This thread is about this show:

But wait, actually, it's about this show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLKdYXyQa90
The reboot of Hawaii Five-O started last night, and it is really enjoyable so far, and may be the first thing I've watched regularly on CBS since the ill-fated Jericho.
Reviews are starting to pour in, and they all say the same thing essentially; this show is not a serialized television event out to reinvent the wheel, but it is simply a lot of fun, which is something that police procedurals could really use nowadays!
STARRING
That Guy From A Few Episodes of The Shield as Detective Steve McGarrett
Turk Malloy as Detective Danny "Danno" Williams
Jin-Soo Kwon as Detective Chin Ho Kelly
Boomer as Detective Kona "Kono" Kalakaua
The show also stars Hiro Nakamura and the pilot featured Spike (of Buffy fame) as a villain...possibly recurring? That would be nice.
While Alex O'Laughlin is admittedly a little flat as the lead, he still gets the job done and certainly doesn't make things worse, and importantly, he happens to have great chemistry with Scott Caan. Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park also seem oddly at home here, and hopefully having such a (so far) likable group of characters will really draw people into the show.
I've never seen the original show (when I was little I know that my grandmother used to watch it, so I just assumed it was some boring old person's show without knowing any better) and basically started watching this because of Kim and Park, but so far I'm impressed with what I've seen.
Anyways, did anyone catch this last night? Thoughts? Also, feel free to talk about the original too, if I get enough into this series I may be driven to pick up the original on DVD.

I was both impressed and mildly dismayed that they managed to find a reason to get Grace Park in her underwear for both of her major scenes. Will be interesting to see the increasingly creative reasons they'll find to do this as the season progresses.
I like how they mirrored the original a lot but all the computer graphics bullshit is awwwwwwwwful
I hate that so much
Especially on cop shows
Like if I'm watching a sci-fi series or something, fine
I can only hope this is one of those cool shows that changes credits every season
But I'll probably stick to watching it online as opposed to live tv (we don't have a DVR..yeah yeah, poke fun all you want, parents are old) since it's on mondays and gotta watch wrasslin

It's what you want. It is more on NCIS style compared to CSI but it is a whole lot more actiony and overall fun.
Give it a chance, at least.
Also early NCIS Seasons > than the crap we have now. Yes, there are more storylines but they are boring and there are way less funny and awesome scenes that made the show watchable in the first place.
Why did I write that?
I think this is where they're going with this
Kid actors are the worst, though

Same here, but notice that they didn't really strip her down out of her clothes this episode at all like they did twice in the premiere. This is good news, maybe they'll avoid cliches like that.
Playing basketball against prisoners for clues. Winning the game by playing dirty.
It's refreshing to have a 'cop show' where the cops ignore the rules, and have shoot outs in every episode.

1) Stringer Bell cameo?
2) Biggest steaks on earth
3) I get the feeling that the unfortunate "wacky" scientist is going to be a recurring mar on this spectacular gem of a show
