Four episodes into Hawaii Five-0 and it's about as bland as a typical CSI (and its iterations) episode. "Lanakila" is a hunt for an escaped convict. It's a straight chase without anything interesting thrown in other than explaining the escapee's motivations. He's shot in the end and the rest is history.
There's nothing that distinguishes "Lanakila" from an episode of Chase. McGarrett and Danno have nice banter, but all the other pieces are stuck in a rigid mold.
Score: 8.1/10
