Rescue: HI-Surf

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!

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...

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. 😕🤞
