This is great entertainment. It reminds me of the cop shows I loved from the seventies and eighties like Starsky and Hutch, and action shows like the A-Team. It doesn't take itself seriously and as long as you don't take IT seriously then I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this show.
It is also stunning. Absolutely gorgeous scenery (makes me really want to visit Hawaii) and the hottest cast I've seen on tv in years.
Alex O'Loughlin is especially great as McGarrett. I love his portrayal of him, funny, outrageous and touching in turn.
Daniel Day Kim is also excellent, as per usual. Scott Caan is funny as an angry Danno. And Grace Park is great as Kono.
I'd seen Grace Park and Daniel Day Kim before this show but never seen Scott Caan or Alex O'Loughlin before and was pleasantly surprised by them both.
The chemistry between the four is fantastic too.
Oh and did I mention the action? Top notch.
I can't imagine not liking this as pure escapist brilliance - unless you're a bit of a serious stick in the mud.

I loved watching this on the TV but the DVD is fantastic. The special features are great and the commentary with the cast is really funny. I cant wait for season 2 to come out on DVD, I hope its just as good as season 1.

Hawaii Five-0 is slick, fast-paced, dramatic, beautifully shot and very good fun. It balances the dramatic with the not taking itself too seriously very well and has built up a very good character interaction between the main stars, particularly the 'love-hate' relationship between 'Danno' and McGarrett. The episodes keep you hooked week in and week out. Plus, the photography on the show is first class. This is a Five-0 for the twenty-first century that does remember its roots.

This is seriously one of my favorite TV-shows: great cast, plenty of action and humorous dialog - what's there not to love?
As I said, the cast is amazing. Alex O'Loughlin plays Steve McGarrett, a navy commander who returns to Hawaii to solve his father's murder and to lead the newly founded special task force. He is joined by haole-cop Daniel "Danno" Williams (Scott Caan), ex-cop Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) and newbie-cop Kono Kalakaua (Grace Park).
I absolutely adore O'Loughlin and Caan in their roles - the best and funniest lines are said when the two are bickering about something. And if a trip to Hawaii has never really crossed your mind, it will after watching this show: the scenery is breathtaking (especially when O'Loughlin takes off his shirt).
One thing I don't like about this show is the sometimes outrageous product placement ("Bing it!").
The set includes a lot of extra-material - documents, deleted scenes, commentaries - and I enjoyed every minute. DVD-wise this is one of the best purchases I've done this year and I can't wait to get my hands on season two!

The new version is far better than the original, even though I watched all Jack Lord's episodes. Alex O'Loughlin is extremely good as Steve McGarrett, and I am looking forward to being to purchase Series 2.

I have been rivetted to my laptop every evening for the past two weeks, watching an episode of Series 1 of the new Hawaii Five O American TV Series. Great plots, sharp action and above all a winning combo of inter-character relationships between the new McGarrett (the deliciously brooding Alex O'Loughlin), the new Danno (move over James Caan, your son Scott is uber cool), Chin Ho Kelly played by the enigmatic and charming Daniel Dae Kim and the female team member, Kono Kalakaua - like a breath of fresh Waikiki air on the screen. Even subsidiary support characters are developed with flair and gentle humour. A very sophisticated and classy revival of an old favourite - can't wait for Series 2 - meanwhile I'm ordering Series 1 for a couple of friends and family as I dare not lend out my own. Congratulations ... move over Starsky and Hutch, Cagney and Lacey - McGarret and Danno are back in town!
