NCIS: Los Angeles

NCIS: Los Angeles is a live-action T.V. series by Shane Brennan about an NCIS team based in Los Angeles, California. It is a spin-off of NCIS. Like its predecessor, the team investigate major criminal offenses (murder, abduction, terrorist threats) involving the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Unlike its predecessor, NCIS: LA is more of a spy drama- every episode has at least one agent going undercover, and there are virtually no scenes of evidence being gathered or processed. The show is currently in its third season.

Characters
Warning: there may be spoilers ahead.

Like NCIS, NCIS: LA is primarily driven through the interactions between its characters. Any badfic that throws the characters OOC or makes them unprofessional (remember, they are trained federal agents!) should be noted as particularly horrible, and treated as such.
