Detective Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) heads up Hawaii Five-O, a special division of the state police tasked with bringing down organized crime on the islands. The Five-O team works with local police from time to time on individual cases, and McGarrett's nemesis is crime kingpin Wo Fat. The show, which ran for 12 seasons during its original run, is famous for its catchphrase "Book 'em, Danno," said by McGarrett at the end of most episodes. The show's theme song, composed by Morton Stevens, became popular during the show's original run.

doodle b @RT71822598 03/27/2025 Absolutely the worst! Most of the original character have left leaving Steve, Kimo, Lauri and Truck to solve the ridiculous cases. Streamed an episode yesterday on Pluto (S12 E05) which was so bad that it ran with zero ads! See more Read all reviews
