Magnum P.I.: I Saw the Sun Rise (2018)
Season 1, Episode 1
2/10
It's about the vibe
27 September 2018
Most studios/procucers/writers do not seem to get it. It's not about the action what made Magnum what it was. It's about the vibe. Being on Hawaii, being the underdog, processing inner thoughts and moments. Now it's bang bang meets fast cuts meets Soap Opera meets unfitting music. Since i was so unfortunate to see the first episode of lethal weapon season 3, i keep wondering if you pull your ideas from some black hat for generic ideas and write the scenes down in the order you pull it out of there.

Like the Lethal Weapon remake, it about that easygoing, with it comes a certain pace of storytelling. Instead you stomped right over it.

2 stars for proper execution, none for the rest.

I get it, it's not easy to stick out of the overboarding crowd of TV shows nowadays. But that takes some guts, creativity and a bit more sensibilty on how to tell a story.

Basically that's not it.
