TV show description:
A reimagining of the classic television series from the 1980s, this action-adventure drama centers around a twenty-something problem-solving adventurer.
Angus “Mac” MacGyver (Lucas Till) creates a clandestine organization within the United States government where he uses his extraordinary talent for unconventional problem solving and vast scientific knowledge to save lives.
MacGyver’s team of experts join him on high-risk missions around the globe. They include maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton (George Eads); Patricia Thornton (Sandrine Holt), an ex-field agent turned director of operations; and Riley Davis (Tristin Mays), an unpredictable computer hacker with a chip on her shoulder. At home, MacGyver is entertained by his ambitious roommate, Wilt Bozer (Justin Hires).
Under the aegis of the Department of External Services, MacGyver takes on the responsibility of saving the world, armed to the teeth with resourcefulness and little more than bubble gum and a paper clip.
Episode #94 — Abduction + Memory + Time + Fireworks + Dispersal
When Mac and Riley go missing and wake up 24 hours later in a corn field with no memory of how they got there, they must unravel the mystery to find who took them, and how to get rid of the nanotrackers in their bodies, no matter the cost.
First aired: April 30, 2021.
What do you think? Do you like the MacGyver TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or been renewed for a sixth season?
I really like this show. It took me awhile to like the team but now I think they are all on board Judi ps Bowzer as a part of the team has been Great.
I’m a fan of MacGyver back in my early ages. The Swiss knife it made me a signature today as an images. I love the show it brings me back. I may say any actor can do such a show because it’s their job. But the writer it’s a talent. MacGyver is my mentor in my life, it creates me because ideas I can do technical jobs with one Swiss knife. Thank you for bringing it back again. More power to it.
I really like MacGyver. I nevr watched the original. But i really like this one. I think it could go really far. I love the acting an i really like Jack an Mac an Bozer. Really hope there is a second season.
Keep it on, its better then a lot of the other crap that’s on now
Keep it I like it because of the action and things he has to do to get out of the problems he is in.
Plus I like the fact he has a team to help him all those haters need to stop hating new things not all reboots have to follow the old show.
It new and fun to watch
CANCEL IT! I have so many criticisms of the show I don’t know where to start. Besides all the obvious things like acting and special FX, it is just so much off the original, it is a disgrace to Richard Dean Anderson and the original cast. I only watched one episode. First where did they get this Lucas Till? He must be related to one of the big shots because he does absolutely nothing for the role. Second MacGyver doesn’t need a team. He works alone with occasional help. Jack Dalton was a real character, always getting Mac in hot… Read more »
Cancel. It is so far off the original, it is a stretch to call it MacGyver.
MacGyver should be renewed it was a great show keeps close to the original only with a little more pizazz
It is way different than the original. Not 1% as good.
I like the New MacGyver! I especially like the chemistry between Mac & Jack, very entertaining. I do notice that when Mac gets in fights n take punches he never has a bruise, cut or even split lip. Except when he had that prison fight. Watch for little details. Otherwise very creative show.
Don’t like MacGyver………Poor acting and predictable. My family and friends will not be watching. Still waiting for The Amazing Race 29 to air!!! CBS why are you waiting so long to air TAR?????
I have been so disappointed in this remake of the original MacGyver show from the 80s. The writing is terrible and other than Eads, the acting is really bad. It reads like a poor man’s “Burn Notice”. The explosions are too expected. And for goodness sakes could someone brush that computer girl’s hair. And this was the one show of this season that our entire family was waiting for. It is so bad we no longer have it on a series recording. And I am sure that they might have found someone a little more “manly” to play MacGyver. I… Read more »
I think the new MacGyver is fun. Please keep it on the schedule.
very very poor acting especially the actor playing macgyver
I thought the show was very corny and poorly filmed I give it a 2 out of 10 rating. Sorry I won’t be tuning in 🙁
“Very corny and poorly filmed” is a serious understatement. The effects are terrible, explosions, bullet impacts, they’re all CG done with what I can only assume is free software on a 7 year old laptop. The “writing” is attrocious. I don’t think anyone could have failed to get the she’s alive and a bad guy “twist” immediately. Lastly there’s the casting. Seriously. Richard Dean Anderson at least had a little charisma, this guy has all the charm of a brick wall. Sadly I think a major consideration for the casting was age (or apparant age) so that the lazy writers… Read more »
i like Jack! he is cool! the girls are o k. But what would pull it all together would be the real macgyver as the Father of this new guy who needs some acting lessons. i was really disappointed! I adore the original macgyver. and I just saw him on an interview. He is still Looooooking Gooooood! would make what i see as a loosing show into a winner!
