I didn't like the original 5-0, and I don't like the new one any better. Jack Lord, the original series star(?) (as McGarrett) was a rabid and outspoken anti-gunner, and many of the episodes had an anti-gun slant to them. I don't know if the new episodes do or not (I viewed only one, and it did not), but the old one left a very bad taste in my mouth for that reason.
