Analysing Hawaii Five-Oh

At the beginning of Hawaii Five-Oh, there's an equilibrium set up: the main cast are all having a casual breakfast with one another and another is seen with her lover having a good time. Then we enter the confrontation; another main cast member - Chin-Ho Kelly is kidnapped by the brother of a criminal whom he arrested or killed for murdering his wife and is thrown in jail, disguised as a prisoner to be killed by a corrupt cop that Kelly previously arrested. Near the climax the conflict reaches resolution when Kelly is able to escape the prison with the help of his friends outside and is hinted at having a future romance with a nurse who assisted in his escape from prisoner. However, they do not resolve the story of a possible affair with a main character, instead it’s used as a cliffhanger for future stories to hook in permanent viewers. In other words, the characters breakfast is the equilibrium of the story where everything is in balance and no conflict has yet arisen; the disruption of the equilibrium in the two plots of the story is when the main character becomes suspicious of her lover’s behaviour during their romantic date and when Kelly is awoken in the middle of the night by two criminals and drugged which is then recognised by his friends who attempt to reduce him from his predicament as Kelly also realises he has been thrown into jail to die. After this, the reparation begins when Kelly attempts to escape with a prison informant by attempting to contact his friends to escape; finally the resolution for Kelly’s story is when he does escape and has breakfast with his team in a hospital, giving the viewer a sense of satisfaction and finality to the  development and restoration of a 40-minute arc. To surmise, the inticing incident of Kelly being kidnapped is the spark which sets the story going which is then deepened by the progressive complication of being marked by corrupt police officer out for revenge, enter the crisis when said antagonist reveals his identity to the prisoners and he is seemingly betrayed by the prison informant whom he allied with forces him to fight the corrupt officer which Kelly wins that leads him to the resolution of the story when he is rescued by his friends and escapes prison. For a casual or first-time viewer who will have no idea what is happening, they will most likely rely on the body language of the characters, for example Kelly’s guarded defence whilst in prison and facial expressions show that he is in clear distress, in danger and does not belong in prison whilst his ally is much shorter and has longer hair which implies his dubious nature or that he is hiding something. A reliant aspect of storytelling irony in this episode is a police officer being imprisoned which might be a metaphor for Kelly being emotionally imprisoned because of his wife’s death which he is only able to escape after  his killers brother is arrested, therefore granting him peace to move on with his life which makes him the hero of this story; the helper is the informant who somewhat betrays Kelly in the second act of the story though he could also qualify as the false hero due to only looking out for his own benefit; the villain is the incarcerated corrupt cop who desires revenge against Kelly for imprisoning him; the
princess is the nurse who escapes with Kelly who is implied to be his future love interest and the donors are his Hawaii Five-Oh team who provide him with the means to escape his prison.
