Attention! NCIS: Los Angeles Binge-Watching Boot Camp!
Because frankly, catching criminals is fun, but catching up on 14 seasons? That's a whole mission in itself.
So, you've decided to dive headfirst into the high-octane world of NCIS: Los Angeles. Great choice! Just crack open a beverage of your choice (Hetty would approve of tea, but a margarita might be more your style), settle in, and get ready for explosions, undercover ops, and enough puns to make Sam Hanna groan (but secretly enjoy).
But where do you start? Don't worry, Agent Probé (that's probationary agent, for those not fluent in G-man lingo), this guide will have you navigating classified intel (aka streaming services) like a pro.
Mission Objective #1: Choosing Your Weapon (of Choice, for Streaming)
The world of streaming is vast, and options for NCIS: Los Angeles abound. Here's your intel on the top contenders:
- Subscription Squad: Platforms like fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV offer NCIS: Los Angeles as part of their channel lineups. Bonus: you can catch up on current episodes too! Just remember, these come with a monthly fee, so choose wisely, grasshopper.
- The à la Carte Agent: Feeling fancy? Some services like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play allow you to purchase individual seasons or episodes. Perfect if you just need a quick fix (or binge a specific storyline).
- The Free Agent (on a Quest): There aren't many free options out there, but some cable providers might offer NCIS: Los Angeles through their On Demand services. Worth checking with your provider, but don't get discouraged if it's a dead end.
Mission Objective #2: Patience is a Virtue (Unless It Comes to Cliffhangers)
Be warned, some seasons may not be available on all platforms. Fear not, fellow agent! A little online detective work (a.k.a. using a search engine) can usually point you in the right direction. Just be careful to avoid spoilers – those are classified information you don't want to access prematurely!
Mission Objective #3: Embrace the Binge (But Maybe Take Breaks for Snacks)
Alright, you've got your intel, you've chosen your weapon, now it's time to suit up and get this mission underway. Remember, patience is key (especially during those commercial breaks on cable reruns), but don't be afraid to power through – NCIS: Los Angeles is a marathon, not a sprint (unless you're chasing a rogue submarine, then sprinting might be appropriate).
Most importantly, have fun! NCIS: Los Angeles is a wild ride filled with action, humor, and enough characters to make your squad goals seem quaint. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and get ready to become a legend in your own living room.
P.S. If you start quoting Callen and Sam by the end of your binge, that's perfectly normal. Just try not to use those lines at your next family gathering. They might look at you a little weird.
