Hawaii Five-0

So, I finally got around to watching the H50 pilot.

Boy, that McGarrett is an arrogant prick, isn't he?

Not really sure that bodes well for the rest of the series.

It takes a ton of self-confidence and sheer determination to make it through SEAL training. The two I met in RL were arrogant, but with marshmallow hearts. I don't think Steve's characterisation is out of line, but the show plays hard on his belief that he can do no wrong, especially first season.

Ah. What about the other characters? Danny, Kono, Chin? The pilot focuses on Steve, but it's an ensemble cast.

Kono is Grace Park's character, and yes, she does get several eps where she doesn't appear half naked.

I'm surprised that you see Danny as not having much character. He came through clearly for me in the pilot. What are you looking for?

*nods* you may not like it because of its format, but the first season has a theme of ohana (family). I know folks who never liked it; that's OK too. You may like Once Upon a Time better, but that's a completely different show.
