It doesn't take a whole lot of outlining for this one. But I will say that 5-0 is one of the best new shows of the year. (I'm going to do a run down of my, and my family and friends favorites sometime in the next two weeks.) So I'm just going to jump into it.
1. Because Scott Caan is one of the funniest men to ever live. And possibly the most underrated of Ocean's 11.
2. Because they employ every Asian actor ever. Seriously. If you've seen someone Asian in a movie or on TV, chances are they have been or will be on 5-0. It's kind of cool for the diversity of TV.
3. James Marsters is the bad guy. He doesn't have the bleached hair, but it's still awesome.
4. For those so inclined, Grace Park.
5. For those otherwise inclined, Alex O'Loughlin
6. In case you missed Lost too much this year, Daniel Dae Kim runs around the jungle sometimes.
7. Larissa Oleynek seems to be sticking around. Which means that Alex Mack is taking down bad guys again. If you were born between 1984 and 1991, you know how seriously awesome that is.
8. Epic guest stars, including Dane Cook, Diddy, Nick Lachey and that girl he's marrying.
9. Jean Smart plays the governor.
10.
11. So far both Billy Walsh and Mrs. Ari have been murderers. I'm waiting for Sloane, Lloyd (being Asian he'll probably get in on the act) and any other recurring but important Entourage characters to show up.
12. More explosions per hour than a Michael Bay movie, and way better writing.
13. The guy that taught Jason Segel how to kill a pig in Sarah Marshall is a recurring guest star. (Seriously, EVERY ASIAN ACTOR EVER!)
Watch the show.
