What do you think of the updated Thomas Magnum during the first season of the Magnum PI TV show on CBS? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Magnum PI is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we’d like to offer you the chance to rate all of the season one episodes of Magnum PI below.
A CBS detective drama, Magnum PI is an updated reboot of the 1980s Tom Selleck vehicle. The new action-adventure series stars Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks, Zachary Knighton, Stephen Hill, Tim Kang, and Amy Hill. It centers on former Navy SEAL Thomas Magnum (Hernandez), who is back from Afghanistan and working as a private investigator. Magnum lives in a guest cottage on the Robin’s Nest estate in Oahu, where he also serves as a security consultant. With his team at the ready, a vintage Ferrari at his disposal, and his trademark aviator sunglasses, Magnum is always ready to crack the next case.

So Sad, I’ve yet to meet anyone who likes this mess
If you only watched the first or second Magnum show, then you are missing what you could have seen had you given it a chance. I am a HUGE fan of the Original Magnum. Tom Selleck brought energy, intelligence, great timing and a relaxed humor to the original Magnum that was irreplaceable. Higgins as a man who tolerated Magnum’s antics was priceless. But, I kept watching because the fellow they chose to play the new Magnum has none of the attributes of the original. He is too serious, too dark, smart, but something missing. The female Higgins, actually is the… Read more »
SEASON 2 PLEASE!
Really enjoy the new Magnum.
I’m loving the reboot of Magnum PI. The show is fun and action packed. The stunts/special effects are great. Please renew for season 2.
I am being very open minded about this reboot, but honestly at this stage of the season I find that the Magnum 2.0 character has no depth unlike the original. I hope they are able to evolve the character further as the season progresses. Another observation is that the cast chemistry is not there like the original, the interaction just don’t “flow” it seems they are trying too hard even with the Ferrari just appears to cliche these days. Still time to evolve and become memorable instead of another vanilla set in Hawaii series.
In episode 5, Elizabeth Röhm guested as the wife of a murder victim. Noticing that Magnum and Hawaii 5-0 have blended characters (the M.E. and the shrimp truck owner), hell, even the Italian restaurant, one wonders if Ms. Röhm’s, Dr. Madison Gray character’s cover has been blown & arrested by Magnum? Or is Elizabeth Röhm just an actress playing a part. One wonders of a breakout and a 5-0/Magnum crossover. It can happen! ??
I don’t care for the new Magnum PI. It doesn’t have the same feel as the old one. Now, I understand that the original is gone, never to return in first runs. But if you are going to bring a show back, don’t deviate so far from the original. If you are going to do that, then don’t call it Magnum PI. Just my opinion.
I like the old but this one is pretty good and seems to be getting better. Higgins is hot.
Corey I agree… I hope it makes it another season… I hope there are not too many Hawaii shows on though!
Don’t like Higgins watched original series can’t watch this new one
I like this show..yes I love the original as well! Please have a season 2
I like this show. It gets better every week. Season 2 please.
I liked the old one and I like this one. Bring it back for another season. It’s better than a lot of other shows that keep coming back. Great location for a investigative series. I’m tired of investigative shows in New York or in cold and dark locations. Plus Magnum has humor while those other shows are too morbid and have no comedy.
The show is horrible. I hope they cancel it today!!!
Is only ok
I can’t believe you think this would fly. Why not just do another show and call it something like “unreal no class. No talent no script
Fire producers,writers,cast. Start over. It was really really bad you seem to think we will watch anything
I just don’t look forward to see any of the characters or what happens to them. This just does not work. Poor casting and story line. Best part, as always, scenes of Hawaii. I tape the show and delete, just does not hold my interest. Cancel
The show is ok but not great but people do not have to leave in the past Tom seleck was years ago
