    Such a frustrating disappointment

    This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

    First when I saw jaw dropping negative reviews about this Series I was very much afraid of giving it a try but And a huge but came and to.my surprise this series is very addictive not something serious or dark but it will a very well made and screened out play.The main leading role played by Lucas Till AKA blondie is very good and he kept the character very composed The story line is good with some.kind.of mystical drama thrill and some above average common sense.I would not spoil the main charm but give it a try and its worth watch once I gained confidence I really started loving the the whole season a d now waiting for season 3.Peace.

    While i also watched the old series with Richard Dean Anderson, I had a bigger problem with Anderson playing the roll, after many years as a soap star on General Hospital, than with the new guy. I eventually got into the old show, and it was pretty good. but the new one is better. Other than George, these are fresh actors, and the FX are ten times better than the old show. Once you remember that this show was intended for a new audience, it's actually pretty good! I have the 80's version on DVD, and after a side by side comparison the new show wins me over. Would it have been better to put Anderson back into this new series? No, he couldn't pull it off.The main thing to remember is that while it is classified as a reboot, it's actually a new show intended for a new younger audience. Don't turn the the kids away from this show by expecting it to be like the old show. Anderson could not pull this off anymore be cause like you, he is much older now. Just keep an open mind and remember Star trek was a classic, and nobody cared about the constant reboots. Macgyver on the other hand was not a classic and if you watch the new and old side by side, sorry I believe the new show wins.

    Having been a long time fan of the original, I was at least intrigued to see what this new version had to offer, on watching the pilot wasn't the biggest fan, Mac, the cocky 'ladies man' and partner in crime Jack Dalton, who was more 'Jack Bauer' than lovable scoundrel. However a few episodes in, it begin to grow on me the series gets better as the show progresses.Lucas Till is a great casting choice, different to the original (he drinks and doesn't have the same mid-western "Yes, ma'am" values) but manages to take on the physical stunt work and explanatory dialogue with energy and gusto.My only real issue with the show is on occasion I'd prefer if it were just 'MacGyver' rather than "..and team" on cases as it does take away from the main character's genius a little.Overall it gets a 7/10.

    I am from Konstanz am Bodensee in Germany and I am an absolute fan of the original of Mac Gyver and devoured all the episodes. That's why I was skeptical about the reissue but what I've seen so far has been absolutely awesome. The series is in the amount of series for me one of the best in recent times.The actors are all great. I like actor Lucas Till as Mac Gyver best. I think he's a great Mac Gyver and also convincing as Mac Gyver. I'm also a big fan of RD Anderson when he played in Mac Gyver or Stargate. It's clear that both actors would be the Mac Gyver in their own way, if both actors were going to play the Mac Gyver right away, the reissue would be superfluous. But that's just the thrill of seeing another actor playing Mac Gyver, and Lucas Till does that really well. You should not compare the two actors just because everyone has other benefits. Some like the one the others like the other and I just like both.Unfortunately, I can not understand all the negative descriptions. It is therefore good that everyone can say their own opinion. And my opinion is the new edition of Mac Gyver is absolutely awesome and I can only recommend to anyone to look. I hope that more seasons will follow, because this series should not end after two seasons. So there are a few more squadrons left.So I hope my English was not so bad. In this sense, continue to enjoy the series Mac Gyver because I'll have fun watching.Bye and greetings from Constance on Lake Constance in Germany :)
