I like how they used compelling evidence to find out the murderer

Quite possibly the weakest episode so far.

[LegendaryFang56 · 6/10 · 30 October 2021]

The story was super straightforward in this episode, and honestly, a bit boring. There wasn't much excitement behind it. Even previous episodes that were weak had more excitement than this one did. But there were a few notable things, although the episode itself was also a bit boring.

For one, Timothy McGee showed up again in his second-ever appearance in the show. It was only a minor scene that he was in, but it was nice to see him a second time, though. I'm pretty sure he becomes a season regular in the second season. But, for some reason, I guess I wasn't expecting him to show up in this season again. Now that he has, it would be cool if he shows up one more time by the end of it.

And the banter regarding Tony's weight between him and Caitlin was good. As far as comedic bits are concerned, it was probably one of the weaker ones, but it was still good. This episode was carried by the characters and their interactions with each other, for sure.

Besides those two things, there wasn't much about this episode to make it super exciting and enjoyable. It was another weak one, quite possibly the weakest one so far. As I said at the start: the story was a bit boring. There was hardly any excitement, either. But I'm sure the next episode will at least be more enjoyable than this one; maybe not more exciting, but the show will get there.

Where is the horizon?

Um. I. In the first few minutes the horizon is not level in more than one scene. It is off kilter. I'm sure this is done for effect. But as a hobbyist photog, makes me crazy.

An average episode

[harrykivi · 5/10 · 18 August 2023]

"Left For Dead" was an underwhelming episode and "Eye Spy" seems to follow in the ways of "Left For Dead". It's not a terrible entry to the series, it is just a very average one.

Let's start with the good aspects.

. The production values of this episode are great as usual. The direction is solid, so is the music and the acting.

. There are humorous moments in the script, which are entertaining and suitably wry.

But...

. The story feels like a very basic NCIS case. What I mean by that, is that the episode is entertaining, but there is nothing particularly exciting about the suspects, the murder itsself or the ending, which I thought was quite cliched.

Overall, an okay episode.

5/10 HK.
