BEST: Hawaii Five-0 (1968-1980 and 2010-present) Rarely have two shows with the same title been more different. The original Five-O starred Jack Lord — craggly-faced, dripping with gravitas — in a relatively straightforward, sober detective series. The new Five-O features a gorgeous, bantering ensemble cast with fantastic clothes investigating blockbuster-movie villains with iPads and explosions. The two shows do, however, share a fantastic tropical setting, which means that that both generations feel like vivid travelogues masquerading as procedurals. (And that theme song!)Source: Ew.com

So nice to read something good about the show - actually to read anything at all. Last year there seemed to be a distinct lack of promotion - articles and interviews for the show. Hopefully that will change this year. I think all of the actors seem able to handle themselves in an interview and speak 'intelligently', unlike last year ...

I agree, I think it is one of the best reboots. And redoing a series is not easy - it has to be a little bit of the old and a little bit of the new. So, in this case PL desires the praise for rebooting this series successfully

Thanks Diana, nice to read some positive feedback about the show. Having seen some of the other reboots H50 and Battlestar Galactica have done the best job of bringing us an updated version whilst still showing respect for the original . H50 is number one for me.
