I love, love LOVE this show. The chemistry between the cast is so awesome. You can tell they like and respect each other behind the camera, and it reflects on camera in solid team bond - no matter how they pair off for work, I always enjoy it and there's always a good story between them. Having a main cast of all people of color is just so awesome, esp since they're also all so talented. I always liked Tennant, but she snuck up on me with how much I love her, b/c she is such a subtle character - quietly strong, quietly funny, it took a couple of eps but I just ADORE HER, especially since I have never liked the renegade, off the books my way or the highway team lead NCIS seems to be fond of, so I love Jane Tennant. I love how family oriented Jesse is, but also the sneak peeks into his past as a DC cop and how it might give him some hangups. LUCY IS MY FAV - she's so beautiful and funny and I love watching her (not to mention I love her relationship w Kate). Seeing prickly Kai grow into accepting love and family again is being done so well and it's just a joy. And Ernie! I love the way he is un-apologetically himself and the team treats him with absolute respect. It's very obvious they know exactly who this characters are before they stepped on camera for the first time, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes! This is definitely my new comfort show :)
