It's been many years since I watched the original Hawaii Five-0.
Other than the names and being in Hawaii, I'm not remembering a lot of similarities in the two shows. The characters look a little like the old characters. I don't remember a woman being on the team. I also didn't remember McGarrett being a pilot and having a team with pretty much full reign to do what he wants.
I was a little kid last time Hawaii Five-0 was on so it could just be I don't remember, could be they changed it for the new show.
Regardless I really enjoyed the first episode. Looks promising.
