What do you think? Do you watch Hawaii Five-0? Are you excited for the new season?
I will be watching and can’t wait. Brings me home every time I watch Hawaii 50. Born and raised there but live in Maryland.
Cannot wait!!! Love the score, love the characters, their family commitment. Such a great movie with a good message.
YES
Oh, yes. Can’t wait.
Bring back Sang Min, best character they ever had. New cast is ok. Don’t compare to Chin and Kono!
Sang Min!!!!
I love the show but I REALLY MISS Chin Ho and Kono
I was a fan of the original series and an avid viewer of the new one. The aerial views of the island are breathtakingly beautiful. I really like the cast and story lines. It was good to see a couple of my favorites from other series (Chi, Jorge and Masi). I hope your writers won’t get caught up taking us through long drawn out soap opera sagas that take endless episodes to resolve. So many other series did that and (at least for me) viewers forget how or why it all began. Have a great new season, I’ll be watching,… Read more »
Yes I watch it. Also watched the original series . I miss Daniel Dae Kim–his character and skills . Never thought Grace Park was great as Kono. Nevertheless the replacements are ok. Ready for the new season to start.
I absolutely love the show can’t wait till they start. Missing Chin Ho Kelly and Kono kalakaua wish they were back on the show.
I love Hawaii Five-0!!! Can’t wait for new season!!!

I love Hawaii five o I love the actors too
Love Hawaii 50. I watched the original series, and the remake is even better. The cast is fantastic, and makes for a great Friday evening.
This is by far my favorite show. I too also watched the original and as much as I loved Jack Lord et al I love Alex O’Loughlin et al and the newer approach to things. Looking forward to 9/28! ❤
