Hawaii Five-0 (2010–2020)
6/10
All male everything.
22 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Stories are a bit tired and a lot is recycled from other crime shows. Mostly reviewing to point out that this has the standard misogynist storyline with 6+ male leads that are prominent throughout the entire series, but only 1 permanent female character. Varying levels of 'attractiveness' for men, but don't expect to see a woman with a BMI over 18 or a woman over 30 who isn't there for a 'reason' (relation to an existing character). This limits the storyline dramatically, and makes the series repetitive and flat. This is why BBC TV series are seeing a surge in popularity- they are more relatable while still keeping the exciting qualities. Aside from that, assuming the machismo is meant to reflect the original series- but it is outdated and obnoxious to have every male have the same canned personality.

That being said, mildly entertaining, but just a standard crime show that feels like a time- filler.
