his psyche evaluation, and the director is not happy with that. However, Mike Franks knows that he has a good man on his team and he wants to give Gibbs a chance.

We’ll get to meet all the people Gibbs will work with. This series is set in the 1990s, so there will be some misogyny and some questionable storylines, but we have to remember the time. A show can’t avoid history just because it makes us uncomfortable.
