Here’s my review of NCIS Los Angeles season twelve episode “Russia, Russia, Russia.” Please note that this isn’t a recap of what happens. I’m assuming that you’ve already seen the episode. There are spoilers in this review.

Stories of undercover agents, spies, and moles are not unfamiliar to NCISLA viewers. Over the years, we’ve seen the team use undercover work to their advantage to get information, and there’s been plenty of plots featuring moles and spies within various government organizations. So the plot of “Russia, Russia, Russia” isn’t very unexpected: Callen gets suspected of being a Russian spy and then the team flips the tables to try to find the actual Russian spy. But it’s the execution of the story which makes this episode one of the most entertaining of the season so far.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a Sam-centric episode. Often times, he plays the role of support as other characters’ personal storylines play out. Don’t get me wrong, LL Cool J plays wise, supportive Sam excellently. But every now and then, he deserves the spotlight as well. Unfortunately, “The Frogman’s Daughter” does not really live up to expectations.
