When will Hollywood learn that we don't want their PC crap, gender swapping, diversity and globalism shoved down our throats? You think they would have learned when the 2011 PC reboot of Charlie's Angels lasted 4 episodes before it was canceled. You know, that was the show with the 3 ethically diverse angels and a cute young Hispanic Bosley who was a computer genius? And instead of being simple PIs, they were complete bad asses capable of taking down international terrorists.
That is exactly the same road this Magnum PI reboot is going down, only worse. The action is just as unrealistic, the characters just as unrelatable., character development just as weak and the plot just as nonsensical. But, the lead is even more miscast here than the Angels in that reboot. For the love of God, why can't we just have traditional American hunks like Tom Selleck or the late Robert Urich in lead roles anymore? The public is tired of this casting against type, anti-hero nonsense. And don't get me started about the recasting pivotal role of Higgins as a woman who can take down the same bad guys that later easily kick Magnum's ass, all after getting shot in the arm!
And what happened to good old fashioned story telling, tongue in cheek humor and fun banter between characters? Why does everything have to be an all too serious but simultaneously mindless shoot em' up with all too frequent and unbelievable action? If you want an action series about Navy Seals, then write a series about Navy Seals. Don't rebadge a successful series about a quirky private investigator to attract viewers to your mindless action opus about a culturally diverse band of bad assess.
