NCIS: Hawai'i

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.

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.

Bad casting, bad plot and feels more like a cheap private detective show. The cast members look and act like those who didn't make the casting for other shows based in Hawaii. Prognosis - not good!

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!

I think this show has promise, and even though I like the idea of the Agent in Charge Jane Tennant being the lead agent, she is so stilted I feel as though she is being led by a puppeteer (i'm being polite).

The rest of the cast are excellent and are at this stage carrying the show, where she is letting it down I miss Hawaii Five 0 but understand injury was the end of that series.. I love the current version of Magnum.

This series of NCIS Hawaii seems to be a mix of both with a lot lacking (I'm still watching it as I love the NCIS family)
