NCIS: New Orleans was the most-watched freshman show of the 2014-15 TV season. This Tuesday, the show returns with its second season. CBS has sent us a screener of the season premiere, so here's an exclusive preview and some teasers of the episode.
The season premiere is a very strong start to the next season and I also see it as an improvement from season 1. The episode moves at a quick pace, but also allows for various character moments in-between the action. The storyline is exciting and there is a good build-up of the tension throughout the episode. There are hints that the storyline is far from over when the episode ends, and I must say I'm pretty intrigued to see how it continues. If the writers can keep up with the quality of the season premiere, this season promises to be a good one.
A few other teasers from "Sic Semper Tyranis":
-Shalita Grant and Daryl Mitchell have both been promoted to series regular. While Mitchell's Patton Plame has been around quite a few times last season, Grant's Sonja Percy kind of changes the team dynamics. For the good, that is.
-We see some photos from a young Brody that seem to indicate a future storyline.
-It is mentioned that LaSalle is still grieving over the death of his girlfriend Savannah.
-Pride's divorce is finalized and that inadvertently lands him with a big sum of money. What will he do with that?
-Grammy Award-Winning Artist Dr. John guest stars in this episode and also performs.
-The title refers to the words John Wilkes Booth supposedly shouted after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln. Make of that what you will.
Below is a promo for season 2. You can watch the premiere Tuesday, September 22 at 9/8c on CBS immediately following NCIS.
