Comparisons with the adventures of Mitch Bucanhan and co. were inevitable, but "Rescue: Hi Surf" promises a more visceral experience than the 90s classic.
For one, we’ve swapped the glamorous shores of L.A. for the notoriously tough and dangerous waters of North Shore O’ahu, aka the Seven Mile Miracle. Not for the faint hearted, the stretch of coastline is one of the most famous in the world, attracting only the most seasoned surfers to its enormous waves. But even the best on the board misjudge the water sometimes, and that’s where this elite team of lifeguards come in.
In true emergency procedural style, expect things to get dangerous, dramatic and perhaps a little steamy as we follow the trials and tribulations of the impossibly good-looking, minimally clothed, cast, including Robbie Magasiva as Matt, Adam Demos as Will, Keko Kekumano as Laka and Arielle Kebbel as Emily.
The series is already off to a flying start, with 4.7 million viewers tuning in to the pilot episode, making it the highest rated Fall drama debut in six years. Time will tell if the cast of "Rescue: Hi-Surf" will enjoy a tenure as long as Hasslehoff, Anderson, etc did, but for now things look promising.
