There
were three way on genre criticsm, first of all genre criticsm means on how we
evaluating the content of the movie or the drama series. The genre criticsm
devided into three parts which is Aesthetic approaches, Ritual approaches and
ideological approaches

on aesthetical approaches, both of the series is about a special police unit
consisting of not more than four men at a time, during the 1968 series those

on Ritual approaches, Hawaii five-O is The story tells of an elite squad in
Hawaii that uncovered all cases of crime, arguably the whole case where they
could catch the culprit and be brought to justice. while the S.W.A.T reports a
group of elite forces who attack the criminals very professionally as their

drama, their physical appearance is more sophisticated and stylish by the
passage of time, this is because their surroundings are in los angeles, a
thriving city. so it is not surprising that their clothes are more stylish and
equipped with modern technology such as body armor and so on.
