NCIS - Season 10 [DVD]

I have been a fan of this series from the very beginning when it aired as a 2 part pilot on the CBS series JAG. NCIS - has succeeded in lasting 10 years, same as it's predecessor JAG and I'm looking forward to season 11 starting this fall. Just when I thought they couldn't top the season 9 cliff hanger with the explosion of a car bomb outside the NCIS offices in the Washington DC Navy Yard and leaving us thinking that Duckie had been killed suffering a massive heart attack at the shock of learning the team and many other occupants of NCIS might have been killed by a car bombing, they have a 2 part episode in the middle of the season killing off ZIva's father, the Israel Musaud leader Eli David and and the wife of the NCIS director which leads up to the hunt of the assassin by Ziva who in her heart wants revenge for the death of her father. She finds and kills the person responsible which leads up to an outside investigation which has us believing they are after Ziva when in the end it turns out to be a cover up and the person they are after is team leader Leo Jethro Gibbs. This also leads up to the surprise visit of former JAG commanding officer Admiral AJ Chegwedden who is no longer working at JAG but is now a high price high power attorney and who would be best to help with the defense of GIbbs. This is a top notch series and the cast is top notch with Mark Harmon as Gibbs who not only is the lead character but also a co producer of the show, and a top notch supporting cast Michael Weatherly as ever wize cracking and movie efficianado Anthony DiNozzo, Cote de Pablo as former Israeli Mossad Assassin Ziva David brought in to replace agent Caitlin Todd who was killed by Ziva's half brother at the end of season 2, Sean Murray as the MIT computer geek Timothy Mcgee, Pauley Perette as the goth, tattoo bearing and very savvy Forensic Specialist Abby Sciuto, Rocky Carrol as NCIS Director Leon Vance who came in after season 5 to replace the former director Jenny Shepard after her death, David McCallum as the chief medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, and Brian Dietzen who plays Ducky's medical assistant Jimmy, both in the field and in the morgue. This show came along at a time when CSI was running strong in the ratings and I have a gut fealing that NCIS will out last CIS because of the great stories and the raport between team members, and believing and following Gibbs rules, the drama and the humor with the wake up head slaps. This is not only a top notch investigative team but also a family that I have grown to love in the 10 years this show has been on. I don't know what I will do when this show finally comes to an end. I fully believe it will be when the cast and producers decide it's time to end it and not failing ratings that will kill this show as it is consistently in the 10 ten ratings week after week and reruns of the show are run almost daily on cable USA network. In my opinion NCIS is the best series on TV because of the ever developing characters and I can only wish that we might see NCIS continue on for another 10 years. Anything is possible. I keep thinking they are going to come up with another spin off of the series with the Coast Guard Criminal Investigative Service since they've had the re-curring character played by a former cast member of Law and Order SVU Diane Neal. Hey she's a red head, she's got a personality like Gibbs...I'm thinking there is a possible match there.

WARNING! This review contains SPOILERS! Proceed at your own risk…“NCIS” has always been one of my favorite TV shows. I like it so much that I now own every season on DVD. Not long ago, I watched all 24 episodes of “NCIS” Season 10 in the span of about a week. I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them.“NCIS” is, of course, the long-running police procedural that is inspired by the real-world Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), the civilian-run law enforcement agency of the U.S. Navy. The show, which follows a fictional team of NCIS Special Agents, has (to date) completed 13 seasons on CBS. Season 10 ran from September 2012 to May 2013.As Season 10 opens, the very first order of business is to resolve the “cliffhanger” from the Season 9 finale. Who on Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs’s Major Case Response Team survived the bombing of NCIS headquarters by arch-nemesis Harper Dearing? Did NCIS Medical Examiner "Ducky" Mallard die after suffering a heart attack? We learn that everyone is alive, but what remains uncertain – and what is slowly and skillfully revealed as the season progresses – is what the long-term effects of the bombing are on our protagonists…Thus begins one of the most intense and dramatic seasons of “NCIS” that has appeared in several years. Several of Season 10’s episodes interweave each team member’s personal struggle to recover from the bombing with many new and intriguing cases they must investigate. Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard begins a long and difficult road back to full health after his heart attack; and forensics expert Abby Sciuto’s nightmares force her to confront her worst fears…Two multi-episode story arcs make Season 10 especially fascinating. An assassination attempt on Agent Ziva David’s father creates an international incident and results in the murder of a team member's loved one. During the ensuing investigation, Ziva begins behaving erratically while tracking down a suspect in the case. Against this backdrop, an over-zealous agent from the Department of Defense Inspector General’s office suddenly arrives at NCIS headquarters and announces that Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs is now under investigation for possible criminal activities…I don’t think there’s a weak or mediocre episode anywhere to be found in “NCIS” Season 10. In fact, I can say with confidence that I believe the tenth season of “NCIS” is so consistently outstanding that it ranks among the finest in the long history of the show. Highly recommended.

