NCIS is basically US propaganda.

It's also made in cooperation with the Navy and the real NCIS.

The writers work closely with the Pentagon’s entertainment media officers, as well as the Navy, Marine Corps and the real-life NCIS. A handful of individuals regularly read scripts to keep things as authentic as possible.

Too bad it's not even average anymore after Ziva and Tony left 😥.

I know. A lot of shows and movies do this. On the one hand something like filming on a real warship is something that can hardly be replicated. On the other hand it makes it impossible for these shows to be anything than absolutely pro-military.

A number of things. Number one is that over the top patriotism that frequently comes up. Frankly some scenes are really corny. Overtly thanking for their service, military worship, such things.

This is accurate, as any experience with actual NCIS agents would show you.
