When the bodies of two serial killers are found on Five-0 property with chess pieces in their mouths, McGarrett and the team hunt for a vigilante as fear grows that tourists aren’t safe in Hawaii, on the seventh season premiere of HAWAII FIVE-0, Friday, Sept. 23

CBS translated Makaukau ‘oe e Pa’ani? to Ready to Play?

I’m not quite back to my normal lengthy reviews, but I will give it my best shot.

Some long months are finally over and we have our beloved show back. And I can finally rant and rave about what I loved, liked and what I think was ridiculous, stupid or otherwise didn’t meet my standards.

Before we dive into the review let’s have the vote.

MacGyver 1.01

Don’t fear, this will not be a full review. 😉

So, now we have seen our new lead-in. Will it be a good match? I guess only time will tell.

I lasted all but fifteen minutes, then I had more than enough. I couldn’t stand the lead, I couldn’t stand the narrative, I couldn’t stand the use of every cliché in the book on this show. Give me a break, please.

For the cast and crew, I hope they will find their audience that will love them, support them and carry them through their first season.

But I will not be one of them.

I will, however, watch the second episode because I have learned that the pilot can often be deceiving. Not every show gets off with such a brilliant pilot like Five-0. Often the second episode is way better.

So, MacGyver will get one more shot.

 

Perspective

… Or Why I Still Love Five-0

I bet for many people there is an easy answer to the question “Why do you love Five-0?”. At first glance that would be an easy one for me too. Yes, like for many others, the main draw to the show, and lately even more so, is my love for one actor.

But as I said that would be the easy answer, and as I found out after reflecting on the past seasons, and in particular the last one, not the right answer.

In this season we’re going from a man in love, ready to propose, to a man losing almost everything important to him. The woman he loves and his liver. 😉 That pretty much sucks.

This season could be called “From happily ever after to happy liver after”.
