Hawaii Five-O - The Fifth Season Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I am writing from the UK, I have recorded a fair number of the season 5 episodes from TV transmission on VHS some years ago, and in any case remember much of the series from the original broadcasts in the 70s.
Season 5 is one of the three best seasons of Hawaii Five-O (the other two are to come, including the very best ever).
I understand viewer frustration when publishers needlessly edit these releases, but apart from the omission of the season 2 episode, I have personally not been aware of any such editing.
Season 4 was released with cheaper packaging and downbeat motifs on the discs themselves, and along with other comments here, I am scared silly that the publishers may not release all 12 seasons (I have the first four on DVD now and would buy the other 8 at the drop of a hat if given the chance). However the content and transfer is first rate at least for teh first 4 seasons.
Reasons why Hawaii Five-O is -great- on DVD:
- The wonderful locations really come across like they never did on VHS or original broadcast - e.g. the background sounds of the waves breaking on the beach or the wind in the trees, or the bright vivid colours on a sun-soaked clear day. Some episodes make me feel a little bit like I'm on holiday/vacation.
- In today's world of moral uncertainty, Jack Lord is a breath of fresh air with his clear values, integrity, and respect for the law. You may not agree with how he handles every situation - but he makes you think.
- As we advance through the seasons, the plots get quite sufficiently clever to make it worth watching for these alone.
- Good plots + strong characters + wonderful locations = a heady mix.
- The series is also respectful of cultures, and deals with many colourful issues.
So my suggestion is that you can't make a mistake by buying this one (S5), and since there is so much great material yet to come, let's keep the sales up, so we might have a chance at getting all 12 seasons?
. . . plus - when can we have this one in the UK please? . . the seasons are being released sooo slowly!
