The show had good moments, but to me was very slow and poorly written.

I felt it ended weird too.

The overall story is fantastic though.
Hmmmm. The show was poorly written, but the overall story was fantastic.

Exactly.

Plot versus execution.

How the hell can you say a show was "poorly written" yet at the same time say the overall story was "fantastic"?

I would really like to hear you explain this.....

It DID end weird.

Or, I thought there'd be one big episode to wrap it up.

Nope.

Making Hawaii a state seemed like a good idea at the time. At least it was sold as such to the American people. The day to day reality turned out to be one of babysitting indigenous drunks and enlessly funding these worthless spam eating layabouts. A promising concept poorly executed.

Lithgow and Bridges, talking about how "Shes my daughter" in a car for 30 mins, was mind-numbing...

Not good...

No, he had just banged the widow woman. I started to falter when he killed the 2 policemen in a dream sequence... but the wife appearing kind of ended it for me.

All the conversation set up the finale.

I think it was fine, but opinions vary.
