JAG Ratings & Reviews
- flavo43December 30, 2025When JAG first aired, I honestly wasn’t interested at all. The early seasons felt cheesy and unrealistic, military etiquette was often ignored, and the show relied heavily on recycled footage from classic Hollywood Navy action films. It felt more like a generic legal drama wearing a uniform than a serious military series. Everything changed around the third season. Once the show found its footing, received proper Defense Department support, and tightened its writing, the difference was obvious. The storylines became more grounded, the legal and military elements started to make sense, and the cast finally gelled into something believable and engaging. Characters gained depth, the cases felt more authentic, and the balance between courtroom drama and operational reality improved dramatically. Before I realized it, I had become a regular viewer. By the time JAG ended, I was genuinely disappointed to see it go. In hindsight, it laid the groundwork for the hugely successful NCIS franchise, proving that patience—and better storytelling—can turn a shaky start into a lasting success.
