Released: 1968

Audience

Hawaii Five-O is a police procedural set in Hawaii, centered on a special state task force tackling crimes across the islands. Each week brings a new case, often involving serious offenses, as the team works to bring offenders to justice under its tough leader.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy Hawaii Five-O if you like classic TV police dramas with big island vibes and straightforward weekly cases; Not for you if you want modern realism or contemporary pacing, and if you prefer faster spy thrills over shows like Mannix or Mission: Impossible.
