YES, it was very action packed, a few Ferraris bit the dust, obviously they spent some extra $$$ on the pilot. I liked it, and I recall the original fondly, so I'll keep watching.

It seems to have potential as long as things don't get too weird with Higgins.

I had the distinct impression that that is exactly where things are heading. I would bet good money that Magnum and Higgins will jump into bed on the season finale.

Well, looks like CometTV will be running Babylon 5 in the same time slot, so Catman will not be watching Magnum. Maybe in reruns.

I've been watching the show and it is Okay but I have some issues.
1. Magnum is really short. Tom Selleck is 6'4" and this new guy is listed on IMDB as 5"8 and a half" and I don't think he's even that tall. Rick and TC are both taller than he is. The woman that plays Higgins is listed as 5'4" but in the show she looks equal in height to Magnum. I don't think she's wearing 4 inch heels.
2. Higgins is Deux Ex Machina. She is former MI-6. Key word FORMER! but she can get on any computer and access classified information and even government spy satellites to give MAgnum the info he needs at any time. That's dumb.
3. The writing is very weak compared to the original show.
4. What is up with his facial hair? Is he constantly in the early stages of growing a goatee?

Tom Selleck was quite an imposing figure. The new guy certainly isn't - not that he has to be, of course - in principle the show can work just as well with a smaller actor.
2. Agreed. The thing with the satellite was ridiculous.
3. I really can't compare. I remember that I was a big fan of the original but don't ask me any details about it. But I agree that none of the episodes so far had a plot that impressed me favourably - and some points have downright irritated me.

I watched the pilot. It's shit. Jose Magnum is painfully bad. Zero charisma. Of course they double down on the pc nonsense by having Magnum continually remind everyone he's not white AND having Higgins be an invulnerable woman who shrugs off a bullet after beating the asses of 2 dozen trained assassins. Bitch is like 5 feet tall and 100 pounds.
Pure garbage aimed at people who gave the show a 10 the second they read producers would only cast a latino actor. I'm all for casting as many non whiteys as possible but only if they are right for the role. Jose Magnum would be weak as the comic sidekick. He's definitely not lead actor material. He was believable as the little wimp in Hostel though.

I believe she fought 2 guys at once, not dozens. However, your point is accurate you don't have to exaggerate to make it.
