NCIS: LA - Gone but Not Forgotten (Hopefully)
So, the era of sun-kissed undercover ops and witty banter on the Californian coast has officially come to an end. NCIS: Los Angeles has bid its tearful adieu, leaving a gaping hole in our primetime schedules that’s about as big as the Pacific Ocean. Now, the question on everyone’s lips (or at least, on the lips of people who enjoy watching people in suits solve crimes) is: What on earth is going to fill that void?
The Search for a Worthy Successor
Let’s be honest, replacing a show like NCIS: LA is no small feat. It’s like trying to find a new best friend who is equally as cool, has better banter than you and your actual friends combined, and can somehow make solving crimes look effortlessly glamorous. Not easy, right?
We’ve heard rumors of everything from a CSI: Miami reboot (please, no) to a reality show about people who clean up crime scenes (intriguing, but probably not primetime material). But seriously, what we need is a show that captures the same spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and just plain coolness that NCIS: LA had in spades.
Potential Contenders?
While we wait for the networks to bless us with a worthy successor, let’s speculate wildly. Maybe a show about a team of underwater crime solvers? Or perhaps a group of astronauts who investigate murders in space? Okay, maybe those ideas are a bit far-fetched, but you get the point. We need something that's fresh, exciting, and capable of keeping us entertained for hours on end.
Until then, we can only hope that the powers that be are listening to our desperate pleas for a decent replacement. In the meantime, let's revisit our favorite NCIS: LA moments and try to avoid the inevitable existential crisis that comes with the end of a beloved TV show.
