NCIS fans are speaking out louder than ever, and many aren’t happy about Tony and Ziva’s highly anticipated return. While some viewers were thrilled to see the beloved characters reunite, others feel it’s a step backward for the long-running series. Critics argue that bringing them back takes attention away from newer characters and fresh storylines the show has been building in recent seasons.
Some fans have voiced frustration online, saying they’ve already had closure with Tony and Ziva’s arcs and fear their return could “ruin the legacy” of their story. “We’ve moved on,” one fan wrote, echoing the sentiment of others who believe the show needs to focus on the present, not the past.
Despite the backlash, producers remain excited about their comeback, hinting at major twists ahead. But with fans divided, it’s unclear whether this bold move will reignite love for the show or drive longtime viewers away.
