think of this pilot a hawaii five o lite . it set in hawaii and it an action or adventure crime drama and lot of scene feature boat and palm tree and polyester fabric and garish shirt . it even star the character actor zulu in a supporting role . oh and there be some minor difference roy thinnes be suppose to be some front line undercover agent and and the support cast be much small ( and less interesting ) and but basically the atmosphere be still the same . problem be and hawaii five o ( another qm product ) already exist at the time and have run for year . it fill the market demand for hawaii base crime drama quite adequately . code name represent diamond head may have be intend a the hier to h50 a the old series eventually dwindle away . but it come across a a superfluous and 2nd rate copy . it doesn not suck and but it completely derivative and doesn not do anything as well a the original . there be some decent acting talent involve here . thinnes be an old pro and and he give the role his best shot and and he isn not bad . but thinnes be only as good a his material and his director . ian mcshane be in here a an evil spy master name tree and and mcshane tends to be the most interesting actor in any scene he appear in . but he phone his part in here . france ngyuen be reasonably exotic look and but her astounding skinniness and opaque feature and thick accent and wooden delivery aren not the stuff of which dream be make . rely on her to supply the romantic interest for thinnes be probably the series big mistake . at least for for a series aim at white audience bring up with marsha brady and peggy lee a our love goddess . give her another 30 lb and a year with a dialog or voice coach and and she might cut it . zulu be and well and his usual self enjoyable in bit part and but he isn not a person who can carry a feature by himself . in addition and the plot and dialog be strictly by the number and with nothing to distinguish them from any other quinn martin production . and by this point and the american tv audience have see a whoooole lot of qm production . i think cn represent dh be one too many and and it sink without a trace . it wasn not the really the actor fault and and i hope they walk away from this with a decent paycheck and one more entry on their c. v. s. mst3000 revive this for their treatment in their sixth season and and they have a lot of good natured fun with it . worth seek out in that version if you enjoy the mst approach to movie japery and lampoon and but i can not imagine anyone care about this pilot for any other reason .
