Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
It's NOT a re-make...
For those who are looking for a Jack Lord - James MacArthur continuation, stop watching now. This ain't it.
For those who saw the "new" Star Trek and enjoyed it, this is your chance to see "the alternative universe" of Hawaii.
As mentioned in other commentary, there are good and bad points... just like any other production. There is a LOT of suspension of disbelief in this one. Some of them, like McGarrett's now-I'm-in-the-Navy-now-I'm not and the governor's license to kill arrangement, are VERY far fetched. But if you can get past that, you will enjoy this show. If you are looking for the real world, why are you watching police drama anyway? The only shows that were anywhere CLOSE to realistic were Barney Miller and Hill Street Blues.
But really... this is NOT a remake.
It's a re-do.

My all-time favorite episode
This show is probably my all-time favorite episode of any television show I've ever watched. I'm a retired Marine and this episode never fails to move me to tears. The loneliness of Corporal Yost and what it has done to him is one of the reasons. When they are reading the Medal of Honor Citation and pan onto Charles Durning as he shuffles along the hallway always brings tears to my eyes. The last scene in the Sushi Bar is another one that I find touching... especially the last lines. I can't think of "Begin the Beguine" without seeing Ernie and Kate dancing. Just a marvelous piece of writing and acting. Thanks to the cast and crew for a wonderful and touching performance. It doesn't surprise me at all that the writer of this episode worked on "Moonlighting" and "Hill Street Blues". Thanks, Roger Director for a great story. Thanks, Don Bellisario... from another Marine for this episode and this show.
