Hawaii Five-O (Seasons 1–12)

Hawaii Five-O (1968–1980) is the classic CBS police series you can watch online on iFILM — twelve seasons following an elite state task force that answers straight to the governor of Hawaii.

Detective Steve McGarrett, played in a razor-sharp suit by Jack Lord, leads the unit against organized crime, foreign agents and contract killers, all of it shot against real island surf and skyline. The squad drew on an actual police force from the martial-law years of the 1940s. His partner Danny "Danno" Williams (James MacArthur) is on the receiving end of the show's signature sign-off: "Book 'em, Danno!"

Morton Stevens' surf-rock theme outlived the series itself; you've likely heard those opening drums even if you've never watched an episode. As one of the longest-running crime dramas of classic American television, it laid down a template that procedurals still copy today. Stream every season of Hawaii Five-O online on iFILM.
