Show Rave: Hawaii Five-0!

Dec 14, 2010 20:07

So while I should be doing my law project, I decided to pimp out my new favourite show this year!

[ H A W A I I F I V E - 0 ]

[ B A S I C S ] :
So basically Hawaii Five-0 is an adaptation of the original series Hawaii Five-O (the difference is that the 'oh' is a zero instead of an o). The series stars Alex O'Loughlin, (A GORGEOUS AUSTRALIAN GOD - also know for his role in 'The Back-Up Plan'), Scott Caan (ADORABLE - also known for his role in Oceans Eleven/Oceans Thirteen), Daniel Dae Kim (again, hot mother fucker - also known for his role in Lost) and Grace Park (also known for her role in Battlestar Galactica).

The show starts with Lt. Steve McGarret (O'Loughlin) returning to his hometown in Hawaii to investigate his fathers murder. The Governor of Hawaii approaches him and proposes that he remain in Hawaii permanently: to create his own task force free of rules and her personal backing. Eventually, he forms a team consisting of Danny 'Danno' Williams (Caan) - Detective, Chin Ho Kelly (Kim) - former police detective and Kono (Park) - a rookie Police officer fresh out of the Police Acadamy.

I feel kinda proud that I wrote this myself!

Now personally I've never watched the original series because I hadn't even heard of the show until it came on again. But I'm honestly so glad that I (technically my dad) discovered this show. It's AMAZING. I know that those who rave about any show say 'its not any typical show' but its really not! The premise of the show is BEAUTIFUL in general (hullo, Hawaii) and I love the fact that they utilize the Island so well. By this I mean they shoot most of the show outside, which gives them the opportunity to go all over Hawaii in all these beautiful locations, instead of sticking to one location.

I also love the balance that they have between the action and jokes/sarcasm. I feel like every other show has kind of lost that ability, where they can only show action or they can only show a funny episode.

K so my favourite character HANDS DOWN is Danno. I'm surprised myself that I didn't say McGarret because he's so damn beautiful, smart and kickass, but I feel like Danno is so much more relate able. He's the best/cutest father I've ever seen, and you can just tell by the way he talks about his daughter and acts when she's around that she's his life. He's also REALLY funny and the fact that he's such a stand out compared to everyone else on the Island is so entertaining. He's from Jersey.

I like all the characters a lot, and they're a really good looking cast as well, which helps. For example, when they're working together, they sort of just feed off of one another and compliment the other well. As in any show, there are always side stories too. I like the way that they play them out though, that these back stories come back every once in a while and they allow their story to go deeper each time.

[ S H I P S ] :
Right when this show started, I had a ship: Danno/McGarret. They're PERFECT for each other because they vibe off of one another so well, which makes for really funny bantering between them. Since they're together all the time, any scene that they have together consists of Danno getting angry or making a sarcastic comment and McGarret countering that with a happy or accusatory comment.

ALFSNZDGM;SGMKS you guys just don't know. They're flawless together. I'm not sure if this bantering was the same case as it was in the original, but if this is new..*claps*

[ W H Y Y O U S H O U L D W A T C H I T ] :
It has definitely become one of my favourite shows - and its really good timing too because all of my favourite shows are either nearing its end or have just gotten too bad to watch in its later seasons. I just think its a good alternative or switch up to the shows that are really popular right now, and I have a feeling this show could go really far if it picked up and became really popular.

The cast is a very attractive cast, and they're all funny in a way.
