Expected Low Expectations but Really Surprising!

Warning: Spoilers
I keep saying that the original is the original. But really the show has personality and more character development. The original may be great but this updated version has more of a character development.

Australian actor, Alex O Loughlin has the lead role of Navy SEAL Steve McGarrett who is offered by the Governor(Jean Smart) to run the Hawaii Five 0 Task Force, no red tape and full immunity from prosecution.

After his cop father, Jack was fatally shot. At first McGarrett refuses but then after he got into a clash with the lead investigator, Detective Williams, did the Governor swore him in over the phone.

There he picks NJ cop and single day Danny "Danno" Williams(Scott Caan of the "Ocean movies" and son of James) to be his partner. And Hawaii police LT Chin Ho(Daniel Dae Kim from "Lost")accused of corruption but is a great cop nonetheless. And Ho's cousin Kono(played by Battlestar Galatica's Grace Park), a rookie cop.

Really great chemistry despite at times the writing and story lines being cheesy. A great way to start off a new version of the classic show for today's generation!
