If you feel that this is a series you might revel , well commence watching now , because I do n’t see it last longer than two season , at most .

Mini Review : At times , the documentary flair ofDetroit 1 - 8 - 7adds refreshing and intriguing factor that prevent this serial from becoming another flow - of - the - manufacturing plant law procedural . unluckily , that same docudrama style also hurtsDetroit 1 - 8 - 7when awkward looks into the tv camera and the legion , annoying rubric cards straight off take the viewer out of the story .

Mini Review : Hawaii Five-0has more to examine than any other new television receiver serial . gratefully , Kurtzman and Orci ’s remake of this television classic supersedes all expectations .
