NCIS

NCIS
NCIS is a favorite show of mine with a quirky group of NCIS agents who investigate the death of marines and Navy officers as well as their families. Not only that but you get to learn about the investigators themselves as a whole. They are a good example of counteracting the racial and sex bias I had been writing about a lot which is why I thought a good refresher would be nice to restore faith and humanity. Despite this being a show I like I will be using evidence and analyzing this properly. NCIS is good when it comes to portraying their characters as Ziva, Kate and abby are all able to defend the,selves abby. Kate is shown to be strong from day one as she was the only women secret service agent and had no problem standing up to Gibs (leader of NCIS team. Ziva is also shown to be strong and independent first introduced as mossad's (Israel's strong secret agents) liaison officer to NCIS she is resourceful and almost unmatched in her fighting skills. Despite being the forensic scientist problem solving isn't abby's only skill as during one of the episodes she is able to stop her kidnapper before the rest of team arrives adding on to the respect that the team already had for her intelligence. Abby's character is also a great example of going against social norms and breaking through common stereotypes that are often used to label people. As she is described as being the happiest goth you will ever meet which goes against the stereotype of goths. Not only that but even though she's a scientist she loves legends, science fiction and the unexplained once again defying stereotypes as most scientist in movie's ar portrayed as people who only follow fact. The show does a great job at not stereotyping women but it doesn't do the same justice racially as before director vance who is an african american director of NCIS both his predecessors in the show were white. Ziva who is from Israel and is Jewish is also the most diverse out of the main team of Investigators as all the rest of them including her predecessor kate are white. They are staring to add more diverse character in there most recent seasons which shows that they are trying to make an active change to this. I highly recommend watching this show and commenting how you think the women and character's of color on this show are represented.
