Season six of Hawaii Five-O is still strong not so much for the storytelling but the core cast which are really fun headlined by Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan with honorable mention to Chi McBride whose presence is always welcome.

SEASON SYNOPSIS
|
| The heat’s on as the Hawaii Five-0 team takes on some of the Aloha State’s most notorious and baffling criminal cases involving murder, the Mob, espionage, and kidnapping. With McGarrett (ALEX O’LOUGHLIN) and Danny (SCOTT CAAN) at the helm, the team interrogates members of a renegade stunt-bikers gang, pursues a rogue Russian spy with access to NSA secrets, and partners with an autistic child in a murder investigation. Chin (DANIEL DAE KIM) and Kono (GRACE PARK) are held at gunpoint by two killers who don’t know they’re cops, and Grover (CHI MCBRIDE) – and his family – are haunted by a 15-year-old Mob investigation. Meanwhile, Catherine (MICHELLE BORTH) returns to the islands and McGarrett prepares to take their relationship to the next level. |

| Hawaii Five-O: The Sixth Season charges onto DVD presented with an anamorphic widescreen (1.78 AR) which more or less matches up how it aired with bright colors that shows off the beautiful Hawaiian landscape. The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is strong between the crisp and clean dialogue to the recognizable, albeit updated, theme song booming across every channel. |
OVERALL – 3.5/5 |
|
Overall, season six of Hawaii Five-O is still strong not so much for the storytelling but the core cast which are really fun headlined by Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan with honorable mention to Chi McBride whose presence is always welcome. The DVD released by Paramount offers up great video/audio transfers and a fine selection of bonus material. |
