Hawaii‘s action-laden high-stakes unlikely cop action echoes back to an earlier time of TV cop shows, to the days of car chases and attitude, to the days before the inside-the-human development of Hill Street Blues. In other words, back to the cop shows I found uninteresting.
(Oh, and speaking of shows named for places I’ll be visiting over the next few weeks, I thought that the season’s first episode of Las Vegas was kind of weak — not in the somewhat over-the-top man-returns-damaged-from-war storyline, which was actually okay, but simply that the performances and shooting seemed loose and sloppy in a way that Las Vegas generally has not.)
