TV: Hawaii Five-0 (CBS, Mon 10)

The ongoing CBS project to make Alex O'Loughlin a star (Moonlight, Three Rivers) continues with Hawaii Five-0, and this attempt will probably succeed. But that success is despite O'Loughlin, not because of him. He's just as dull and wooden as ever, but he's been surrounded by a terrific supporting cast -- Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, and Grace Park -- who give the show great life, energy, and humor. It's a fairly traditional cop show, which is not a genre I enjoy enough to watch regularly, but it's a fine example of the genre, and I'm sure it'll be very successful.
