NCIS: Hawai'i: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Caroline Framke Variety The show still feels of a piece with "NCIS" proper, military jargon, efficient dialogue, flashy mysteries and all. If you're already a fan, it's worth giving a shot. If not, there are plenty of other shows in the sea. Sep 20, 2021 Full Review NCIS: Hawai'i: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Monique Jones Common Sense Media This nice-to-look at series hits the usual beats you expect from a CBS procedural show, but gets props for legitimate inclusion of native Hawaiian people in its cast. Rated: 3/5 Oct 8, 2021 Full Review NCIS: Hawai'i: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Joel Keller Decider NCIS: Hawai'i will give you more of the same stuff you love, with the Aloha state as a beautiful backdrop. Sep 20, 2021 Full Review NCIS: Hawai'i: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review New team, same stories investigating crimes involving military personnel. Sep 20, 2021 Full Review NCIS: Hawai'i: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Glenn Garvin Reason Online Much of the script is meaningless jargon, procedural boilerplate, or leftover lines from other NCIS shows.

Max J What a load of garbage- wooden badly scripted and weak storylines- don’t both with the reruns Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Noreen W This show had me hooked from the first scene in the Pilot and did not disappoint. Great cast, characters and exciting stories. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Michael C It brings nothing new to the table. The characters and lines can be infuriating. Between the plot holes and the same stereotypical villains it's a very mind numbing watch. Only gets a bump in stars for the locations used. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Maverick M Good, solid first season. And I enjoyed the plotline of how we arrived at NCIS: Hawaii existing. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Patrick M Pansy violence scenes and very lame romance plots. The love scenes are strongly reminiscent of the Harlequin Romance style and have no place in the NCIS world. There is almost a total absence of gunfire throughout. Too many times the perp escapes into the wind without a single shot fired by pursuing agents in close proximity. UGH!!! The censorship reigns are pulled in so tight on this supposed TV14-rated series that it seems more like TV6, as in Sesame Street. Not real. Not worth my time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Karen q I just watched my first episode. I couldn't help but to stare at the terrible wigs worn by two of the characters. If the actresses have crappy hair then buy better wigs or get new actresses. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
