What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, Magnum PI stars Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks, Zachary Knighton, Stephen Hill, Tim Kang, and Amy Hill. This reboot of the 1980s TV show follows Thomas Magnum (Hernandez), a decorated former Navy SEAL who repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. He lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business. The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins (Weeks), a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent who keeps Magnum in line. When Magnum needs back-up on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors, chopper pilot Theodore “TC” Calvin (Hill) and Orville “Rick” Wright (Knighton), a former Marine door-gunner who now runs a nightclub. Magnum frequently has run-ins with police detective Gordon Katsumoto (Kang) and the two are more alike than either cares to admit. Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta (Hill) is one of Magnum’s biggest fans and is also the unofficial “House Mom” and cultural curator of Robin’s Nest.

We travel to Hawaii every year and both Magnum PI and Hawaii 5 O remind us of the islands. I encourage you not to cancel Magnum PI the acting of all actors in many ways are better than 5 O

Thanks
Love Magnum PI! My husband and I really enjoy this show, one of the best on TV. Please renew for another season!
It grows on you and I look forward to enjoying it.
I absolutely hope Magnum PI comes back for a 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th season. I was a kid when the original was on and this is by far a thousand times better. I like that Higgins is a female, that Magnum is Hawaiian and his friends are awesome. Please bring it back CBS, it’s one of my favorite shows. I never miss it.
The new generation Magnum PI is a good show — one of my favorites. Magnum’s speech/way of talking is easily understood and does not require subtitles, while that of the nice young lady sometimes does. In any case, keep it going for AT LEAST another five years.
Yes I love magnum pi great show should be renewed
Don’t cancel magnum PI, it’s one of the best shows on tv.
Magnum PI is one of our top 5 TV shows and we never miss an episode.
