The best thing about the show was the painting....
planktonrules27 October 2011
My summary is not meant as a dig against this decent episode of "Hawaii Five-O". It's just that there is a painting in the show that is highly reminiscent of the ones you'd see on "Night Gallery" and it really was pretty cool.

The show begins with the murder of some rich industrialist from back East. Soon after the murder is on the TV news, a psychiatrist calls to tell the police that he might know who did it. Danny is on his way to meet the Doctor when the man is killed--killed presumably by the same man who killed the industrialist. And, after killing the Doctor, the killer ransacks the office and steals his file. A short time later, another doctor is diabolically killed with an insecticide. This murderer is amazingly determined, smart and, of course, dangerous. What the guy's plans are next you'll need to see for yourself.

"A Study in Rage" stars Richard Hatch (of "Battlestar Gallactica" fame--not the nude idiot from "Survivor") and Gretchen Corbett (a frequent guest on "The Rockford Files"). While not a great episode since the murders actually seem pretty ordinary and easy to solve for this show, it's solid and interesting. Plus, as I said above, I loved that freaky painting...and would sure like to know what they did with it. Worth seeing--especially so you can see Hatch covered in paint to make him look Hawaiian.

The occasional psycho
VetteRanger27 April 2023
Every once in a while Hawaii 5-0 moved away from scams and mob bosses to feature a psycho. One notable show had a young man murdering people who looked like villains in a comic strip.

In this one, Richard Hatch, who played a creepy villain in an earlier season, is hung up on a businessman's daughter. He winds up killing the businessman and then other people who might be able to lead to the police to him. The odd thing about the plot is that his obsession with the girl seems crazy, and maybe the murder of her father (unseen). But the next two murders are definitely thought out, with the last one carefully calculated.

Hatch does a good job as always, and as a viewer we felt the tension of 5-0's investigation. Good show.
