Cat Chambers' less-than-perfect past as a thief gives her an instinctive gift for understanding crime and criminals, which comes in handy in her new role as fixer for the governor of a Pacific Island paradise. As she becomes enmeshed in fast-paced, high octane adventures and island intrigue, Cat's reappearance also makes waves for old friends, enemies and lovers -- including an FBI agent ex-husband, her imprisoned crime boss and a police detective lover who is in over his head -- and the lines between work and play become increasingly blurry.

The pilot's main crime story is unremarkable until it becomes ridiculous. Go to Full Review Daniel D'Addario Variety Jun 18, 2019
The only thing deep about Reef Break is its silliness. Yet splashing in the shallows can, for those in the right temperament and in need of brain-off summer fare, have its pleasures too. Go to Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media Jul 17, 2019
2/5
Generic crime show combines crime and summery surf vibes. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider Jun 20, 2019
A mindlessly breezy crime drama that would have been a decent fit on USA back in its "blue sky" days. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Jun 20, 2019
The banter isn't funny or all that interesting, the chases are boring, and the mysteries that Cat is trying to solve are pretty obvious... Go to Full Review Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald Jun 20, 2019

ABC's "Reef Break" is everything that CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" should be - breezy, bright, a wee bit sassy, a whole lot silly, the ideal summer show to catch as a nightcap before bed. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 23, 2025 13 successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Featuring cast, crew, and extras on American Broadcasting Company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Jan 11, 2020 Different type of crime drama with island scenes and a cast that sucks you in. Give it a chance, its good! Its a fun, exciting female lead and not the usual old man cop dective/ crime scene show See more Sep 13, 2019 Love it! Love poppy! See more Sep 6, 2019 Yeah, it feels like the producers seen Hawaii Five-O and said they could do it better. The show has a weak storyline that's uninteresting and difficult to follow. The acting is bad/uninteresting. The pilot's use technical resources like radios and cellphones is laughable. See more Sep 2, 2019 Ok but wraps up each episode too easily. Montgomery's character is too overconfident and not vulnerable. Makes bad guys and pollook incompetent. See more Aug 30, 2019 I love it, the show was kinda cheesy the first couple of episodes, but got better with every episode. See more Read all reviews
