Em follows Sonny around so she can watch and listen to everything he does for her approval. I don’t like her character. I hope Sonny isn’t done, he adds some heart to the show. I like the different types of situations people need help with and enjoy seeing the new lifeguards learning their jobs.

I hope they're not setting Sonny up to be a suicide or near-suicide as a PSA for talk therapy. (Disclaimer: I have a therapist)

Yes. This👆and the closeups of being in the water are why I'm still watching.

I watch because there's nothing else on cable television on Monday nights... LOL.  I think it's getting a little better.  The acting seems to be better?  I don't know, maybe between this and Doctor Odyssey, I just have super low standards now. 🤣

I don't think they will get rid of the character because the actor is listed first in the credits.  But I don't like Sonny, I think he does need to get some help and I am annoyed that they dragged out this storyline for 7 episodes when it was obvious during the first one that he needed help.  I think he should be some kind of consultant or administrative lead but I don't think he should be the captain in charge of the district.

Apart from Sonny, I like the characters.  I started off disliking Emerson but I am growing to like him.  His uncomfortable interactions with Hina's aunt were hilarious.

I like Em and I like Will.  I know the show seems to be putting them back together and I wouldn't mind, I think they are good together.  The fiance isn't right for him, her family makes everything about money and that's not his lifestyle.

I liked how Laka, Kainalu and Hina had identifying nicknames for the beachgoers.  "Love Handles", etc.  Probably not too far from how real lifeguards do it.

My favorite thing about this show is all of the scenery shots.  I feel like this show does an amazing job of showcasing Hawaii, even the random scenery shots seem so much better done than the Hawaii scenery shots on "Hawaii 5-0" were.

The camera work of the bride underwater with her long dress ethereally floating in the water was amazing.

Same and agree.
