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 read a number of reviews complaining of the slow pace. I don't think it's slow. I do think it's balanced. I don't want emergency after emergency with no break. I do want to see the team relaxing and I'm enjoying the various story lines.

And the scenery. Oh my goodness! It's amazing! I thoroughly enjoy the shots of the ocean. The underwater camera work is awe-inspiring.

It's interesting to me to see the behind the scene machinations with the politics of everything. I'm kind of pleased to see that isn't just a mainland issue.

This is a truly pleasant show. Even the few people that the team can't rescue are handled with a full story. I was crying along with the actors at the ceremony on their boards where they threw the purple flowers. (I'm trying to to be a spoiler here).

It isn't pulse pounding, excitement every minute, but it's a string workplace show with amazing scenery and some truly heroic action.

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.

One of the reasons Baywatch did so well for so long is that it had good stories and mysteries to solve amongst the other obvious reasons. This show is trying to be a new Baywatch but really is a bunch of surfing shots and repetitive basic water rescues littered in between a bunch of infighting amongst the show's characters. The writing is not there unless all you want is to watch people arguing about trivial nonsense completely unrelated to beach safety and water rescue, which should be but isn't the theme of the show. The sets are extremely basic too, no establishing shots of any of the facilities, everything is tight lenses unless out at sea. Could have been a really good show but missed the mark.

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.
