So that's the new H50
My take....First the good

Using the original Theme song, an updated recording but basically the classic theme!
Opening credits
The Black Mercury Jack Lord drove in the original.
Original HQ building,The Iolani Palace
The Korea opening sequence was good
I did not mind the new cast,Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim I liked,did not see enough of Grace Park to form an opinion yet
But Alex O'Loughlin is a bit wooden & flat.
Fast paced, maybe to much so?

The not so good...
One of the biggest characters in the original was Hawaii itself and more Hawaiian shirts!
weak plot,the clues just fall in their laps with no real police work.
Weak and two dimensional Antagonist, I can't blame James Marsters he only has about two minutes of screen time,very under written
really makes me miss Wo Fat!
Super close up fight scenes,you can't tell what the hell is going on! I hate that!

So bottom line it did not suck,get some better writing & it could be good.
needs more character development,no real team dynamic as yet,flesh out the Antagonist.

you can watch it online at CBS.com if you missed it
