NCIS : Hawaï

They should have never cancelled Hawaii 5-0 because this show is beyond terrible!!! And Vanessa Lachay as the lead investigator? Terrible choice! Poor acting and poor plots!!!!

I wanted to like this show but I was disappointed.

What I liked - 1) a minority female lead and 2) the diversity of the cast - people looked like locals.

What I didn't like - 1) the acting was stiff and unimpressive 2) the story line seemed disjointed 3) the writers tried to introduce too much too soon.

I'll give it a few more episodes and hope it gets better.

I tuned in because I'm a huge Hawaii buff! I loved Hawaii Five-O! I like Magnum quite a bit. This show didn't gel at all. They didn't even show a lot of Hawaiian landmarks or scenery to make it worth it. It's supposed to be in Pearl Harbor, I believe which I would have been great to really feature. None of the characters has any chemistry, romantic or otherwise. The acting was passable at best. I would have given this a lower score but like I said, I love the state of Hawaii!

Bad casting, bad plot and feels more like a cheap private detective show. The cast members look and act like those who didn't make the casting for other shows based in Hawaii. Prognosis - not good!

The show does not portray the Hawaiian culture accurately but assumes the way Hawaiians would talk and act.

Now for the show, first of all what is a Merit medal?? The Dept of the Navy of does not have merit medals. There are 3 medals within the DON, Superior Civilian Service; Distinguished Civilian Service and Meritorious Civilian Service.

Since when does the Defense Intelligence Agency investigate espionage? Would def be the FBI working jointly with NCIS. Really???

NTSB at a crash site?? That would be the Navy Safety Center.

Why didn't the writers/producers hire someone who is familiar with NCIS, the Navy and the Hawaiian Islands??

Will not be tuning in for Episode 2!!
