Did anyone watch the premiere of this last night? I've never seen the original so I can't compare, but I really enjoyed last night's episode of this remake that is totally new to me. I was on the edge of my seat for the full hour. The body count in the first five minutes was probably up there with some of the best high budget hollywood action films.
I understand that the original was a very serious drama. In the new version it seemed like a nice balance of serious and campiness. The dialogue between McGarrett and Danno was quick, sarcastic, witty, and fun to listen to.
I promised myself that I wasn't going to watch any new shows this year, but if the writers can keep this up I just might have to make an exception.
Daniel Dae Kim scored a role in this, which is what prompted me to watch it in the first place. I have to say that it was pretty lucky on his part to score a role in a major TV show filmed in Hawaii, right after finishing Lost which was also filmed in Hawaii. He's probably the only member of Lost's cast and crew who didn't have to move. :thumbsup:
