‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ Trailer: Jane Tennant Impresses as She Leads Her Team (VIDEO)

Special Agent in Charge Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) just goes “where the case takes” her, she says in the newest NCIS: Hawai’i promo.

Tennant’s not just the first female special agent in charge — and first female lead in the NCIS franchise — but also was top of her class at FLETC and the only agent to receive the Medal of Merit three times. She is also a mother and cares about her team, evident by her insistence that “when anyone on my team is in trouble, I’m the first call.”

And it looks like at least one of her team — Kai Holman (Alex Tarrant) — is going to have to get used to that team-as-a-family mentality. “I thought this was just going to be a job, but I’ve realized that it’s a lot more,” he says.

Tennant also has an intriguing dynamic with Captain Milius (Enver Gjokaj), which we get a taste of in the new preview. “Robberies, murders, massive explosions, when exactly does the solving the crime part come?” he asks. Watch the trailer below for more from those two, the team, and the crime-solving (yes, it does happen) to come.

In the series premiere of NCIS‘s latest addition, an experimental Naval aircraft crashes on Oahu, and it’s up to Tennant and her team to figure out who’s behind it before classified state secrets are exposed.

    NCIS, in reality, is a joke. Not smart enough to be real Federal Agents and too cowardly to be street Cops, they gravitate to this JV squad and strong arm military service members who actually serve their country.

    OH PUHLEEZE no more NCIS unless they do one on Mars but I am sick of one succesful show like they did with Law and Order and then NCIS. I am so sick of this.

    And just like Hawaii 5-0 we are supposed to believe the little island of Oahu is the center of the world of crime, spies, corruption, and our heroes just like NCIS Los Angelse which I had to quit watching because it just became STUPID, can solve crimes the CIA, NSA, FBI, etc cannot because THIS NCIS is made up of the same SUPER BRILLIANT MINDS AND SUPER SHARP SHOOTERS.

    AND WORSE they have super computers which can see a totally blurry license plate from a satellite and it can straighten out the blurryness into perfectly legible reading. THEY solve crimes because THEY get JUST THE RIGHT CLUES. AND pick up on things the best criminal minds in all the investigative and intelligence agencies just never see.

    AND just like the rest , cops and agents and are the worst shots on Earth and do stupid things like stand out in the middle of the street to do a shoot out with the bad guys.

    BUT our heroes can hit a bad guy from 800 yards away. THAT is what makes these shows so DANGED STUPID.

    Showing how a NCIS team would really work is beyond the abilities of show writers so they dumb down everything for the flyover state residents and their ilk.

    Not to mention they never ever show where they are going accurately.

    I remember one show saying "We had better head to Koko Head...and they are shown on the North Shore.

    DUMB
