Sadly, the production of this program series was not seriously researched properly. My concerns; 1) The narrator often mispronounced the correct pronunciation of many words in the Hawaiian language. In other countries, this insult would have your balls forcibly removed. 2) practically all of the "Realtors" used, did not have accurate knowledge of local lore, let alone accurate facts when questioned by the clients looking for their new homes. In fact several of the so called expert Realtors, made up total fabrications because they did not know any of the real facts. 3) Many of the images used to fill in gaps were completely out of context, such as location stills of one island mixed in with other island communities.
How I know this is because I was born on Oahu, and lived there with relatives on all the islands for 30+ years.
Just like the rebooted version of Hawaii 5 0, there are lots of inaccuracies and total fabrications (I have played an extra or two, in the original Hawaii Five O series, when I was a wee keiki). But if you are a hillbilly, that really does not care about accuracy, this is still entertaining.
