Well if you are as old as I am and remember watching the original 5-0 this is my friend nothing like that. With the remake came sexy, if you like action, it is here. In spades.
Steve McGarrett has morphed from Mr sauve Jack Lord into Mr extremely hot Alex O'Loughlin and with his wise cracking in between cracking heads and using any means necessary to get the job done he kind of reminds me of John McClain in Die Hard.
His trusty side kick is 'Danno' who has morphed into the delightful Scott Caan who ends up not only the butt of most of the jokes but also gets unwillingly dragged into McGarrett's schemes.
Daniel Dae Kim is 'chin' and ohh what a difference a couple of decades make, this my friends is action man chin and he has some surprises of his own up his sleeve during this first season.
But they didn't want to make this series just for the ladies so they brought in the very lovely, hard kicking and surfing Kono, Grace Park, who grows from rookie to a trusted member of the team during the season and gives as good as she gets.
Set in the beautiful Hawaii islands this show would be worth watching for the scenery and history alone and yet it has all the pulse racing tension and high octane action to keep you tuning in again and again and of course it has the super baddie who starts the show rolling, helps to bring the unit together and is the season arc storyline.
If you want action, comedy and of course sexy, you can't do better than this.
