Critical response
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."[64] 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."[65] 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."[66]
Ratings
The season premiered with 14.2 million viewers and a 3.9/11 ratings share among adults 18–49.[7] Although the show was a highly rated new show, ratings were down from the premiere of CSI: Miami season eight, which occupied the same time slot the previous year.[67] Ratings hit an all-time high with its fifteenth episode, "Kai eʻe", which was watched by 19.34 million viewers and garnered a 5.6 ratings share with adults 18–49.[68] A ratings low came with the penultimate episode, "Ua Hiki Mai Kapalena Pau", which earned 9.45 million viewers.[30] The finale jumped by almost a million viewers and was seen by 10.41 million people.[31] The season included the second largest gains in Digital video recorder (DVR) viewership from the 2010–11 season, behind Modern Family. It gained an average of 3.3 million more from live viewing.[69] For the first season, Hawaii Five-0 was the 22nd most seen show in total viewership, averaging 11.96 million viewers.[70] It was also the 33rd most seen show in the 18–49 demographic, with a 3.3 rating.[71]
