Critic Reviews

Mark A. Perigard

The remake of "Hawaii Five-0" is the best kind of throwback--to the buddy cop films of the 1980s. Think "Lethal Weapon" with a tropical twist. Read full review

Ken Tucker

So far, O'Loughlin has come most alive when he's engaged in the premiere's close-quarters, elbow-chopping fight scenes. But it's clear that, like other CBS shows from NCIS to CSI, the team byplay is going to be the heart of Hawaii Five-0. Thank goodness Caan is here to provide gruff humor, and Kim and Park play off each other nicely. Read full review

Mary McNamara

O'Loughlin's by-the-book performance is buoyed by a fast-paced script and a splendid supporting cast, including and especially Scott Caan as Danno, that radiates enough hit-making energy to render even Oahu's azure waters and perfect sunsets superfluous. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

This remake keeps the scenery and action--exploding cars and AK-47 gunfights appear to be to Honolulu what thieving politicians and senile I-95 motorists are to Miami--but adds some compelling post-9/11 wrinkles. Read full review

David Hinckley

The story and the chemistry work, but periodically the action feels rushed, as if we all know the drill and we might as well get it over with. Future episodes may correct that, because they'll need less setup work. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Yet despite the dude-tastic charisma that Caan brings to Danno, I can't quite see a reason to watch Hawaii Five-0 again, given that each week, the stories will probably feel like something we've already seen on 'NCIS,' 'NCIS Los Angeles' or any number of the 'CSIs.' Bad guys will be caught, the team shall be triumphant. Rinse and repeat. Read full review

Scott Timberg

Some things are better than they were in the '60s--including the top tier of television shows. This just isn't one of them. Read full review

Love this show. What's not to like. There is plenty of action for the guys and great looking men for the ladies. Throw in beautiful Hawaii and a couple references to the former show and tadaaah grab a bag of popcorn and enjoy Monday night.

This show is amazing! It's action packed, has interesting cases and great character chemistry! Love it without a doubt ;) (and that darn theme tune is just too catchy!)

Great show visually, fun music, and a funny cast that works together well. Although not the most complex or mind-bending show, definitely a fun mix of action and comedy and something exciting for everybody this fall season. Hope it stays as good as the pilot and makes it longer than half a season

It's a pleasant surprise to see something refreshing brought to TV. It has been superbly well written and given the fact that there was an orignal the transition has been very smooth and well balanced plus the setting is awesome. The focus on each character was well shown but combining it with each crisis/investigation Five-O faced in each episode was very well done. The characters like I said are tremendous, Steve McGarrett (Alex O'Laughlin) the leader of Five-O and while hes had critisiscm he isn't all that bad. Daniel Dae-Kim is in fine form as an alledgedly disgraced ex-cop Chin, Grace Park was convincing as independant rookie cop Kono but the star of the show and the key to it all is Scott Caan as Danno, Danny Williams, definetly Emmy worthy as McGarrett's charming and sarcastic partner. The main focus of the series is of the death of McGarrett's father who was investigating HPD about his mother's accidental death slowly but surely it becomes clear there was nothing accidental about with ties leading as far as the Yakuza led by Wo-Fat, the series villain. With 24 episodes on offer each brings something different whether it's action packed or the unexpected laughs, you are guarenteed sheer entertainment with plenty of twists and turns along the way leading to a breathtaking and mindblowing season finale which sets things up for an intriguing and unmissable Season 2. While Hawaii Five-O may be nothing ground-breaking its certainly refreshing and a solid update with a bright future.… Expand

Love the show - ALWAYS bothered by Danno's hair style - getting worse. He is in great shape but would look SO much better with a hairstyle that doesn't go straight back from his face and up to make him seem taller - NOT! Almost can't stand to look at him! Also finding it a bit tiresomeLove the show - ALWAYS bothered by Danno's hair style - getting worse.

Also finding it a bit tiresome the way he and Steve interact - the bantering is overdone and getting old.… Expand

There's no question that "Hawaii Five-0" has slick action, an attractive cast and a solid premise, but it's largely a headache than excitement. Really disappointing.

I can not say enough BAD things about this show WOW. I mean blatant things wrong from the ships that appear out of nowhere to kidnapping your friend and his girlfriend so you can turn him in because he stole money, YEARS and YEARS ago and you don't get in trouble for kidnapping them and youI can not say enough BAD things about this show WOW. I mean blatant things wrong from the ships that appear out of nowhere to kidnapping your friend and his girlfriend so you can turn him in because he stole money, YEARS and YEARS ago and you don't get in trouble for kidnapping them and you get to use the evidence that you obtained illegally and the statute of limitations has expired. Great stuff her. I think it must be a 7 yr old writing for this show. Oh yeah what about the 460lb guy who becomes a helicopter pilot for tours LOL. Have you ever been in a helicopter, well I have and NOT gonna happen. Save yourself a few brain cells and put this one to bed.… Expand
