Hawaii Five-O The Second Season



When the new Hawaii Five-O series premiered on CBS I wasn’t sure how I would react.  After all I was raised watching the original series starring Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett.

I decided to take a chance and watch the new show and after the first episode I was hooked. 
The new series maintains the essence and spirit of the old show but with a new modern twist.  
  
McGarrett is as tough and wily as ever and his fellow officers just as dedicated and rough.  The scenery is even more gorgeous especially since it is broadcast in HD and the stories all are edge-of-you-seat thrillers guaranteed to set your heart pounding.

This contemporary reinvention of a classic TV series is packed with incredible stunts, fast car chases, lots of gunplay and fights and best of all interesting interactions between the characters and bad guys.

The Second Season ramps up the excitement introduced by the First Season and it’s easy to see that the actors have got comfortable in their roles.


A clever use of Hawaiian names for each episode pulls viewers in.  Translated, some of the episodes are Treasure, Sacred Bones, Gone Forever, Out of the Past and many more.  Look for a few surprises this season and some cool extras in the Blu-ray set including the story of Hawaii Five-O, a look at Season 2, a crossover episode with NCIS: Los Angeles, a Gag Reel, what it takes to be a Navy Seal and deleted scenes courtesy of Paramount.
