I know what you´re thinking and you´re right.
Probably not a lot of people would name Magnum as one of the best TV shows off all time. But it is one of those iconic and memorable shows of the 80s that you can whatch again and again. The cast was perfect for the show, it sure was Tom Sellecks role of a lifetime. The same can probably be said for Hillerman. This isn't just another detective show it´s much more. Towards the end it became more serious and character driven which didn´t hurt. I always thought this was much more about the characters and their relations than anything else.
And on a sidenote: it was sometimes mentioned that this was more a show for the women because of Selleck. But let me remind you that some of the most gorgeous women of the 80s gueststarred on Magnum.
This looks like it could have lots of potential, definitely worth a watch.
Don't get fooled by the low score given by the usual numbnuts that vote months before the pilot was aired.
You will see a lot of known faces and some new ones. First episode was a solid start, if you like this typed of policial dramas don't miss this show.
