But, Gibbs is the least compelling character on the show. Maybe I just see things in a different light, but the only thing that separates this from a big standard police procedural is watching all the other characters try to deal with the fallout from Gibb’s standard issue most-tragic-backstory-ever trauma and solving the mystery of why he hasn’t been shuffled off to a desk job where he can’t do much harm yet.

All of the supporting characters had more depth, development, and more relatable back stories.
