Hoo boy.... they over the topped it.

This looked pretty good at first, but then it descended into full blown action hero territory. Magnum is just another Steve McGarrett. And the Higgins factor looks totally ridiculous. From a network standpoint, this is a perfect show to pair up with Hawaii Five O and MacGyver. It's gonna be a big hit.

I'll probably skip it.

I don't watch many TV programs. Just news and sports and Game of Thrones.

Over the top indeed.Already hate the new Higgins.They turned Him into a female ninja.Way to pay homage to Hillermans wonderful perfomance.

I don't mind them making Higgins a stern younger woman with a little bit of sexual tension. That's fun. But now she's Kill Billin' the shit out of people too? Too much. If you're going to give Magnum a head strong foil, you gotta let her get in over her head like a proper damsel in distress so he can save her. Instead we'll be getting served a constant steaming load of cuckery.

I dunno, it seems like it could be hopeful in my opinion.

I'm going to edge on the optimistic side for the moment. Let's see if the writers can understand their place in something as severe as Robin Masters' universe.
