A son retour d'Afghanistan, Thomas Magnum, officier décoré de l'unité d'élite des SEAL de la Marine américaine, s'installe à Hawaï. Tout en assurant la sécurité du domaine du richissime Robin Master, Magnum, hébergé sur la propriété dans la maison des invités, officie en tant que détective privé. Pour l'aider à résoudre ses enquêtes, le jeune homme peut compter sur ses frères d'armes, TC et Rick. Quant à Juliet Higgins, la majordome du domaine, accompagnée de ses dobermans Zeus et Apollon, elle se charge de garder un œil sur Magnum en veillant à ce qu'il n'abuse pas de la générosité de Robin Master.

I'm currently watching season 6 of the original Magnum PI and was surprised to see this pop up. I immediately thought about how they could fuck up the themesong that I spent many tries attempting to record completely on my cassette-recorder but upon viewing this I must say they didn't fuck it up. The rest however... The thing that made Magnum PI so great was the fact, despite being a marine, that he was real human being... this Magnum, from the get-go is an action hero jumping from space and blazing his way through the Jungle, driving backward and shooting others... Why is it so important that these remakes need to lose the human aspect that made us cling so much to these characters. The original Magnum wasn't less of a hero for being afraid to get shot or hesitating to jump from one building to the other... On the contrary. Couldn't care less that this Higgens is a woman but... where's connection between these two characters. Higgens and Magnum were at odds at the beginning of the original series but these almost seem to be at each others' throat. And let's not start about destroying the iconic Ferrari not once but twice (I know, it's popular, the A-team movie did it too, apparently it's their way of saying "fuck your past"). I'm not the kinda person to say this shouldn't exist but I do wonder why it needs to be so different from the original (same with MacGyver) that it barely resembles the source material. Maybe I don't like sucky reboots and rather have mediocre sequels, maybe I don't like bulletproof hero's but people with heart... and this comes from a person who still adores the 80s Full disclosure: I haven't watched the complete episode (edit: I have now) and I started skipping scenes to see if it would stay like this (and as far as I could tell it did). I have three more seasons of original Magnum to go. I'll be with the lads, Higgy baby! (though I guess new TC won't be saying this to new Higgens any time soon)
I have found that it is important to examine each reboot on its own merits and not in comparison to its previous incarnation. With this in mind, I have that this incarnation of Magnum P.I., so far, is worthy of my time going forward.
I love the original Magnum PI show and this is obviously not nearly as good but it’s not bad. It’s decent comfort TV. I like the fact that they did not try to outdo Tom Selleck and chose a rather low key, not too studly lead actor. They screwed up on the love hate relationship between Magnum and Higgins though - in this new show the animosity feels forced and fake. Some of the acting is not great and they have annoying little jingles constantly in the background to accentuate what’s happening on screen… is there a name for that? I need to google it. It’s like the musical version of a laugh track… except not only for laughing - for everything. It gets pretty unbearable if you pay attention to it…
morons canned it . screw you CBS U jerks .
When are they going to allow you to remove garbage like this from your watch list
