How Rescue: HI-Surf Mines The Most Out Of Its Premise
Rescue: HI-Surfseason 1 will have a total of 19 episodes, which has given the writers plenty of opportunities to mine the most out of its unique premise. Many episodes of the series have tackled very different problems, fromtsunami warningsto missing paragliders. With the latest episode ratcheting things up a notch to pit its protagonists against unexploded ordinance, the writers behindRescue: HI-Surfare clearly keeping an eye out for inventive situations that could only happen on their show.
FOX’sBaywatchreplacementis a fictional show, but the varied situations its characters have to overcome are in most cases based on reality. In regard to the clip above, Hawaii is home to unexploded ordinance left by the US military, both on land and in the waters surrounding its islands. For example, thisProPublicapiece from 2022 details how leftover weapons have kept some Native Hawaiians from promised housing. Will encountering an underwater minefield inRescue: HI-Surf, then, at least touches on a real and present issue in the area.
Rescue: HI-Surfalso aims to take advantage of its ensemble cast by pairing work drama with personal drama. The complicated relationship betweenWill and Emis a centerpiece of the series, helping to add more layers to the already high-stakes events of the show. With a few more episodes left until the season 1 finale,Rescue: HI-Surfwill certainly have even more to throw at its characters both personally and professionally.
