Should be interesting to see how this remake of the classic series works out.

never herd of these actors. it will never be the same as original. loved steve mcgaret. with his hair in a quife.

Daniel Dae-Kim (Jin from Lost) and Grace Park (Boomer from BSG) are well known to most folk.

Don't particularly like the new theme tune, hopefully will turn out to be a decent re-make. Been a while since Hawaii has featured in a cop show (Lost doesn't count, long time since Magnum PI graced our screens), will mean plenty of decent scenery shots anyhow.

Never really thought much of him, only ever seen in them in that show Moonlight I think it was called? Terrible show, was only barely watchable for Jason Dohring!

One of the well known Cop shows I never seen. The music is classic.

Sounding even better, James Marsters is guest starring!

its like whos who of pop culture icons, they have a lost star, a BSG star and now a heroes star, the least known been daniel dae kim, but of the 12 millions viewers that lost had i think some might know him,

i hope it doest go CSI Miami with style over substance, ill probably add it my list of shows, that list that i promised to whittle down after last years overload,

Fall 2010? whats!? Fall? :rolleyes:

Richard Dower

What's wrong with saying Fall?...everyone knows what it means. So what if it's an American term for Autumn, besides....we are more American now then Irish.

I know Rich, I am just slagging the amount of people complaining about my use of the word for an Irish TV station.

James McArthur is to make a cameo appearance in the new CBS reboot of Hawaii Five-0.

The 72-year-old actor, who played Danny 'Danno' Williams in the first version of the series from 1969 to 1980, is the last surviving original cast member.

McArthur told WENN that he supports the remake, which stars Scott Caan as Danno.

"This one's going to be a hit," he insisted. "It's got a good cast and good plots."

He added that producers are currently devising a role for him to play.

"They've asked me to appear in the new show," he confirmed. "I'll do [a cameo] when the time is right."

The new Hawaii Five-0 premieres on September 20 at 10/9c on CBS.

Wow lot's of familiar faces in the 1st 5 minutes, Sean Patrick Flanery, James Masters to name but two and the Theme is intact

No time to watch it all now , will have to report back later.

JP Liz V1

Well I really liked Hawaii Five-O. The cast work well and have great chemistry especially Caan and O'Loughlin. It was great also seeing Norman Reedus and James Marsters in the pilot all it needed was Sean Patrick Flannery .

don ramo

i liked it, remeinded me of CSI:Miami, but with a lot a lot more substance,

solid cast, should drag in a few fanboys from lost and BSG, and i think theyll hold them also, if they can keep up the pace of the show, it will look like we have our very first successfull remake, after the recent failures of knight rider and bionic woman (which i actually thought was good)

Yes!!!!!!!! I thought so too, in terms of how it looks and all the cut a way shots over water between scenes., minus the dollop of csi:m cheese

It wasn't bad at all, nothing blindingly original about it but was easy to watch for sure. Not sure if ill follow it every week or dip in and out yet though.

Our man in Havana

It was a good solid start. I enjoyed it. They kept the "Book 'em Danno" catchphrase.

mailforkev

Just finished watching this, not too bad at all for a setup episode. Scott Caan is good in Entourage and is quite well cast in this I thought. The Aussie fella was a bit shaky but at least the mrs thought he was quite good looking :rolleyes: Looks like I'll keep watching.

Poochie05

Yes I quite enjoyed it although I found the backstory a bit shoe horned in. Hopefully now they have it out of the way they'll get on with it. Only remember the theme music and book him Danno catchphrase from original, did it have the same explanation for why McGarrett returned to the island and joined the police?
I found it all a little too forced and what sort of accents were the 2 brothers doing at the start?
At first I thought we'd have to put up with more dreadful oirish accents but they seemed to veer from Belfast to Moscow by way of Glasgow!

PhiloCypher

Just finished watching it I'd echo what other people have said in that its surprisingly good the cast have a pretty decent chemistry already and its only one episode in which bodes well .

All in all a welcome change of pace from the umpteen Csi-esque procedurals that seem so in vogue these days .

Richard Dower

Saw it, not bad...the two leads are pretty strong, decent action, the violence is actuualy more violent then alot of shows you see on US mainstream tv, the gunfire sounded more realistic as well. VERY dodgy accent from James Masters. Grace Park and De Kim are NOT Hawaiian!

Solid start, but...it's a pilot, they are not gonna be chasing arms smugglers every week, i assume they now just do bog standard crimes each week?

Richard Dower

Hmmm...i'm still not sure after watching ep. 2 - the story was a bit OTT, is every week not gonna be normal police work?, just big unrealistic bad guys or terrorists?

The interplay between the two leads are good and they have good banter, but the show just feels like NCIS: Los Angeles mixed with CSI Miami.

Poochie05

Yeah I agree about the banter between the 2 leads but wish they'd stop with the international terrorists with the dodgy accents! Will stick with it for another few eps though.

tvnutz

I am enjoying it as a turn your brain off kind of thing. Full of action and a bit of a laugh.

And I would imagine that no it will not be about noraml cop work Richard. They are a special group set up by the governer with immunity. They tackle these kind of things,not just normal investigations.

Richard Dower

Anyone still watching?....i'm *this* close to giving up, i'll watch ep. 3 now and see. This and Undercovers are they only two that hover on the "throw in recycle bin".

It's decent..

.. to be fair, you can't REALLY judge a show like this on it's merits after 3 episodes.

It's a procedural cop show with good chemistry and quips... it's never gonna set your world alight.

Richard Dower

^ so how many episodes are required to form an objective opinion?, 5; 10....end of season?
Latest had another round of solid banter between the leads, i also really like Dano and his daughter. I think it comes across well he'll do anything to be in her life and doats on her.

I like it and then i'm not too sure, it's a tricky one. This weeks eps. story was kinda weak, but the chemistry and banter is what sells it, i'll stick with it a bit more.

I think a series can get away with a few bad episodes mid-season but they really have to have strong ones from the beginning and at end to hold on to viewers. I haven't seen this show yet so I can't comment.

killbillvol2

Not impressed with the first 2 episodes. I'll give it one more but tbh I think it's pretty dull. (Not even drooling over Grace will keep me watching I fear).

calex71

3 episodes down , It's been ok as good as csi has been lately at least.

I think it's that bloody theme tune that got me hooked :mad:

Some seriously bad CGI this week, I was actually laughing during the cliff top scene!

Not complaining about the gratuitous shirtless Alex O'Loughlin scene though (unless it was CGI as well!:eek:)

paddyismaddy

I think RTE had it in their list of acquisitions announcement earlier this year as well. No sign of it on DigiGuide listings yet though.
