NCIS: New Orleans is Another Trip to the Well

CBS turns to established stars Scott Bakula and CCH Pounder in its latest sequel to TV's most popular show. The latest in CBS’ successful NCIS franchise features the New Orleans field office of the Naval Criminal Investigation Service, which examines crimes involving military personnel. Amid the scenic Cajun-jazz-and-gumbo backdrop of the Big Easy, Special Agent Dwayne “King” Pride heads up his team of investigators: hard-charging agent Christopher LaSalle, interrogator Meredith "Merri" Brody, and eccentric coroner Loretta Wade. Like NCIS, this procedural features some profanity and frequent references to and flashbacks of sexual crimes. It also contains limited but horrifically gory close-ups of autopsies and corpses in various stages of decay, along with traditional police-show shootouts and the like. NCIS: New Orleans premieres Tuesday, September 23^rd at 9:00 p.m. ET on CBS. Take a look yourself and tell us what you think in our comments below!
