Rescue: HI-Surf

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.

Well, another show bites the dust. Another great show. Another show that deserved way more than just one season.

Why do networks do this, especially Fox?! They keep all the crappy stuff and then cancel the stuff that they should be keeping. It's so frustrating! 😠

I made sure to tune in every week to see that show and it was worth it. The scenery was gorgeous and I liked the acting. There was nothing about it that I could say was bad, especially worth canceling over. But, most major networks today, if they don't like it then it's gone and to hell with what the viewers think.

I wish they would listen to the viewers and keep the good shows. Maybe we'll be lucky enough that another network will pick it up. One can only hope. 😕🤞

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.

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.

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...
