Rescue: HI-Surf

This is a great new show. The cast is amazing and you can see the comradery among them. The range of characters make it easy for you to identify with them easily. The setting is in Hawaii's North Shore also known as Hawaii's Seven Mile Miracle. Family friendly and the stories are funny, exciting and definitely unexpected. Give this show a chance. All shows start off slow to some but it's only because you don't know the characters yet. This could end up being as great a show as the original Hawaii 5-0, the new Hawaii 5-0, the original Magnum P. I., the new Magnum P. I., NCIS Hawaii( which should not have been cancelled Paramount). I for one love this show and hope it continues on for many seasons. Favorite characters so far are Sonny and Hina.

I read a number of reviews complaining of the slow pace. I don't think it's slow. I do think it's balanced. I don't want emergency after emergency with no break. I do want to see the team relaxing and I'm enjoying the various story lines.

And the scenery. Oh my goodness! It's amazing! I thoroughly enjoy the shots of the ocean. The underwater camera work is awe-inspiring.

It's interesting to me to see the behind the scene machinations with the politics of everything. I'm kind of pleased to see that isn't just a mainland issue.

This is a truly pleasant show. Even the few people that the team can't rescue are handled with a full story. I was crying along with the actors at the ceremony on their boards where they threw the purple flowers. (I'm trying to to be a spoiler here).

It isn't pulse pounding, excitement every minute, but it's a string workplace show with amazing scenery and some truly heroic action.

Story is ok kind of slow. But the action sequences are top tier with the camera angels. Seems like a modern day bay watch for this generation if of tv viewers with the similar drama. Hopefully the branching stories don't get stale in the long run. Hawaii is a great choice since the north shore is one of the most dangerous beaches in the e tire world to surf. Knowing fox they will axe this show after one season since modern television shows now these days don't last no more than a season of all platforms of streaming and cable TV networks. But overall it's a good popcorn on your couch type of television fun.

Welcome to North Shore unless you're in the recording booth doing post production audio replacement dialogue.. Someone should've worked on that a little bit more because some dialogue sounds janky, other bits are really noticeable and it's fine but you think it would've been picked up?.

Well not many shows set on the beach other then reality TV or all the seasons of Bondi Rescue.

This is like Bondi Rescue but not in Sydney. It's set in Hawaii which is stunning in this and it was great to see Robbie Magasiva playing Sonny, he finally looks settled and happy post Wentworth and while I love him, I see the character battling some bad demons.

Sonny made a deal with the 'devil' hoping he sees that persons lies soon enough.

Here for the banter between characters keeping it real in a dangerous profession and being there for each other when needed.

I did read several of the existing reviews and i wonder where those viewers are from. I say this because while the writing could be better for this show, it actually mimics life in hawaii pretty well. Characters like sonny, hina, kainalu and laka fit real life people. Many times, shows/moves based in hawaii don't show the real hawaii or culture.

Some of the things laka said made me giggle because i thought only people from hawaii would understand that! Uncle sonny seems like a real uncle with real life challenges. Hina portrays the local girl who is just trying to make it on her own and try to get away from the many responsibilities we have growing up that we are sort of "forced" to do because that's what we do.

Overall, i liked the show because it gives me a taste of home. It could use some work though!
