 NCIS: Hawaiʻi
comment
NCIS: Hawaiʻi is the fourth series in the Bellisarioverse airing on CBS and a spin-off of NCIS. It premiered on September 20th, 2021 with two seasons. It's airing the third season as of 2024, reported to be the last season.The show is different from most NCIS shows since its first episode doesn't tie in with the others, making it stand alone. This is later done with NCIS: Sydney.The series follows Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents who work out of the Pearl Harbor Field Office, Hawaii, run by Special Agent in Charge Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey), the first female in the office. Jane's team consists of recent returnee Kai Holman (Alex Tarrant), second-in-command Jesse Boone (Noah Mills), junior agent Lucy Tara (Yasmine Al-Bustami), and cyber intelligence specialist Ernie Malik (Jason Antoon). Like its predecessors, the team investigates military crimes and national security issues, and is assisted by Kate Whistler (Tori Anderson), a Special Agent from the Defense Intelligence Agency who later joins the FBI halfway in the first season.Watch the trailer here.

comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Vlad Sokolov's death in "Serve and Protect" mirrors the downfall of Yevgeny Prigozhin. The Sokolov's arms business being taken over by Dmitri is (a bit) coincidental to his son, Pavel, after he took over command of Wagner.note Prigozhin is known to have two daughters.

Artistic License – Linguistics: In "Gaijin", Jane addresses Commmander Tanaka as "Nisa Tanaka" in Japanese. This is incorrect because you address someone with a rank in Japanese with the last name, followed by the rank. In this case, it would be "Tanaka Nisa".

 NCIS: Hawaiʻi / int_46f3f271
comment
From Camouflage to Criminal: An armored truck is robbed by a heist crew using military grade weapons, explosives and tactics in "Boom". NCIS is assigned to the case because the robbers might be active duty military personnel. It turns out that they are former special forces soldiers led by an ex-SAS operator.

Wire Dilemma
 NCIS: Hawaiʻi / int_55f92df9
comment
Wire Dilemma: Played with in "Boom". When helping to disarm a bomb vest, the explosives experts lampshades the fact that with a modern bomb you can't just cut a wire or two. You need to reroute the circuit and isolate the power sources. The situation is then complicated by the fact that the wiring for the bomb is a tangled mess. The bomb is a fake with no explosives and deliberately complicated wiring, intended to distract the cops.

Meaningful Name: The episode "Boom" refers to a Marine Jane knows whose nickname is Boom. It's also a reference to the sound made by explosives, especially TNT and C4. The episode 'Recruiter' refers to a Navy recruiter trying his best to get a troubled teen to join the US Navy. The episode "Paniolo" refers to Hawaiian cowboys. The episode "The Tourist" refers to the female victim who's supposedly kidnapped, who happens to be a social media influencer. Except she's not and she's a trained CIA agent meant to use her influencer identity to help potential defectors head to a third country.

comment
Five-Man Band: The pilot quickly establishes what each member's role is. Jane Tennant is the headstrong, levelheaded Special Agent in Charge of NCIS: Pearl who leads investigations and smooths things out when things get rough between agencies. Jesse Boone is Jane's confidant and second-in-command who shows a much looser, dynamic personality towards his teammates. Lucy Tara is an Action Girl who's still trying to find her spot on the team, showing the most balanced personality of the four agents. Ernie Malik is NCIS Pearl's cyber intelligence specialist, capable of analyzing and hacking into complicated systems at a moment's notice. Kai Holman is the team's newest addition, trying to understand the dynamics of the team despite having little intention of joining NCIS at first.

Thought They Knew Already: When Nick Torres comes on a mission, in 'T'N'T', he gives a big talk to the team on "clearing the air" on the rumors they've heard of him and Jane on a mission years ago, insisting nothing happened and the truth behind her odd nickname. It's only when he's done and seeing their blank looks that Torres realizes the team hadn't heard a single word of any of this (with Boone implied to be the third person fully aware of the incident), leaving them looking at a very embarrassed Jane.

Jurisdiction Friction
 NCIS: Hawaiʻi / int_c2676b00
comment
Jurisdiction Friction: Jane Tennant and Captain Joe Milius argue over who has jurisdiction when they first meet, but Jane is clearly in charge and they quickly figure it out. Jane also finds herself in trouble with Kate Whistler, a special agent from the DIA from time to time whenever it's involved the DIA or the CIA. Averted when the team is brought in to deal with an armored truck robbery which would normally be handled by the local cops or the FBI. NCIS is brought in because the robbers might be potentially tied to the Navy. The other law enforcement groups hand over the case without on-screen grumbling. The case is quickly confirmed to be in NCIS jurisdiction because the explosives used were stolen from the Navy via Kaho'olawe, where WWII-based explosives are being cleared out by USMC units. In "Gaijin", the NCIS team butt heads with an inspector from the Okinawa Prefectural Police's Criminal Investigation Department. He was searching a suspect's residence without notifying the proper authorities and he wasn't doing it in an official capacity. Justified as the OPP in Japan didn't make any significant steps to find a major suspect, but they accused someone else instead.
