Hawaii Five-0 ended its run on CBS after 10 seasons, and the last scene of the episode was full of emotion. Peter Lenkov revealed why the final moments of the series were so emotional. There were some real tears shed by the cast in those moments.
Per Deadline, Lenkov revealed the following about the end of the CBS series:
“I had told the cast and crew two hours earlier that the decision was made that the show was not coming back. Everything you see there in that scene, including the dog, was so real. You almost had to imagine that the dog sensed it. (laughs) But everything you saw in that goodbye was real tears and genuine affection and emotion for each other.”
Lenkov also feels that the scene was the best scene of Hawaii Five-0 he ever shot. The series did go out on a high note. It had the highest ratings in 27 episodes for the series.
What do you think? Did you enjoy the finale of Hawaii Five-0? Do you want the series to return?
I loved 5 O and hate to see it end. That was part of starting the weekend.
Please bring it back.
Yes, I love H50. Please bring it back, even if you have to replace the actor who played Steve McGarett. My understanding is that it was canceled because he didn’t want to do it any longer.
Was so so sorry to see 50 go. The cast had come together after previous changes that were also sad. My vote is to come back, please, please, please!!!
I totally agree
I thought that the finale, other than the tears was terrible. I don’t like the tome that McGarrett left on. Just like that, he was gone without any clues as to what is going to happen to the team. I did not care for it at all. then, he meets up with Katherine and they act like there was never time apart……Horrible ending…….Just left Danny they could have written something where they went off together still remaining friends or something…….Very disappointed.
I will miss the show. Would love to see it come back.
I’m very sad to see Hawai five O end, this was our Friday night ritual.
We will definitely miss Five O. I really felt so sad for the cast.
The show was so much a part of my weekly routine I really would love for it to stay on air all the cast members have done a wonderful job so please think twice before you hit the cancel button again
I watched the finale wasn’t to enjoyable to watch
I was crying till the end . I used to watch the original
And watched the show as series and repeats. I am going to miss Friday shows now it won’t be the same. Plus junior and the women i can’t remember her name were just being connected I would love to see the show come back
I was a fan of the show. Especially when it started on Monday nights. It gave me something to watch. It had hokey plots but it was endearing. That was its charm.
I loved the finale but hated seeing the show end. Hawaii 5 O has always been a favorite for me. I use to watch the original 5 O when I was a kid. I would live to see it come back.
I love this show and look forward to watching it every friday night,could you have just let dano and Steve go and put someone in there place,it’s not the same as original but it was a great show,good luck to everyone,will miss you
I loved this show, it was the best remake of all, I cried alot and was heart broken to hear it ended. Best of luck to all the cast.
Yes, please bring this show back. It has been like family to me, a constant in all the changes that swirl around us. The last show was so emotional and well done. Yes there were car chases and shoutouts but there were also meaningful lessons to be learned about how we should treat people and value the really important things in our lives.
Ironically, the acting and directing got a whole lot better for the last season. I had originally thought that they’d upped the quality due to Magnum PI which was more emotionally charged and who’s characters were more individually interesting. The HAWAIIAN element was also more prevalent in Magnum, which, when you’re shooting in such an exotic location, should be a major aspect around which to build the stories. Bearing this in mind, I am sad to see it go.
Was so glad to see Catherine’s return I have wanted the two to get back together every season. When they st there holding hands it was so real ..So emotional. No words were necessary. LOved the show and will miss it .will be watching reruns .
