Magnum P.I. - Season 1
Using his extraordinary involvement in the Navy armed force, Thomas Magnum returns home from Afghanistan and searches for functioning as a private detective. He has figured out how to land a position as a security specialist on Robin's Nest. His life is by all accounts fine till he meets the steward there, the lovely Juliet Higgins, with whom he enters a progression of energizing perilous undertakings.

Bonus points to CBS for reimagining Higgins as a former British Intelligence officer, as a woman, and for being unafraid to destroy the odd luxury sports car here and there.

The plot is serviceable, which is all it needs to be, but there are car chases and helicopter stunts and banter all the while.
September 24, 2018
The Magnum P.I. reboot feels unnecessary at best and absurd at worst, and the level of ridiculousness never reaches guilty-pleasure status.
September 21, 2018
[Lenkov] knows how to deliver a slick, easy-to-watch take on an action-adventure classic, with just enough modern updates for a traditional audience.
September 21, 2018
You won't be left with the old Magnum P.I., but something unnatural; an empty, unrecognizable hybrid lurching through the jungle.
September 21, 2018
The new Magnum, by contrast, has plenty of bare knuckles and bullets, but no real heft or even direction.
September 24, 2018
The new Magnum P.I. is perfectly fine, but in an era when so much television is first-rate, is "perfectly fine" enough to keep a show on the air?
September 24, 2018
There's no evidence, however, of the old Magnum twinkle.
September 21, 2018
Hernandez is good in what's otherwise a pallid, uninspired facsimile of the original.
September 24, 2018
Sure, there are cosmetic changes (Higgins is a woman now), but once you get past the name, this could be any detective show, one likely to rise or fall on Hernandez's appeal and Magnum's camaraderie with his various pals.
