I first saw JAG back at the start of Channel 5, & enjoyed pretty much everything I saw of it. Season 1 sets up the premise nicely & it is hard to believe that NBC cancelled the show. Fortunately, CBS picked it up, & a further 9 seasons showed what a wise decision that was.
The pilot episode is superb, with the great Terry O'Quinn as the CAG, & most of the rest of the season is fine, but it is let down by some real stinkers such as Déjà Vu, War Cries & The Prisoner. Set against that though are some great shows such as Shadow, Scimitar & any of the episodes with the incredible Andrea Thompson as the scheming & super-sexy Commander Krennick. It's also worth noting that for the sake of continuity, the episode Boot should be watched after the episode Defensive Action, or Harm's promotion & some of the other comments at the start of Boot don't make sense. Similarly, the season closer Skeleton Crew ends on a cliff hanger that is completely ignored at the start of the second season (a casualty of the aforementioned change from NBC to CBS). I understand though that there is some form of closure offered in an episode in Season 3. It is a shame though that the extras on the Region 1 release have not been carried across to this version.
All in all, if you like NCIS, you will enjoy JAG, particularly this first season. Well worth buying & watching.

I first came across JAG on Hallmark a few years ago, tho' they've stopped showing it now. Donald P. obviously has very influential friends because the locations are genuine (either that or his FX team are the best on the planet) which makes the show more interesting and dynamic.
Some of the characters are so stereotypical (surely not ALL officers smoke huge cigars?) and some of the dialogue is cliched but it's so visually stunning (and their uniforms are so clean and sharp) that you're prepared to forgive these lapses. Worth every penny - particularly compared to current UK TV.

Just Action Guarenteed
I've seen some episodes from later seasons of JAG and they can be more like Law and Order with a Navy storyline, but this first season is all about the action. Read more
