This show has some major issues.
Sigh.
My god, it was even worse than "Intelligence", "Scorpion" and "Blindspot" combined.
I really had no expectations for this show, so it was okay.
I think that with time I can actually like the characters, however the writing needs to improve a LOT.
But the shaky camera when they are running is so awful! I really hope it was a one time thing. And all the cool stuffs he does with everyday things really should be fun and new, and in this episode it was pretty much what we've saw in every spy show/movie.
This is so bad I couldn't finish the episode. When the girl hammered the notebook to "extract" the HDD, that's when I said enough.
Watching the pilot again on Ion now. I see that the show was actually better than what it became. Sure it was too much of a buddy show next to the original Macgyver where he mostly did everything by himself.
It was better as a buddy show than when it became Mission Impossible pretty much with MacGyver having a whole team.
This pilot is actually more fun than most of episodes in later seasons. It was definitely better with George Eads as Jack than without him. Even if Jack had a much smaller role in the original.
Well it is trying to be cocky and fun, but it is stupid, not in the good way in the end, unwatchable for me.
I mean it is worse then scorpion, like csi cyber bad
Scorpion at least had that Asian tomboy chick.
Or maybe I'm just too old for macgyver.
BTW rally subtle dream house ...
The pilot was over the top with an arrogant lead who is too big to contain .. hated this
This is kind of trash. I hate the voice overs explaining everything and the dialogue is not great. But this kind of dumb thriller stuff is what I enjoy so I'm going to continue watching this until it probably gets too dumb and trash for me to handle.
There are simply no words for this atrocity.
Not quite sure about it.
A bit too much government agency and too less lone wolf genius.
The explanations would be fine, if they weren't so far off.
I knew most of this stuff was not the way they explain it in the show when i was in 9th grade...
Still, it was fun to watch - will see how it progresses.
the new mcgyver for millenials to watch. :-):
Plenty of action but feels more like Mission Impossible meets Johnny Quest so far. Not much of what made the original good is captured here. Macgyver never had a team. Although yes he does at least have some of his skills from the original show.
Plus I predict his girlfriend he thinks is dead is alive and bad by the end. Watch me be right. "Updated comment" And yes I was right lol...
So yeah was a little cliche and predictable but I will probably watch it every week nevertheless.

Even MacGruber was better than this.
