The cast is excellent. The writing is catchy and interesting. Both of the lead actresses deserve 10 stars and then some. That kind of chemistry between two disparate characters is grounds for a lot of fun - and it delivers.

We're not supposed to notice the direction and the camera, yet I almost can't watch due to the very stupid choices there. Knock knock, excuse me, but could we put the camera ON THE ACTORS? Whose "I'm so creative and edgy" idea was it to have an actor speaking while the only part of them in frame is the top of their head or their ear, or just the window next to them?????? It's exhausting and distracting and does not in any way provide anything useful to the storytelling.

An exhausting indulgence of pretty but irrelevant visuals. Clearly the graphics nerd budget was many times higher than the research and education budget.

It contains teases of exciting data and uses, but almost nothing to explain how they came to the conclusions and what we can do with them.

As a bonus we get to listen to many people talk about how much they love the data and the mushrooms, along with an unnecessary review of our ridiculous drug laws. The rest of this paragraph is to satisfy the stupid minimum character rule that IMDB puts on reviews because the internet people apparently aren't long winded enough! 😊

Who doesn't love a good hostage situation? It's a good episode with a hostage challenge and a piggyback "I was framed" story.

My only beef, and it's a big one, is the writing regarding the VA healthcare. "With the VA backlog" they couldn't get immediate mental healthcare. That's PATENTLY not the truth. The VA has its scheduling issues at some facilities, which is why there's the Community Care system. But in no way do they allow a person with mental health or suicidal thoughts go without care.

I'm sick of non-veteran writers perpetuating this nonsense. Shame on you NCIS LA staff for not doing the research.
