OK let's first address the elephant in the room,the main hurdle and the biggest flaw any old Magnum fans will have to get over,having a Latino playing Magnum PI
I think if the plot had introduced Jay Hernandez as Selleck's half brother and had worked Selleck into the first episode to help with the transition,it would've made the whole thing more plausible.As it is having a Latino as a straight swap is going to take time to grow into, i mean his nickname is White Knight,really ?Having said that Jay Hernandez is a very good lead and cannot fault him in anyway.
I actually like the Higgins change as a younger woman and retired spy.The 1st episode was fast paced, entertaining and little darker than the original Magnum,overall i've seen way worse in my time.
So for all us over 40's, try and suck it up,accept the show for what it is because if it continues like the first episode it's a decent 40 mins of entertainment
