TV SHOW REVIEW | Magnum P.I.: See the Beautiful and Colorful Tropics of Hawaii

Filming actually does take place in Hawaii and as a result, we see the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and their culture. It isn’t hard to recognize why this show made such an impression. It can compete with the best of the long-running shows that have been given multiple seasonal renews. I only hope this one is given the same opportunities.
Hawaii Five-0, Season One (2010) TV Show Review. A review of the CBS re-boot with Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan. #Throwback #TVShow #HawaiiFive0 Click To Tweet
Content: the show is TV14 for its theme topics like bomb threats, kidnappings and death by gunshot wounds, although none of which are depicted graphically. The pilot episode opens with a bang and tense situation. There are some shots of lifeless bodies and some swearing. One scene begins with a couple tangled up in the sheets; they share some sensual banter – another scene implies a brief extra-marital fling.

I had heard about this new show and haven't had the chance to see it or see how it was doing. I had liked Alex O’Loughlin from when he was in Moonlight, so now I am definitely going to have to check this new series out. Thanks!
I LOVE LOVE LOVED season 1 of this show. Season 2 got off to a bit of a rocky start (just a heads up), but ever since the Halloween episode this year the show has hit its stride once again. Glad you are enjoying it too!
I love this show. So glad you dug it.
Jeanine – you should check this one out. I thought it was phenomenal! It has its faults but there is a lot to be admired… I haven't seen the original but I am guessing I'd prefer this updated version.
Believe it or not, it did really well with critics which was unusual – I am so glad it did because I am hoping it will get an extended run on CBS.
A lot of girls say that they saw this just because of Alex's part on Moonlight and I think most of them <3 this!
So glad you stopped in Jeanine – do so again soon. =)
Ruth – oh, goody! I am glad you enjoyed this one! I knew you liked Alex (from your Back-Up Plan review), so I wondered if you saw this.
I am half-pleased and half-annoyed at what I am reading about S2. Considering how S1 ends, I am not surprised it starts a bit rough – hopefully it will continue on its smoother run throughout the remaining episodes. So glad to know that! Thanks, Ruth!!
Juju – me, too! I just loved this show – definitely one of my most favorites. =D
I enjoy this series on the whole — it's action packed, has a sense of humor, and is a lot of fun. I just got my parents hooked on the first season. =)
I thought it was a phenomenal first series; yes, there were a few things I didn't like, but mostly I loved it. My mom liked it but dad… I don't know that he enjoyed it as well as mom and I. =)
Cannot wait to see S2!
PS: love your new profile pic. ;D
I am totally in love with this tv show! Ever since I started watching it a short while ago, I can't stop :) Every episode leaves me wanting to the next episode to just hurry up and air so I can watch it – one week between episodes is entirely too long haha. The whole series just keeps taking different twists and turns and (spoiler alert) the main guy from Knight Rider shows up in Season 4 – He and Steve have me at a tie :p I hope they come out with as many seasons as Burn Notice. I'd watch every single episode!
You and I both, Rachel! This is definitely one of my very favorite shows on television today. Steve, Danny and the whole gang are too fun.
I'm currently watching and enjoying S3 and loving any and all S4 spoilers! Thanks for sharing what you're thinking of the current season; I'm all ears for any snippet spoilers I can get. :)
Oh, me too! I hope this outlasts Burn Notice. That show ended far too soon.
[…] top, in the first episode we go on a pulse-pounding ride that is one of the best resolutions to its season one cliffhanger. Respectfully, I have to disagree with my friends who enjoy this show but were unimpressed with the […]
