Rescue: HI-Surf

I love this show. The action and the storyline, especially the realistic rescues. I read they are based on real rescues. The emotional side of the rescuers personal life adds more intrigue. I hope they continue to make more episodes. The s scenery if beautiful and enjoyable to watch The actors are great and blend well together .

I am repeating that I love and enjoy this show.

You can tell the actors have to keep in good shape in order to keep up with the show. I have even more appreciation and in awe of the lifeguards who risk their lives every day to save the lives of people they don't. Have.

I had higher hopes for this show... hopefully it gets better but I am not impressed so far.

The characters aren't likable. The "Cap" acts like a moody, teenager girl. He may have lost someone but my goodness he's an idiot. In fact they all act pretty idiotic. Idiocy mixed with a giant dose of arrogance? All the characters? Yup. I'm bored and their idiotic behavior irritates me to the point of not wanting to watch any longer.

I was excited for the show because I love Arielle Kebble and the plot sounded decent but like I said, NOT IMPRESSED.

Here's hoping it gets better. If I continue to try watching it anyway...

Going to disagree with the other reviewers... the characters are likeable, the action is exciting, the show is visually stunning, and I feel like I've taken a beach vacation after watching an episode... this show has its place and I hope it gains a following!!

The attention to detail in the set design, the underwater camera work, and the way it seems like these actors actually learned the jet skiing and rescue swimming... other shows can have their award-winning acting and dialogue (really enjoying The Old Man right now for that kind of thing)... this is still a roaring good time.

Let's hope the 9-11 lead-in buys it some time and viewership... looking forward to every episode.

It is the North shore on Oahu in Hawaii. It is lifeguards saving lives. Harlan "Sonny" Jennings (Robbie Magasiva) is the captain. Emily "Em" Wright (Arielle Kebbel) is his veteran lieutenant. There is a new group of recruits. They end up picking a political figure's son rather than the best candidate.

It is Hawaiian sun and surf. There are plenty of beautiful people, but the girls are not the Baywatch babes. I don't think anybody is doing slo-mo running. Arielle Kebbel is a veteran. The acting is good. The rescue action is good. Maybe people just want their Baywatch Babes doing their slo-mo runs.

Beautiful scenery- beaches to die for and a lot of eye candy- yet I'm invested in Sonny the Captain and his story and pain. So not all fluff. Story lines are interesting and relatable.

The rescues are nail biting at times and the stories seem to depict actual life on the island. It's not all roses and puppies.

It did take a couple of episodes to hook me but I am. If you give it a go you'll get hooked too!!

If not for the stories then at least for the beauty that is Hawaii and her oceans.

Please CW please don't cancel it! I get hooked on your innovative shows and then wham!! They're gone.

Ma halo.
