I wanted to like this reboot so badly but you can hate just everything about it. Starting by everything reminding you of a "CSI: xyz" set from actors (Eads is really shallow as usually) to overlays to camera settings, saturation aand such. Mac is arrogant and seems to spend more time on his hair than on his MacGyverisms (They've been quite dull so far. [spoiler] Honestly, you simply can not bundle sunlight with a binocular lens over 100m to ignite a weapon crate [/spoiler]. And all characters are shallow and predictable. Don't get me wrong bot "of course" he had to have a person of color as his beste mate and we also needed a Latino co-star and a female in a leading position. I'm surprised they didn't make it Angie MacGyver. I wouldn't care it all if that would be compensated by good writing but nada. It's true, the originals also had shallow espionage episodes but in 2016 you'll have to come up with something better than in-/exfiltration in Caracas or North Korea (sure thing this wouldn't trigger diplomatic consequences.) As somebody else pointed out here: It's the worst show to come out in quite some time and I would be surprised and deeply offended if it was renewed.
