just watch it!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

I was channel surfing and ran into this show and decided to watch it. I was not disappointed. Good action, some tech stuff, nice scenery (both the landscape and some of the female cops *wink*) and I like the way the writers were able to weave the A & B plots into each other. (one plot supplying info or items to support the other plot) and I felt the writers did a pretty good job of it. And as a bonus, a "C" plot was also thrown in for good measure. It was a shock though to see Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (normally the heavy in most films) playing the ultimate good guy as Captain Terry Harada. (I kept wanting to tell the other cops "Lookout! That's Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat! He's Evil!") But it was interesting to see him in a different role. Most of the acting was decent and the plots were interesting and even funny.I recommend this show to those that like to see several well written tales woven into each other.Paul

Many great television shows have been canceled prematurely because thenetworks did not give them a chance to find their voice ('My So Called Life', 'Boomtown'). There are still some shows on today that don't have the ratings, but the networks haven't given up on them ('Alias', '24'). Don't rule out this show based on the first few episodes. Many shows find aLONG life because they were given a shot (look up the history of Seinfeld if you doubt my comments). The networks need to let these new shows find theirniche. This show has some potential. It's got a great cast and a beautifulsetting. Hang in there Hawaii. I'll keep coming back.

I gotta tell you that this is CSI and NYPD Blue combined. I liked both series and this ones warming up to do the same. I look forward to see how the rest of the season goes. THUMBS UP and stay away from that plug. Your on the right track and remember.... The trophy is always worth the chase. G R E A T so far ...... If if were writing the script ? you might want to throw in a cute ME to get that love/romance thing a kick. I can see from the first show you got one started but, GIRLS need COMPETITION from other girls. Lets get it on.... No Charlies angels please but a cute M.E. will do. Cops gotta have a romantic side too (besides there job) and a medical examiner on a island that has so much crime ? Hey Yeah....

The title, "Hawaii", drew my attention to this possibly new TV Series and I was looking forward to something new, refreshing and entertaining. There was lots of nice scenery of Hawaii and the film was filled with heads being cut off, sharks teeth the weapon, even a short clip of two cops naked in a antique bathtub, a kidnapping and everything but the kitchen sink shoved into the 60 minutes of boredom! Michael Biehn(Max Harrison),"Cherry Falls",2000 gave a convincing performance and newcomer, Dekoda Adams(B DelaCruz) gave a great supporting role. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with this first showing of the series and hopefully it will improve. There was even some COMEDY in this FILM!
