Critical reception

The season was met with generally positive reviews from critics. R. L. Shaffer of IGN rated the season eight out of ten, signifying a "great" season. Shaffer stated that although it was not "particularly refreshing," the season was "damn good, with great cinematography, solid performances and slick, stylized action and drama."[83] Dave Trumbore of Collider stated "The new Five-O plays like an action-packed combination of The A-Team's antics with the realism of The Shield. Though season one doesn't choose to go nearly as dark as many episodes of The Shield did, Alex O’Loughlin brings his physical presence and stunt training from that series into Five-O." Trumbore was also receptive towards the action sequences, which he felt was "one main sell of the show."[84] Stuart Galbraith of DVD Talk had "many criticisms" with the season, but liked some aspects of the show because "clearly there's an attempt to draw from the best elements of the original series."[85]

Awards and nominations

The first season was nominated for seven awards, two of which were won. The season was voted "Favourite New TV Drama" at the 37th People's Choice Awards.[86] Keith Power and Brian Tyler also won the series a Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) award.[87] Scott Cann was nominated for a 68th Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film;[88] Glee actor Chris Colfer became the winner of the award.[89] Series stunt coordinator Jeff David Cadiente was nominated for a 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Stunt Coordination in the episode "Ua Hiki Mai Kapalena Pau", but lost to cable crime drama Southland.[90] The first season was also nominated for three 2011 Teen Choice Awards; the season for Choice TV Show: Action, Daniel Dae Kim for Choice TV Actor: Action, and Grace Park for Choice TV Actress: Action.[91] They lost to NCIS: Los Angeles, Nikita actor Shane West, and NCIS: Los Angeles actress Linda Hunt, respectively.[92]
