I sort of agree with you about the violence, but the same could be said about almost any action drama on television right now. Personally I don’t mind it, if I watched an action drama with no violence in it I’d probably think it was rubbish these days. The original Hawaii Five 0 wouldn’t get viewers in this day and age, times have changed, and Hawaii Five O has too.
As for the first episode of season 4, I enjoyed it, there was certainly a lot going on, maybe a bit too much. But what about Danny’s car! I loved that car, and for me it was sort of part of the programme. Seeing it blown up reminded me of when Crockets Ferrari got blown up in an episode of Miami Vice, it was almost like a character was being killed off.
Off to watch the first episode of season 5 of NCIS:LA now…
