Someone else had a similar experience. "I watched an episode before I took a nap this afternoon and have been doing this same thing for weeks.

Generally, Netflix releases a list of titles coming and going each month, so it's possible that the users who are having issues accessing the show are experiencing a glitch. However, many have speculated that their deal for the show has run out and the platform is now slowly rolling out an update to remove it from its library.
CBS, the US network which NCIS airs on, launched its own streaming service titled CBS All Access back in 2014, which was rebranded last year to Paramount+. In 2020, two other popular CBS series - Hawaii Five-O and Blue Bloods - left Netflix and moved to the channel's own service, and the same could now be happening with NCIS.

Long-time viewers might want to mark that in their diaries as for the last 18 years, the show has been holding down the network's 8pm Tuesday slot.
