This was the second part of my picture recap for NCIS Los Angeles “Zero Days” [>> check the first part here <<], written by Andrew Bartels and directed by Tony Wharmby.

Again I must say I REALLY REALLY liked this episode… literally EVERYONE of the team had a (or several) moment(s) to shine… everything felt so naturally and smooth… though I know this show inside out this episode stood out for me in regards of the actor’s performance as well… and kudos to the entire crew for making the Afghanistan arc work like it did…
I’m definitely intrigued what next week’s episode will bring… and what the season finale arc will be…

Thoughts ?? Let us know in the comments…

Welcome to this week’s picture recap for NCIS Los Angeles “Zero Days” written by Andrew Bartels and directed by Tony Wharmby.

Since there was SO MUCH going on in this episode that I wanted to get in this review I decided to split it up between the LA storyline and the Afghanistan storyline.
