Magnum P.I.

So, since CBS moved the new Magnum PI to Friday night, after Hawaii 5-0, I decided to give it another look. I had stuck through S1E1&E2 back in September of 2018. I gave it 3 stars. I was very disappointed with all of the characters ant the writers. I have watched the last 4 episodes as reruns, and it is growing on me. Not as much as the remake of Hawaii 5-0 but I'm interested to see where this will go.

I understand the concept of reviving the series. It was insanely popular, and you are already filming Hawaii 5-0, so it's a no brainer. My biggest gripe, the casting is horrible! No charisma (no Tom Selleck look alike), no chemistry, unbelievable situations, just blah! Liked the scenery!

This was a major disappointment the way they butchered this show is almost criminal. I grew up on the original and this is not even close.

I got douche chills when I originally saw the new series trailer. It typified a lot of what I find wrong with Hollywood these days! I watched the pilot and it was as underwhelming and ill conceived as expected. Why not go full PC and make T.C. a female combat pilot and Rick trans gender while they are at it? Anxiously awaiting that re boot of "F Troop" starring David Hasselhoff and Kevin Hart. All the enjoyment of drinking warm, flat soda. Ugh...Meh! Hollywood really can screw up toast!

Ok, so the origin was bloody amazing, but I really enjoyed this new take on it. It was fun to watch, good stories and looking forward to more. Lot if haters of it, fair enough, but think they are being a tad unfair with a lot of the comments. I say give it a go and make up your own mind.
