NCIS: Los Angeles: Ninguna Salida (2018)
Different show.
Another reviewer mentioned "popcorn TV" about NCIS LA and I pretty much agree - I watch it on weekday evenings when I want something light-hearted and not too taxing and usually enjoy it and don't care that it's not realistic. I haven't enjoyed all storylines this season, but this 2 episode finale has definitely hit a new low.
Here's my main issue: a big part of what usually makes NCIS LA enjoyable are the characters and their interactions, and its light comedy mood.
Instead, here we had an ominous mood right from the start, and nothing was believable because the characters didn't act like themselves.
Mosley has been a bit ambivalent this season, but gradually warmed up to the team and showed herself to generally be a decent boss. Here she undergoes some sort of personality transplant and loses all ability for rational thought and is willing to break all rules and put everyone around her at risk.
Next we've got Sam also acting uncharacteristically - he's acted rashly in past episodes, but when he had personal reasons to do so. Not here.
Then Kensi and Deeks - while this had been developing, well actually this had been developing so why was Kensi so surprised? And Deeks's insistence and negative thoughts were just so heavy handed that they also felt out of character in spite of the previous episodes.
Callen was probably the only one keeping in character - and we already had some sort of cliffhanger with Anna in the last ep. so I guess he'll get to live.
Even Hetty was a bit out of sorts - she knows this can't end well, they all know it can't end well - so why are they going through with it anyway?
Then some inconsistencies in the story itself - much time gets devoted to "OMG Mosley has gone to Mexico - what stupid thing is she gonna do now?". But then the only thing we see her do in Mexico is being in that helicopter and collecting her son. Well worth the build up then...
I didn't mind the crazy "let's take the kid out on a horse" strategy - that's very much the kind of lighthearted nonsense that I expect from NCIS LA and which makes it entertaining.
But all the ominous buildup towards the conclusion was so heavy-handed and at-odds with what the show's like usually.
Half expecting Deeks to wake up from this most dreadful nightmare for the start of season 10.
