Zeus, Apollo... ATTACK!

Is it too early to say I hate it? Because I hate it.

[mdmost 43059]

I hate that they crashed multiple vintage Ferraris.

His mustache sucks. 

[Lone Star Horn 2018]

hmm, on CBS, set in Hawaii. how long before they do series cross-overs with Hawaii Five-0?

[atomheartbevo 89846]

1. He's no Tom Selleck, not even close.

2. CBS forgot that a huge part of what made Magnum P.I. so popular, was that it was the first truly mainstream positive portrayal of Vietnam Vets.  Hell, it launched just a year after Apocalypse Now hit theaters, and two years after The Deer Hunter.  That was a Big Damn Deal to a lot of my dad's friends.

[Eskimohorn 5644]

Looks like a great cartoon.

[Parliament 14344]

Needs to be updated.

And +1 on the post-Vietnam part.

Loved the original. Selleck and Higgy were great. To the regiment!!

[miguelito 11321]

I watched the first few seconds of that trailer, without the sound on, and I couldn't tell which guy was supposed to be Magnum.  TC was the only guy I knew, but only because he was flying the chopper, not because he's black.

That moment when you know this isn't long for TV.

[Macanudo 13018]

Terrible.  Just terrible.

This looks like they used the archer season as source material instead of the original show. 

Boo this show. 

Agree on the Vietnam thing. Doubt this can resonate with the ME vets in the same way. 

[BHMCruiser 1819]

This is an outrage

 

Having Higgins as a female love interest is total bullshit

It's a very different environment here in 2018 versus 1980.  Shit, two of the most popular shows over the past 20 years have portrayed the military in a positive light (JAG and NCIS), we've had numerous movies made about both wars, not to mention numerous documentaries.  It's not a big deal to see the military portrayed in a positive light and/or to show combat vets that aren't psychopathic killers, unlike the late '70s which saw two huge fucking movies that weren't too kind to Vietnam vets.

I'd like to see a few more season's of Fox's The Finder long before I watch a rebooted Magnum P.I.  Unfortunately, Michael Clarke Duncan is dead, and it wouldn't be the same show.

Also, Tom Selleck as Magnum, PI was not a douche, even though he drive a bright red car. He was self-deprecating, a little lazy. He wasn’t perfect, kind of a beach bum. But he cared about people. He barely was an action star and actually tried to think things through. This is the bizarro Magnum, PI. Looks like an opposite esthetic.

The 17 years and counting war vets may get financially abandoned by the government they served but they get their asses kissed constantly by the media and public. Quite different than the NAM guys.

They obviously don’t give a shit about the originals, just in name and a few shiny cars.  No drawn out old war stories.  The war buddies served in different theaters?

ahhh  CBS the network that does shows set in Hawaii without any Hawaiians...  also who gives a shit?  Hawaii Five-O is horribad, and this looks terrible too

[HiggyBaby 2548]

Hmmmm... I’ll entertain it but don’t expect much.

The original was the right show at the right time with great casting to boot.

[David Dennison 18951]

CBS's elderly audience will enthusiastically freebase yet another crime procedural, reboot or not.

[Radical Larry 28664]

The original series was great. This looks like shit. 

[HiggyBaby 2548]

Wait is this a new series or just a TV movie?
Ps Hawaii 5-0 had a lot of potential early on but devolved into a shitty mess.

Quintessential CBS.
