"Code of Conduct" is the first "NCIS" episode in this season, which is not very good. It's not an awful entry to series, but still a very mediocre one.
Let's start with the good.
. The production values of the episode are great. "Code of Conduct" is well-directed, the music fits the scenery. Quite liked the performances.
. The story is entertaining at times. The jokes are fine, so is the solution (even though there is nothing new in killing for money.)
But....
. The mystery is extremly formulaic, there aren't a lot of original ideas in the script. There are aspects of the case, which take too much time to figure out. The story doesn't have enough twists and turns, would have liked to feel the atmosphere of Halloween.
Overall, not so good.
4/10 HK.
