Hawaii Five-O TV Series

I hadn't heard anything about this but it actually looks like it could be fun. It stars Alex O’Loughlin as Steve McGarrett, Daniel Dae Kim ('Lost') as Chin Ho, Scott Caan as Danny Williams, and Grace Park ('Battlestar Galactica') as Chin Ho’s little sister.

From the writers behind the blockbuster “Star Trek” (2009) comes a clever, adrenaline-fueled update of one of the most iconic shows in television history. When there’s trouble in paradise, Steve McGarrett returns to the islands and joins fish-out-of-water Danny Williams to launch an elite branch of the Hawaii State Police. In this ultimate adventure series, complete with big action and charming characters, the team hunts down ruthless criminal kingpins, who inevitably hear those three feared words: “Book ’em, Danno.”

Four episodes in and this is actually a pretty fun show. Sure, it's a bit cliche-ridden but sometimes you need solid escapism for an hour a week.
