It's a family affair.
What people will do for those they love – good and bad – is the theme of Hawaii Five-0 Season 7 Episode 15.
And even better, there was a healthy dose of education amid the entertainment.
I always appreciate a little dose of learning in my TV, something that drives me to Google while I'm watching.
For all its many faults, I've enjoyed NBC's Timeless this season, because I get a healthy dose of history each week.
Now that it's in its seventh season, Hawaii Five-0 has really started to tap into Hawaii's 1,000 years of history, discovering some unique narrative settings as a result.
This episode told the story of the Kalaupapa Leprosy Settlement, in the Kalaupapa National Historic Site on Molokai.
This was neatly handled by having the island's law, Sheriff Alana, explain the settlement's history to McGarrett and Chin on the ride out. That way, the viewer quickly got brought up to speed.
