NCIS Season 23 has introduced a new antagonist who’s been stirring mixed reactions among fans. While viewers agree the villain’s actions are frustrating and their motives questionable, many longtime followers argue this season’s foe doesn’t rank among the show’s worst.
According to several entertainment portals, the latest villain lacks the chilling presence and complexity seen in previous NCIS baddies like Harper Dearing or Ari Haswari. Still, the character’s unpredictable behavior has added tension to the series, keeping audiences guessing week after week.
Critics note that while the writing surrounding this villain feels weaker compared to past seasons, NCIS remains strong in its ensemble performances and emotional storytelling – proving that even a less-than-iconic villain can’t sink one of TV’s longest-running cr1me dramas.
