Our family loved Hawaii 5-0 and Scott Cann especially, but unfortunately this does not deliver. Unbelievable police interactions, allowing a civilian (even if they're an ex-LEO) in on cases, the high school-esque drama between characters, the disregard for all protocol and even marginally accurate procedures.... I could go on. Found most of the dialogue to be cringy and forced, for example, "We need help not a headache, and you're giving me a migraine." Huh? The horrible fake crying from the mother of the missing girl...ew. The proposal scene? Another level of cringe I didn't even want to watch. The fiancé saying that someone jumping from a second story balcony and into a pool made him think he'd never see her again...ummm ok. The scream from the token spiritual, do things in an off-the-wall way but it's somehow endearing and not at all inappropriate for the workplace lady when they "found" their "son" and everyone around her smiling and accepting it....mmmkay. And this is all just after watching 1 episode!! Not to mention the completely ridiculous insinuation that they grabbed their long-time missing son off an ambulance without any questions as to why it took 6 years for someone to ask for a ransom AND marked him as found without our verification of literally any details! I will watch more to see if this gets any better but if other reviews are to be believed, it won't.
