NCIS : Hawaï

I really wished this would be a nice new NCIS show, since i wasn't the biggest fan of NCIS - New Orleans and expected something that was at least better than that.

But Boy , oh Boy .. was i wrong... I don't even really know where to start, there is simply nothing positive to say about this show, the cast is a diverse mix of horrible stereotypes and cliches , the acting horrible, the story so far a mix between drama and comedy and authenticity is completely absent. I don't expect a show to get everything right when it comes to military information , uniforms, ribbons , medals, agency interactions... but to get absolutely nothing right is beyond lazy and sad.

My advice would be watch episode 1 .. Judge for yourself and then do the same as i will , watch something else and never give this a second thought.

The NCIS name and the JAG franchise deserved better than this !

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.

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 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!

The pilot was pretty dissaspointing, all of the characters felt like poorly written, generic stereotypes. The shooting style and color grading was also almost unwatchable and ugly. A few scenes were obviously shot in front of a green screen and were super oversaturated. NCIS: New Orleans was far from perfect, but replacing it with this is insane.
