tries to win MJ back, even kidnapping her at one point, before she is rescued by Chris and Gabriel. Episodes Critical reception Critical reviews tended towards the low scale, with most critics acknowledging that North Shore was not meant to be high-brow theater: "North Shore seems the perfect summer show, a chance to gawk at toned flesh and to smirk over double entendres. [...] But most of the time, North Shore plays like a bland hybrid of Baywatch and Hotel. But North Shore could last because the people are attractive, the Hawaiian locales are prettier and the competition offers reruns."—The Orlando Sentinel "There's not a lot of deep thinking at this resort, just enough hanky panky to keep things from getting too slow. The danger of this type of drama is if you have to turn off your brain to watch it, you have to remember to turn it back on when it's over." – The Salt Lake Tribune "North Shore [is] the new undisputed king of the bad and the beautiful...[the show] has a secret weapon: bathing suits. This show is an excuse to see sexy, half-naked people on your television set once a week. Mute the dialogue and you’ll double your pleasure." – The Washington Blade External links 2004 American television series debuts 2005 American television series endings English-language television shows Fox Broadcasting Company original programming American television soap operas American primetime television soap operas Television series by 20th Century Fox Television Television shows set in Hawaii Television shows filmed in Hawaii
