I am sure the folks that put this out are hoping that some of us that used to watch the original will watch it, but I suspect we are not their target audience. I'm sure their target audience is a much younger crowd.

The trailer had too much action (and a bunch of it was over the top). A big part of the original show was the personal interaction between the various characters, and I'm not sure that I see that in this. Also, Magnum was a lot like a laid back Indiana Jones character, a fallible hero. He wasn't 007 or Jason Bourne, his stunts didn't always go as planned and there were lots of screw-ups. But in the end, he pulled it off, and there was plenty of comedy (often directly from Magnum) throughout the show. This does not look like that.

Maybe the younger crowd will like it. I may watch an episode or two out of curiosity.
