While some of the details and interactions are still fun, the overall mechanics of the show still stretch things beyond reasonableness in too many places. A show that's fundamentally centered around a genius talent for applying physical sciences knowledge to all sorts of crisis situations, some of those applications -- and the plain old plot-holes sprinkled about between those crises -- are asking a bit much of the whole suspension-of-disbelief thing.
I enjoy some of the show's moments, but, while I want to like a modern reconception of MacGuyver, and I'm okay with truly reconceiving some aspects for a new and different take on the telling, it's difficult to like this when its overall writing and execution seem this half-heartedly careless.
I'll probably watch a couple more eps and keep hoping, but...
