The house that Shiggins and Rick stayed in was the original KING KAMEHAMEHA.

Another good episode , Especially for a Halloween episode . I really liked that they writers gave Kumu some time to shine. They really are getting a hang on added new stuff and paying homage to the old without beating you over the head with it .

I don't get why the cop always has to be so dead pan and one note in his performance. I thought they intimated in one scene he had a sister who ODed but I had to answer the door and missed most of it. The actor ought to take a page from Joe Santos's Lt. Nolan from Classic Magnum's last season. Magnum annoyed him but he wasn't a perpetual
dark cloud and was likable.
I have to give credit to the producers, the pick pocket character makes another appearance. Now they need to find a way to team him up with the dour copper as his straight man, chasing down clues together.

I hate you missed Katsumoto's scenes in this one - it was some of the best acting I've seen by this actor so far.

Katsumoto has turned into one of my favorite cast members, he actually plays the OG Higgins nemesis role to Magnum better than Juliette as she is now a partner. All in all, I enjoy the entire cast (other than the stupid pick for Luther H. Gillis) as they grow into their roles and don't blame them for taking over some iconic TV roles.......

One thing I wish they would improve on or completely take out is the fake ocean backdrop/green screen shot they use when filming estate scenes. In this episode it was TERRIBLE and very obvious it wasn't real, they even show a few stone parts of the house that might as well have been colored in with crayons it was that bad. I think showing it from a far (over a shoulder) for a brief second works and one can sell it as being real, but a close up of it for a longer period of time makes it really stand out as fake which in turn ruins the shot (IMO). I don't understand why they bother putting it in when it's that obvious, shoot from a different angle in the room until the quality gets better or stick to those quick half second shots of the ocean.

Have finally watched this episode.

Meh, so far imo, it was the worst in season 2.
