(no subject)

I want to like Hawaii 5-0. I really do. I tend to like cop shows, and this one's pretty good, in particular about passing the race-Bechdel. And I really like Chin Ho and Kona. But there is only so long I can watch the lead cheerfully torturing people before it gets impossible to keep going. I don't care if he doesn't intend to do any actual harm to the suspects. Psychological torture (such as dunking a guy in a cage surrounded by sharks, when the guy doesn't know that the sharks are harmless and the cage is designed to make sure the sharks can't get anywhere near the tourists) is still torture. I can't watch.
