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 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
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.
September 24, 2018
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.
September 21, 2018
Hernandez is good in what's otherwise a pallid, uninspired facsimile of the original.
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 24, 2018
There's no evidence, however, of the old Magnum twinkle.
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 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?
