What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, Hawaii Five-0 is a reboot of the original CBS TV show, which ran from 1968 to 1980. The police procedural follows a federalized task force meant to wipe out crime in Hawaii. Detective Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) returned to Oahu to investigate his father’s murder but remained to lead the new group with blanket authority and no red tape. The force includes ex-New Jersey cop Detective Danny “Danno” Williams (Scott Caan). A former protégé of McGarrett’s father, Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) is also on board, as is his beautiful cousin, Kono Kalakaua (Grace Park). Quirky coroner Dr. Max Bergman (Masi Oka), Captain Lou Grover (Chi McBride), and conspiracy theorist Jerry Ortega (Jorge Garcia) round out the team. While they spar and joke among themselves, the teammates are determined to eliminate all seedy elements from the 50th state.

Telly’s Take
While TV shows typically decline as they age, so far Hawaii Five-0 season seven has recovered all the ground it lost last year. It is nearly back to its season five levels. Provided Hawaii Five-0 keeps up its solid performance, it should be renewed for season eight. Star Alex O’Loughlin has indicated the show’s action sequences have taken their toll however. Should CBS renew Hawaii Five-0 for season eight, the actor plans to make it his final season. Overall, I think an eighth season is a relatively safe bet, but wouldn’t expect the show to continue much longer, after that.

I would enjoy this show a lot more if the music wasn’t louder than the voices. Can’t here what they are saying!!!!
Love Hawaii 5-0 . Please keep it going. So exciting there is a season 8.
I would have been gutted if they had pulled the plug on five-O. I’m old enough to remember the original series and I love the modern version, excellent. Please keep it going guys!
Love Hawaii Five O!!!
Please renew Hawaii 5-0. It’s one of the greatest shows on the silver screen.
I love the show wish it was different night but I catch up on demand really enjoy watching it
Please keep Hawaii 50 forever❤
This show is fantastic. All the characters are great and the story lines mix their professional and personal lives so well. I was saddened to hear Alex O’Loughlin will be leaving after series 8. I can’t imagine it going on much longer without him. Please reconsider, Alex. I’ve followed your career from the Moonlight days, as have many others.
I love Hawaii Five-O, everything about it, I have all the DVD box sets so far.
Please keep the show on for a long time. I love the Hawaii 5 0 show. My family has stayed in the Hilton Hawaiian hotel on ohau. So this show is very special to us.
Keep the show going. I commend the best performance ever by Grace Park I have ever seen her in…the episode about young girls involved in a sex trafficking show. Her strongest performance yet. I really enjoy the bantering between Danny and Steve, Love the scenery and ALL THE STORY PLOTS. kEEP ME WATCHING FOREVER.
Keep Hawaii 5-0 for season eight!!!
as it is turning into a curious mix of soap-opera, science fiction and superman it definitely should find its end asap!
I love Hawaii Five-O and have watched since S1. I hope that it is renewed and sorry to hear that Alex O’Loughlin would make next season his last one if renewed.
Please keep Hawaii five o
