Of course Hawaii is a place that is already visited by British people, by I wonder if this remake airing in prime hours on British TV will spark an increase in British tourism to Hawaii. The show is like an advertisement for Hawaiian tourism, really -- assuming you don't count all the villains the show's heroes spend their time trying to thwart.

Just watched the first one and really enjoyed it. Very "high octane" I guess, so it'll be interesting to see if that's the pace they want to maintain.
as has been said, good chemistry between steve and danno as well and it was nice to see 'that' line at the end as well ![]() definitely sticking with this one - although my list of programs will be creaking even more with the likes of house coming back and ncis, stargate and eureka soon as well .. *groan* |

Loved it, although I could have done without the continuity woman talking all over the theme tune!

Never watched NCIS LA beyond the first episode... thought it was quite bad compared to the original NCIS. Certainly going to watch HF0 again though
![]() I don't think it ever fully recovered from Louise Lombard leading the Pilot, to being junked for the production series run. |

Yeah, 'cos in 2010 as in 1968, special state task forces, deter and arrest the bad guys using water balloons, spud guns and ninja style rope burns.

I liked what i saw, very action packed and doesn't take itself seriously at all. Definitely tuning in next week ![]() And to the poster who said it was "unneccesarily violent"...it really wasn't. You didn't really see anything gory or anything, and the shootouts were so OTT that it was impossible to take it seriously (in a good way!). I loved seeing the main cop hanging the suspect over the side of the building, lol. Quote:

It is unlikely to go to terrestial television as it is too violent unless they cut it. They had their chance before Bravo snapped it up and they could not afford big money. Has Spartacus come to terrestial. Not yet and they could have outbid before Bravo.

Quite enjoyed it. Much better than NCIS LA which I switched off as it's pants compared to NCIS.

It really did look quite stunning in HD didn't it! Probably the best picture quality i've seen on Sky1HD for months. CSi Miami Dexter HFO Planet Earth etc.... Some SciFi shows can look a bit dreary, depending on how good your telly is on how black your blacks are. That's a contrast statement, before the Phobia police are called out on Red Alert ![]()

If one of the terrestrial channels was going to pick it up I’d say it would definitely be Five, but I suspect Sky might have the full rights and are going to keep it exclusive. I think they’ve done the same with NCIS:LA as given the success NCIS is on Five I’d be surprised if they wouldn’t want to air the LA version given the chance. By the way, for those of you with Sky+ Anytime the first two episodes are now available on demand in HD on you Sky+ box. |

Are you kidding?! Yeah it was a bit violent but no more so that the likes of 24 and Prison Break, both of which have been on primetime terrestrial television.

You get to see a lot of her. Especially when she is wearing the bikini.
