NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Alleged (2014)
Bad writing undermines an important subject
Extremely disappointed by the writing on this episode. Sexual assault in the military is a very serious problem, but the ham-handed writing on this episode made it just painful to watch. Stilted dialogue and sermonizing made the entire episode a disgrace to the issue and the series. The lines for Director Vance were ridiculous, along with the watering eyes. Sexual assault in the military is a complicated issue that deserves a better platform than was presented by this episode. The entire episode came off as a poorly realized PSA. The use of "Abbie" was insulting to those military personnel who have been victimized. Overall, the heart was in the right place, but the execution was horrible. I hope the writing staff picks up their game or are replaced. NCIS has been on for 11 years and this year I have seen a lack of effort to produce the quality episodes that used to be the norm for the series.
