I believe the star who played Steve McGarrett had various injuries he received while filming and had limited his commitment to the series at 10 seasons.

Didn’t care for the Hawaii version of NCIS, nor did I care for the spin-offs of CSI, which is apparently being rebooted. To me all the reboots just show how starved for originality Hollywood has become. It’s the lazy way out; take a past successful show, make the new cast as diverse as possible, and throw in current computer technology. Yawn.

I used to love the Chicago franchise shows by Dick Wolf of “Law and Order” fame because they gave me a glimpse of home, but they’re wearing thin. All his shows seem to have a meta anti-cop message running through them at some point.

I enjoyed the first show though of N.C.I.S. Hawai'i.
I didn’t like it for the simple reason that I thought the acting wasn’t good

Default T.V. as a whole

I'm almost home-bound (not due to covid but physical issues) so watch A LOT of television. I used to watch the original then went on with the off-shoots but that was short-lived. Too much of the same-old, same old and as another poster said NOT much imagination. Take that over to the Law and Order (I like crime shows if done well) franchise. Binge-watched SVU during the lock-down but got weary of it. When the new season began, decided to give it another shot (the 2-hr "special" was tedious IMO) then went on to the off-shoot one. Decided it's too dark for me so won't continue. Doubt I will with the SVU too. It was better, early on---but again my personal taste.
I no longer remain faithful to the 3 networks anymore and their prime-time junk. I'm finding I like the British police shows, their dramas too PLUS old re-hashing of series from years ago that we watched in our youth. They're lighter and funnier...again my opinion.

The British and German shows do seem better if you like the Masterpiece Theater type of show. More character development and less sex and violence.
