DVD Reviews
I can't believe this show is just about to
start it's tenth season! Time sure flies. The original
series lasted 12 years, so I guess they're closing in on
that. Fans seem to like the show.
It's another CBS
action drama with handsome guys, plus there's the beautiful
local scenery. We lived in Honolulu for 3 years, so it's
great to see the places I recognize. Of course, this being a
cop action show, the writers make it seem like Hawaii has a
lot of crime and corruption. In real life, Honolulu is a
very safe place, especially for a big city. The biggest
problems there are traffic on the H1, and homelessness. It's
hard to smuggle guns there, and there don't seem to be many
gangs. We used to see little old ladies walking their dogs
at 3am.
Anyway, it's a fun show, with a lot of car
chases, explosions, etc. and the cast works very well
together. Even though two of the major characters left two
years ago, the show hasn't suffered.
If you're a fan
of good action-drama in beautiful locales, you should enjoy
this. The DVD has some good special features.

Description:
HAWAII FIVE-0 is a contemporary take on the classic
series about an elite federalized task force whose
mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the
islands’ sun-drenched beaches. Detective Steve
McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer turned cop,
returned to Oahu after Hawaii’s former governor
persuaded him to head up the new team:
his rules, no red tape and full blanket authority to
hunt down the biggest “game” in town. Joining McGarrett
are Detective Danny “Danno” Williams, a relocated ex-New
Jersey cop who is committed to keeping the islands safe
for his children; Captain Lou Grover, who formerly
headed Hawaii’s SWAT unit; Jerry Ortega, the islands’
local conspiracy theorist; Tani Rey, a bold, recent
police academy graduate; Junior Reigns, a former
SEAL who comes to McGarrett
looking for a job.and Adam Noshimuri, a friend with old
ties to a deadly crime family. Helping them is Kamekona,
a local entrepreneur who has his pulse on the Island;
Sgt. Duke Lukela, a trusted member of the HPD; and
medical examiner Dr. Noelani Cunha. The state’s brash
FIVE-0 unit, who may spar and jest among themselves,
remain determined to eliminate the seedy elements from
the 50th state.
