There is Hope

[doug2go · 7/10 · 3 October 2021]

I agree with the previous review from Brian but gave it a 7 instead of a 9 because the DBD ( Dirt bag Doctor that ruined half of the Magnum season 4 for me was still in the show ) - I can't wait for that terrible romantic loop for Higgins is over and Magnum and Higgins can realize they are meant for each other - that would make season 5 a 10 in my book. As for the 1st episode - it sets up the possibility of a great season with MI 6 and Higgins doing some strange things - although the reason for her exit from Kenya and MI 6 involvement in the vaccine wasn't made real clear - the result was satisfying. As for Magnum's secret romance - I like the gal and I expect she will realize before Magnum that Higgins is who he belongs with - that might not take too long . Having said that - hope she stays with the show . I have my fingers crossed that the producers and show runners don't blind side the possibility of a great season by over thinking - like When Calls the Heart did - a 10 show dropped to a 1 in less than 15 minutes of the season final last year - not just my opinion - the backlash was brutal.

Peaceful episode without Higgins

This episode was bliss on the ears as Higgins didn't feature very much. I didn't have to put up with her constant whining, arguing and I'm better than you and more superior. It gets tiresome when every conversation has her always arguing the point and bickering.

This is how you do a season premiere

I'm normally hard on remakes, but CBS has actually done a very good job with Magnum. The chemistry between Jay & Perdita just keeps getting better. I also love the addition of the character Lia.

I've been watching since. Episode 1 of season 1. I haven't been disappointed yet. This season has the opportunity to be the best one yet. I can see it going a few different ways. Just like with Hawaii 5-0 CBS has done a good job with Magnum. LOVED episode 1!!

My 2 cents worth

Why is Magnum so cheap? TC is a hardworking helicopter pilot and Magnum always wants him to do work for him for free. He never pays. He always promises to pay and he never does? Couldn't he at least cover for fuel for the helicopter? He must be getting paid by his client. No wonder Higgins isn't interested in him. He drives a fancy car that he doesn't pay for. Lives in a wonderful big home that he doesn't pay rent for. Gets drinks from his friend's bar that I'm sure he doesn't pay for. And helicopter errands that he does not contribute towards. He's too cheap! Lol. I couldn't date a man like that.

In ep 1 which aired on Oct 1, why didn't Magnum just hide until the other bad guy come back in the room and then shoot him, rather than stop to untie the girl and then run until the man came back in and they had a big shootdown. He could have hidden behind the door and shoot the man as he came in, THEN untie the girl. I guess the writer wanted the shoot out and excitement.

Unlike one of the reviewers here, I don't have a problem with Magnum getting a girlfriend and Higgins dating the doctor. At first I didn't like him but now I'm over it. Let them do what they want. I don't care about the romance aspect either way.

Magnum B.O.

The pointless and boring series continues with Magnum always breaking every law because he is stupid and incompetent. Katsumoto has to cover for him in every episode, and Higgins has to explain everything to Magnum as if he never got past grade school.

The only thing that this Magnum remake gets right is that Magnum is always taking advantage of his friends and not paying his way. That is the only thing I never liked about the original Magnum, and even less about the new dummy version of Magnum.
