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.

Everything about this series was impressive and in most of the episodes there is a humanitarian message to be learned , but some characters are suddenly missing and it's frustrating. For example Dr. Sharp in One episode is blocked in the elavator with Danny Williams, but then Suddenly we don't see her any more, and the same happens to Leylani the first Chin Ho's girl friend after her late wife or Charli Fong,crime scene specialist who seemed very close to Five-O and even to Steve himself, but all of them disappear without giving a good reason to viewer. Apart from this lack of deep characterization every other thing about this series, story, acts, music, light, decors, special effects ,rhythm, every aspect was stunning.

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.

I LOVE this show, LOVE it, its just the shot in the arm TV needs, its the complete antithesis of most of the other American shows we get here in the UK and its such a welcome contrast.

There are some superb TV shows on offer at the moment, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, genre shows like Dexter, Tru Blood and Walking Dead, all diverse, all excellent top draw entertainment.

Its the success of these shows that makes Five-0 such a great alternative, its fast paced, funny, has plenty of crash, bang, wallop and it looks great.

A guilty pleasure you say ? NO, this exactly what TV should be doing, offering choice, i hate reality and talent shows with every fibre of my being, but they cater to people who do like them, so i feel that i deserve an action packed cop show now and again.

Choice is the key factor in everything we do for recreation today, TV like it or not is a big part of peoples recreation, so its right that it should be offering a diversity of shows that appeal to all tastes.

As to the issue of remakes/boots, whatever, this tired argument ran out of steam on Battlestar Galactica, i ranted against the new one, then sat and watched it and realised that, you can like both, the hypocrisy cops are not going to kick your door down. If you like it, good, if you don't like it, good, but ranting about the revisiting of classics is like arguing with the weather. I used to watch the original Five-0 here in the UK (Saturday nights, ITV, late on) loved it, but i can find some room for the new one too.

This show has to get a second series, this is flat out brilliant TV, in the middle of a worldwide recession, political and social upheaval rife, the upbeat, take no prisoners, ass kicking note of Hawaii's favourite Five-0 unit is just the tonic.