My purchase arrived on time and the packaging was perfect. No issues with playing the DVD. Great customer service and pricing.

The DC gang is the best.

I own all 10 seasons on DVD. I used to buy them at a local bookstore that gave a discount, but they went out of business. I was upset about that, but then I found them on Amazon with a very similar discount. Now I just pre-order it and it shows up when it's out. I love that!NCIS is an amazing police drama. Mark Harmon is Gibbs, the boss. Michael Weatherly is Tony DiNozzo, senior field agent, and Sean Murray is Probie-Timothy McGee. In the first two seasons Sasha Alexander as Caitlin (Kate) Todd was a part or the team. Seasons 3-10 Cote de Pablo was Mussad liaison/probationary NCIS agent Ziva David. Pauley Perrette is Abby Scioto(?sp?), the goth forensic scientist. David McCallum and Brian Dietzen work in autopsy(Ducky and Jimmy Palmer).The first two seasons, the NCIS Director was Tom Morrow, who we rarely saw and I don't know the actors name. Season 3-5 the NCIS Director was Jenny Shepard, played by Lauren Holly and we saw a lot of her as the Director became a more integral part of the storyline. Season 6-now (11), Rocky Carroll is Director Leon Vance and he is often an integral part of the story as well.The basic premise is find dead body, put together the clues, find the killer- with the occasional terrorist threat, assess, find terrorist, arrest or shoot terrorist. Your basic cop drama right? But the stories are very well written and the characters/actors work so well together.If you are an NCIS fan you know this is worth having. If you've never seen NCIS, I highly recommend buying it- but start with season 1.

As above, Gibbs and the team a perfect blend

Thanks to these DVDs that I bought for my husband, I now love to watch NCIS. It is an intelligent series with all the excitement that comes from solving cases. The characters played by the cast interact SO well- from Gibbs who, although a father figure for members of his team, is a woman magnet, to the sexual tension between Ziva and Tony, to Abby's quirky genius, to Dr. Mallard's and Jimmy's interesting solving of cases as well as their interaction with the rest of the characters and, yes, even Probie's "neediness," makes for a perfect team. I bought the DVDs of four seasons of NCSI and intend to buy the others. What I also love about this series is that there are no blasphemies not gratuitous sex scenes. This is an awesome series.

Love ncis but the stories some time are a bit jumbled. Ie. a character will leave the show and a few episodes later they are back as if nothing happened. But I still love it

Qui n'aime pas ce Leroy Gibbs le fusilier (Mariner) avec le coeur d'un père mais une discipline de fer? Et les autres: DI Nozzo, le playboy amoureux de la belle agent Ziva qui tout le monde admire la force et la intelligence? (six langues, c'est une chose très difficile a etudier pour une femme si jeune!). La jolie Abby, le serieux McGee, le bon Dr. Mallard et se sympa adjucteur sont très bonnes et je adore tous eux! Bonnes épisodes, beaucoup de drama et une tragédie de consequences incompreensibles. Vite, achetez cette saison pour votre vacances! Elle est trop bonne!

Et 16 ou 17 saisons de NCIS pour tenir le confinement...Je ne me souviens plus mais il y a quand même un coup de mou entre les premières saisons et les dernières. Une petite lassitude des scénaristes ?
