As the reimagined Magnum PI wraps up it’s run, I’ve decided to checkout the show which at the time of publication is free on Amazon FreeVee. The show has a committed social media following that hasn’t given up hope on saving the program. With that kind of passion, I thought I would check it out.

We’re going to do timestamps if you want to watch along.

00:30: And we get a heck of a series entrance with Magnum (Jay Hernandez) jumping into North Korea from space, followed by an AC/DC scored car chase through the jungle. And we meet Nuzo and our new TC and Rick. Then finally, the much heralded Higgins. I already know where this is going because the later season advertisements don’t hide anything.

08:46: Ah, infidelity cases. Interesting. Also the conflict of interest divorce attorney angle has become popular.

09:00: You’ve got to love the theme music

10:45: Bleh. Doberman poop in the house.

11:30: That car…sigh…Just awesome

11:55: Annnddd….the car is destroyed. lol. And Nuzo has been kidnapped.

13:00: Sung Kang or Han from the Fast and Furious campaign

14:40: And that makes sense because Fast and Furious director, Justin Lin, also did this episode.

15:25: And a Fast and Furious director definitely knows how to make these Ferrari’s look good.

17:12: And Nuzo is dead. Solid first episode shocks. I guess I should have known better. Domenick Lombardozzi keeps a pretty busy dance card.

25:00: Nice fighting sequence there. Higgins can squabble.

29:52: And a nice callback to the opening sequence with the dude he rescued out of North Korea.

31:13: Magnum gets jumped. Those bad guys could have offed him and this would have been a short series. I hope we get an explanation later.

32:48: I’ll say this. Space. Land. Air. Underwater. This is a heck of a pilot.

33:35: Singing Spice Girls above water > dangerous diver underwater. Oops never mind. A gold stash.

39:30: Nice shot from the helicopter. The second Ferrari has holes in it though!

40:00: Definitely Fast and Furious vibes. And that Ferrari is *bleeped* two of them Ferris Buellered on the first show.

42:15: Sweet ending and it sets the series off on in a nice direction.
Guys. Check back soon for another episode. I’ll be doing retro stuff until my life gets right.
