What did you think of the first episode? Hit or miss?

It was okay but I didn't like how all those Hawaiian words were in the dialogue. I liked the sl. Will wait until next week to see if I will continue.

Whaaaaat? Hawaiian words in a show based in Hawaii? Say it ain't so!

At least they were pronounced correctly ( and they actually pronounced Helena's properly - bonus points!).

Presumably based on a Navy base in Hawaii. 5-0 can take care of the civilians

Sorry if I came on a bit strong; it is a sore topic for me.

Fine, but since they investigate off military installations there will be non-military places and people; there are also local workers on military installations.

I was pretty disappointed. It was very formulaic. Maybe they pushed too hard to squeeze in a plot along with introducing the characters, and the flaws and strengths each one had that will be a sure focus in future episodes, but other similar shows were more solid.

Exactly, they pushed way to hard on this show. It's like they are trying to have Hawaii Five-O 2.5.
This time Steve McGarrett has boobs.

I like it okay but I was telling my husband if we ever moved there which we wont , that I would need a local to acclimate to the language . I went to hawaii once and once was enough for me beautiful but costly as all get out .

It was OK. Writing was average, but it is, after all, a television show.

Acting was average for tv but I'll give the actors a couple of episodes to find their stride and develop their characters.

Hawaiian words were place names and food. I'm not sure how they were supposed to avoid using those.

I wonder if the writers were borrowed from Hawaii 5-0, who are not all that competent. I hope the stories get better. Right now it looks like they already ran out of ideas.
