A CBS crime drama set in the 50th state, Hawaii Five-0 TV show stars Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan, Meaghan Rath, Jorge Garcia, Taylor Wily, Dennis Chun, Kimee Balmilero, Chi McBride, Beulah Koale, and Ian Anthony Dale. Based on the 1970s series of the same name, this TV show follows the work of an elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the islands’ sun-drenched beaches. The team is led by Detective Steve McGarrett (O’Loughlin), a decorated Naval officer turned cop. He returned to Oahu after Hawaii’s former governor persuaded him to head up the new team, They operate under his rules with no red tape and full blanket authority to hunt down the biggest “game” in town.
