So during my week off, I finished the first season of Hawaii Five O. As Season Finale’s go, it was quite a good one. The dissolution of the team, the seemingly air-tight case against McGarrett (still showing little-to-no emotion), Chen’s seeming heel turn, Kono’s impeding arrest and Dano’s life being relocated back to New York. It was a cliffhanger that left me eagerly awaiting the next season. And that’s quite an achievement, considering just how balls the show normally is.
Don’t get me wrong, I like a bit of bad TV. And what I like about Hawaii Five-O is that it knows it’s bad. But still, some of the storylines are ridiculous. The most ridiculous thing to my mind, is that this team of “super cops” took eight episodes to work out who was sending Steve objects from his father’s stolen tool box, yet still came up trumps against the Yakuza and organised drug dealers and gun runners.
Plus the guest stars are amazing. Mark Dacascos is now that “big bad” and it’s looking like the girl who used to play Alex Mack, in “The Secret World of Alex Mack” is joining the team, which is great as pre-teen Wez used to majorly fancy her. Now she’s all grown up, I kinda still do.
I think the epitome of just how ridiculous the show is came a few weeks ago, when Puff Daddy showed up as an undercover New York cop who was working for the FBI. In a botched assassination attempt, his wife and one of his FBI handlers are killed. Of course, the FBI should investigate, but oh no, Five-O have got jurisdiction (somehow). The icing on the cake was McGarrett telling the FBI: “we’ll find the murderers and solve this case”.
You can’t even solve the case of the missing toolbox.
