Rescue: HI-Surf

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.

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...

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.

Story is ok kind of slow. But the action sequences are top tier with the camera angels. Seems like a modern day bay watch for this generation if of tv viewers with the similar drama. Hopefully the branching stories don't get stale in the long run. Hawaii is a great choice since the north shore is one of the most dangerous beaches in the e tire world to surf. Knowing fox they will axe this show after one season since modern television shows now these days don't last no more than a season of all platforms of streaming and cable TV networks. But overall it's a good popcorn on your couch type of television fun.

Welcome to North Shore unless you're in the recording booth doing post production audio replacement dialogue.. Someone should've worked on that a little bit more because some dialogue sounds janky, other bits are really noticeable and it's fine but you think it would've been picked up?.

Well not many shows set on the beach other then reality TV or all the seasons of Bondi Rescue.

This is like Bondi Rescue but not in Sydney. It's set in Hawaii which is stunning in this and it was great to see Robbie Magasiva playing Sonny, he finally looks settled and happy post Wentworth and while I love him, I see the character battling some bad demons.

Sonny made a deal with the 'devil' hoping he sees that persons lies soon enough.

Here for the banter between characters keeping it real in a dangerous profession and being there for each other when needed.
