HAWAII --(9:00PM-10:00PM) --(TV-14)

"Pilot"

PILOT- "HAWAIIAN JUSTICE" Hawaii can seduce just about anyone -- cops and criminals alike. Murder, drug-running and organized cartels represent a small sample of the big-city casework that the Hawaiian police force confronts. The diverse group of cops and detectives may work against a breathtaking backdrop of jungles and seascapes, but they can never take a vacation from the tangle of local and international criminals who constantly cross their paths. It's never a "typical" crime scene and these are not TV's "typical" cops - which is exactly what makes "Hawaii" so alluring. Welcome to the other side of paradise as the cops probe a bizarre series of decapitations. Michael Biehn ("The Terminator"), Sharif Atkins (NBC's "ER"), Ivan Sergei (NBC's "Crossing Jordan"), Eric Balfour ("Six Feet Under"), Aya Sumika, Cary Tagawa and Peter Navy Tuiasosopo also star. Jeff Eastin is the creator and executive producer. Daniel Sackheim ("The Lyon's Den") directs.
