The CBS military legal drama “The Code” (9 p.m. Tuesday before moving to 9 p.m. Mondays on April 15, KDKA-TV) is a “JAG” reboot in all but its title and characters. The procedural court cases, military backdrop (U.S. Marine Corps instead of the Navy) and character relationships will all seem familiar to “JAG” viewers.

Based at Judge Advocate General HQ in Quantico, Va., the series follows the investigations/courtroom trials of Capt. John “Abe” Abraham (Australian actor Luke Mitchell, whose American accent never wavers), a Marine prosecutor who often faces off against defense attorney Capt. Maya Dobbins (Anna Wood) with whom he has clear chemistry for what producers surely hope will be a long-simmering, slow-to-blossom romance.

Dana Delany (“China Beach”), who deserves so much better, plays the tough-but-compassionate JAG commanding officer.

There’s not much to cracking “The Code,” which is a paint-by-numbers show if ever there was one.
