Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

april99 I think Hawaii is very original. At first, when I heard about, I thought it was going to be one of those junky reality shows. I think that the seven to eight main cops or coroners make the show very realistic, because, in real life, you cannot pull out a full sqaudron out of your back pocket. I think Micheal Biehn and the guy from ER makes the show very lovable. I think that if you have seen an episode of Hawaii, you might agree with me. I also think this show is better than the CSI and the Law & Order shows. This is in a totally new atmosphere and a totally new culture to learn about.

plsmith-1 I was channel surfing and ran into this show and decided to watch it. I was not disappointed. Good action, some tech stuff, nice scenery (both the landscape and some of the female cops *wink*) and I like the way the writers were able to weave the A & B plots into each other. (one plot supplying info or items to support the other plot) and I felt the writers did a pretty good job of it. And as a bonus, a "C" plot was also thrown in for good measure. It was a shock though to see Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (normally the heavy in most films) playing the ultimate good guy as Captain Terry Harada. (I kept wanting to tell the other cops "Lookout! That's Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat! He's Evil!") But it was interesting to see him in a different role. Most of the acting was decent and the plots were interesting and even funny.I recommend this show to those that like to see several well written tales woven into each other.Paul

ST9494 Many great television shows have been canceled prematurely because thenetworks did not give them a chance to find their voice ('My So Called Life', 'Boomtown'). There are still some shows on today that don't have the ratings, but the networks haven't given up on them ('Alias', '24'). Don't rule out this show based on the first few episodes. Many shows find aLONG life because they were given a shot (look up the history of Seinfeld if you doubt my comments). The networks need to let these new shows find theirniche. This show has some potential. It's got a great cast and a beautifulsetting. Hang in there Hawaii. I'll keep coming back.

pdrdes This show is above average, with good strong acting and beautiful scenery. I want to give it more time to develop but one thing is for sure, more Aya Sumika. She's talented, beautiful and will definitely be going places! What else has she been in?? The interplay between the characters is going to take some time to develop, but I hope they try and do something different. Too many shows go for the tired formulas and the unfortunate demise of the very fine Boomtown may discourage producers to be daring. Let's hope Hawaii can rise above being a "guilty pleasure" cop show. Great location ( i Used to live there). Good all around cast. The story lines -- we'll have to wait and see. But these guys are off to a good start. Viva Hawaii.
