    Like the shallow exploits of Crockett and Tubbs, Hawaii emphasizes style and flash over substance, powered by the kind of intelligence you'd expect from a coconut.

    Hawaii is not a great cop show and does not break any ground in the well-trod field of buddy shows. But it has well-choreographed action and an amusingly campy feel.

    It's relatively entertaining, but the content is more than a bit rough for its 7 p.m. time slot.

    Hawaii's pacing, dashes of humor and casting make this one worthy of an "aloha" - but that's a tentative hello.
