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.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Magnum PI TV show was renewed for a third season? How would you feel if CBS cancelled this TV series, instead?
Magnum PI is one of my favorite series. Please renew the series.
Please, please, please with sugar on top, bring Jay Hernandez and Magnum, PI back. I liked the Tom Selleck’s Magnum, but I loved Jay Hernandez as Magnum. He seemed to be more humble and grounded. Everything wasn’t a joke with him. The show also showed some of the reasons Magnum was the way he was and also showed him as being more responsible. It looks like you’re keeping whether it will or won’t be returned to get more people talking about your network. This is really not a good strategy. It may just makes us angry.

This is a must watch tv series. The plot is getting better and better. The casts are super talented. The director, producers, writers and the whole production staffs are doing a great job. Please renew it with the same number of years as Hawaii 5-O or more.
