September 20, 2010 – April 3, 2020
Hawaii Five-0 is an American police procedural television series developed for television by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Peter M. Lenkov for CBS. It is a reboot of the 1968–1980 series Hawaii Five-O (the original series had the letter "O" instead of the number "0" in its title), which also aired on CBS. The series starred Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan and centers around a fictional special police major crimes task force operating at the behest of the governor of Hawaii. It was produced by K/O Paper Products and 101st Street Television, initially in association with CBS Television Studios. The series premiered on September 20, 2010, and ran for a total of ten seasons, with the series finale airing on April 3, 2020.
Alongside O'Loughlin and Caan, the cast originally consisted of Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park, both of whom left after season seven. Other cast mates included Taryn Manning, Masi Oka, Lauren German, Michelle Borth, Chi McBride, Jorge Garcia, Meaghan Rath, Taylor Wily, Dennis Chun, Kimee Balmilero, Beulah Koale, Ian Anthony Dale and Katrina Law. The series aired on Mondays for its first three seasons. Beginning with season four, the program was moved to Fridays.
The series takes place in same fictional universe with fellow reboot series MacGyver and Magnum P.I., both of which were also developed by Peter M. Lenkov. The three shows have been collectively referred to as the "Lenkov-verse", and Hawaii Five-0 had crossover episodes with both of the others. The series also exists in the same fictional universe as the NCIS franchise by way of a crossover event with NCIS: Los Angeles.
Hawaii Five-0 received praise for its modern take on the original series, and was a solid ratings performer for CBS at the time of its release. The series received several award nominations including a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film for Caan, and three Teen Choice Awards for Choice TV Action Show, Choice TV Action Actor for Dae Kim and Choice TV Action Actress for Park. In addition, the series also made a positive effect on the Hawaii economy.
Storyline[]
The series covers the actions of the Hawaii Five-0 Task Force, a fictional small, specialized Hawaii Department of Public Safety major crimes task force headed by former United States Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett (United States Navy Reserve). The task force answers only to the Governor of Hawaii and is given full immunity and means. The task force has no restrictions and is always backed by the Governor. The team is able to investigate crimes ranging from terrorism to kidnapping as well as murder and robberies.
Steve McGarrett recruits Honolulu Police Department Detective-Sergeant Danny "Danno" Williams as his partner and unofficial second in command of the team. He fills out the team by recruiting ex-HPD Detective-Lieutenant Chin Ho Kelly, his fathers/s protégé, and Chin's cousin, Officer Kono Kalakaua, a rookie HPD officer. Department of Homeland Security Special Agent Lori Weston is also assigned to the team later on, although she is later forced to return to the DHS by the Governor. They are assisted by Dr. Max Bergman, a medical examiner for the City and County of Honolulu. Steve later adds Captain Lou Grover, a HPD SWAT commander and a transfer from the Chicago Police Department, Special Consultant Jerry Ortega, Chin's high school classmate, a conspiracy theorist and a consultant for the task force, and for a brief time, Lieutenant Catherine Rollins, Steve's girlfriend and ex-US Navy Office of Naval Intelligence. Following Max, Chin, and Kono's departures, Max is replaced by medical examiner Dr. Noelani Cunha, and McGarrett fills in Chin and Kono's spots by hiring high-achieving HPD academy washout Tani Rey and ex-US Navy SEAL Special Warfare Operator Second Class-turned-Police Candidate Junior Reigns. Later on, Kono's husband Adam Noshimuri joins the task force following the couple's divorce, and shortly after Jerry's departure, United States Army CID Staff Sergeant Quinn Liu is recruited in his place. The team is also assisted by confidential informant Kamekona Tupuola, and HPD liaison Sergeant Duke Lukela.
