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...

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.

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 did read several of the existing reviews and i wonder where those viewers are from. I say this because while the writing could be better for this show, it actually mimics life in hawaii pretty well. Characters like sonny, hina, kainalu and laka fit real life people. Many times, shows/moves based in hawaii don't show the real hawaii or culture.

Some of the things laka said made me giggle because i thought only people from hawaii would understand that! Uncle sonny seems like a real uncle with real life challenges. Hina portrays the local girl who is just trying to make it on her own and try to get away from the many responsibilities we have growing up that we are sort of "forced" to do because that's what we do.

Overall, i liked the show because it gives me a taste of home. It could use some work though!
