Hawaii Five-0

Hawaii Five-0 is a pretty entertaining police that's based off the original show. It's a fun and fast paced police procedural that gives you everything you want in a cop show that can just waste some time for you. They show Hawaii to be as beautiful as ever. I never watched the original Hawaii Five-0 because it was on before I was born therefore I can't compare the two but this newer one is really good in its own right and is absolutely worth watching! The entire cast does an incredible job. The only bad part of this show is the ending. They had to rush it because of COVID so they couldn't give it the ending they intended. If you're looking for a really fun police procedural that will keep you engaged throughout the series than this is the show for you.

Admittedly a bit campy but the show is worth watching. Nothing intellectually challenging but it has character development and the story line is typically engaging.

Let's start with arguably the best and most recognized TV score of all time. If the producers want to use the original theme song, then why shorten it? It reminded me of the truncated TV tunes of re-runs in syndication.

Now for the pilot episode. I thought it odd that Hawaii 5-0 would open with a scene in South Korea. It's like stumbling out of bed in the morning not exactly sure what you're going to do that day.

There are also seemed to be to much gun play and not enough acting. The dialog and some of the background setup (Danno's family situation, for example) was a bit too cliché. Some of the personal background could be better developed over time rather than cramming it into one episode while chasing the bad guys.

The overall storyline for the pilot was excellent, though. It gave background to 5-0's beginnings and it maintained a certain consistency and plausibility with TOS while adding the dimension of McGarrett and his father.

Some of the dialog resulted in an approving chuckle from me.

The episode began to gel about 2/3 in and by the end of the show, I felt comfortable with the main characters and looked forward to the next chapter.

Show is gone from action to fantasy rather.Without Daniel and Grace Show won't be ever the same.End is near for Hawaii Five O.

This show feels like the antidote to all those forensic, gritty, supposedly realistic crime dramas out there today. Hawaii 5-0 2010 is no crime drama, and it's not meant to be. It's also not its father, and anyone looking for a straight remake of the original classic is setting themselves up for disappointment. It's an old-fashioned cop show, the concept updated for today's audience, but with story lines that Starsky & Hutch would be proud of, providing a few more car chases down box-strewn alleyways were thrown in. It's Die Hard for the small screen - John McClane would fit right into the new 5-0 unit, fighting all the terrorist/ninja/crooked cop types that Hawaii seems to be attracting like a magnet. Excellent action sequences, great gun fights, some entertaining relationships developing between the characters, and you know what? Sometimes things just go boom. Pure entertainment, nothing more, nothing less.
