Hawaii Five -O are back, It starts a US prisoner army transport and the threat of killing McGarrett’s father but they are taking out by a helicopter, it certainly starts with a ton of automatic fire power. McGarrett is part of a dying breed in that land at the moment. McGarrett father ends up dead. McGarret finds out that they’ve put fresh blood on his father’s murder case, and visits the crime scene.

Now Williams is fighting over McGarrett with his tactics of getting a suspect to talk and comparing his tactics to GITMO! So what if it gets the job done, so be it, there the Governor’s task force she knew his resume. the team is now looking to rescue one of there own on top of a kid and a ex NSA operative, the team is going to forced to kick some major butt! Can Kono prepare a exit plan on the DL?

Even at a football game the Five-O unit can their fair share of trouble without needing to look for it. Chin Ho Kelly brings in Sid his cousin who is a under cover cop with the gang unit, Sid refuses to talk in front of Chin Ho Kelly. Gun running ring ran out of a Pizza shop, now that’s a new one.A old NJ gang member in Hawaii the Five-O are going to need to take him down.

The 5-O is called in on a saturday. Can the 5-O solve this? Of course they can! A major surfer has been shot Kono is on scene let’s call in 5-O, this case will affect Kono, like no other case that Kono has been forced to investigate, though she’s still a rookie and her days are young.

McGarrett meets a old buddy from his seal team, but is he playing for the other team on this one?

McGarrett and the team find out that the killer for hire is called Nick Taylor, Steve’s old friend. 5-O need to do some street smart and crazy driving. McGarrett, realizes that Taylor cloned his signal, and HPD isn’t coming, now they need to work out a escape plan. 5-O are armed with glocks while the enemy is armed with automatic fire power, no match, but the skillset is what counts not the power.

Kono has been placed at the scene of the locker break in with the missing money. McGarret is now under arrest for the murder of the governor.

Overall: 10/10

Conclusion:

(Please note: I’m not comparing this to the original Five-O as I never had the pleasure of watching the original five-O)

I’m starting to wonder why Kelly is always the one with the pump action shotgun. I love how they mix things up but there’s always a fair share of action no matter what. I picked this up because it looked sweet. I was extremely happy to find Claire Van Der Boom, in this drama as Danny’s Ex Wife Rachel, for once she didn’t get killed off (Referring to her other roles on Rush, No Greater Honor.). It was great to see team put a australian on the pay roll. 5-O was never short on drama, the tool box was something that kept coming back to haunt the McGarrett, The way they ended the season with the cliffhanger I’m starting to wonder if there will be a 5-O next season, but I’ll have to wait for the next dvd release. It was well thought out, The 5-O had many different aspects to the team, Kono, a ex professional surfer a rookie cop, Danny moved from New Jersey to be close to his daughter Grace, Chin Ho a cop accuse of corruption but is trusted by McGarrett, and last but not least Steve McGarrett, unethical is one word for his actions for effective they are, a ex seal was a nice mix in to the team of the 5-0.

I’d highly recommend this series, the action is excellent and well thought out, the stories are interesting and they’ve got the mystery of the tool box to solve so why not buckle up for some made driving and crazy shooting and watch 5-O these holidays.
