You have used this show addition to death and time to put it out of our misery please

As many negative reviews have noted, this television show has sub-par acting, weak plotlines, poor direction, and soap-opera like directing, all wrapped up in PG-13 hyper-violence and bikinis and a buddy-cop plot that grows old by the first season. The real problem with this show is what it actually promotes and likely is accepted by the unthinking audience, namely the morality of police brutality and the trampling of constitutional rights. Nearly every show features the "heroes" and "heroines" defying the Fourth and Fifth Amendments and ridiculing the Second Amendment. Houses are broken into, arrested persons are treated as guilty and while handcuffed are beaten, property is searched and seized without warrant or immediate cause. While an audience might like the idea of bad-boy cops as heroes, the show champions the idea that citizens do not have the right to defend themselves against threats to their person or property (or even against a tyrannical government), that arrested citizens are presumed guilty, that citizens' property is not protected by the law (or in this case the supposed defenders/enforcers of law), that arrested do not have the right to due process, etc. It also assumes that cops/law enforcement spend most of their days justifiably running around with their guns drawn, happily shooting presumed bad guys in private or in public spaces (and the cops pay no attention to where all their bullets go as the body count would be huge with most episodes from those wounded and killed by police bullets), beating handcuffed arrested bad-guys in interrogation without the representation by an attorney, etc. (Pay attention to how many times these bad-boy cops beat up people who cannot defend themselves, even if that person plays an overt criminal.) The show is crap, but dangerous crap that perpetuates the denial of foundational freedoms for Americans who apparently accept this mindless and unartistic drivel as normative. Use your brain and reject this twaddle.

Let's face it, new ideas are far a few between on the countless channels available to watch. I think remakes are a good idea as long as the original show's integrity is kept. I think they did a great job on the pilot setting up the show for just that. The updating done, rocks especially in the form of Grace park as Kono. Love the potential relationship between Mcgarret and dan-o. And daniel dae Kim is always consummate, he will do great as chin- ho. Let's remember, Hawaii five-0 was a lot of fun in my childhood and I think the young kids are entitled to have the same. With all the nonsense on the tube today, who could argue that this show isn't slick and fun. Summer is gone with shows like dating in the dark etc. Long live Hawaii and Hawaii five-0

Doesn't anyone get tired of the constant bickering between Danny and Steve or is this just the incompetence of the writers? (Send them to Hallmark.) Turning off the sound and making up your own storyline is the only way to watch this show.
