**Score: 8/10 — A Stylish, Charismatic, and Perfectly Executed Modern Revival** The 2018 reboot of *Magnum P.I.* faced a daunting task: modernising one of television’s most iconic characters—and his iconic car—without losing their essence. Against the odds, it succeeds spectacularly. This is not a nostalgia-bait rehash, but a sleek, sun-drenched action-drama that understands its assignment, delivering a consistently entertaining mix of case-of-the-week mysteries, charismatic banter, and just enough emotional heft to keep it grounded. It earns a strong **8/10** for its execution, chemistry, and sheer watchability. **What Works Brilliantly:** * **Jay Hernandez as Thomas Magnum:** Hernandez nails the balance. He captures the original’s laid-back charm, magnetic smile, and military-grade competence, while adding a layer of modern vulnerability and a more pronounced emotional core tied to his past as a Navy SEAL. He’s instantly likeable and carries the show with effortless cool. * **The Core Chemistry:** The show’s engine is the dynamic between Magnum, Higgins (Perdita Weeks), and the indispensable TC and Rick (Stephen Hill and Zachary Knighton). Weeks’s Juliet Higgins is a masterful up
Read the whole review on TMDBI hate this, it was absolutely horrible, an insult to the original where the characters make no sense, the changes are absolutely pointless, and the stories are inane and boring. But, there is action and it makes a political statement, and I think that was the point. The statement was the point for the changes, it was the point for many of the plots, and so much so that the stories all seemed to take a back seat to it. Ultimately it is nonsense, but it makes you piss the original
Read the whole review on TMDBCBS or NBC needs to uncancel this show. I'm in love with this show because everyone on the show made it fun to watch, but mostly Jay Hernandez. Jay Hernandez is so so SO fucking hot and sexy and i need this show back. CBS and NBC had no absolute right to cancel this show after 5 seasons!! I'm honestly truly angry and disheartening about this!! PLEASE BRING MAGNUM P.I. back!! I need more action and stories to tell and watch but never end it!! 😭💔🙏🏻
