I watched the first few episodes on Paramount+ and couldn't get into it. It feels a bit like a cheap knock-off of the "NCIS" shows, especially since the team isn't an "NCIS" team but a local AUS police team with a single NCIS agent joining them. I'm a bit surprised that it wasn't about an actual NCIS team based at one of the US military compounds like Pine Gap and dealing with US military operations in the area. If the goal was to make it a true AUS based show then doesn't the AUS military have a corresponding investigative branch that the show could've been modeled on?

it is different from the other NCIS shows but seems cool so far. I like blue so far.

I wasn't impressed with the first episode as the characters weren't really likeable to me and didn't seem to have any redeemable traits in my opinion, but the next couple episodes seemed to grow on me. I haven't come to the point where I must watch new episodes as I have with the other installments. We will see how it goes.
