It could've been a whole lot better. Straight off the bat, I'm going to assume that the original series is much better, or that I would think so when I get around to watching it. I guess that's a mutual thing with TV shows from back then. They had their respective charms, for their time, especially, and still do, and still hold up, even now. And by rebooting one of them, nobody can seem to make it, the newer, more modernized version, anything like whatever made people love the original. Is that because a more modernized take on something from back then doesn't fit, or is it because reboots, in general, have this bad reputation of being done horribly, and because of that, nobody dares to attempt giving it their all and having their focus be on making it like the original but with a kick of modernization? I mean, wouldn't it be something if a reboot is just that, in just the sense of its meaning, and people like the hell out of it? Or take it a step further than that. A reboot that is only such when it comes to its meaning but is compared closely with the original? That would be quite something. Is it possible, though? I think it can be, but nobody is stepping up to the plate for that. They just prefer rebooting a TV show, or something from the past and disregard certain aspects that shouldn't have been disregarded, and make unnecessary changes. What they don't seem to understand is that it isn't necessary. Of course, one might say that a reboot in itself isn't necessary. But I think differently. It is all about the execution, even with making changes and disregarding certain things and aspects. I think reboots have the potential to be just as good as what they're based on, I just don't think this one is that precious first one. Then again, as I said, I haven't watched the original Magnum P.I. series, yet. But there isn't a doubt in my mind that it is way better than this reboot. At best, it serves as the perfect show to be watching when other shows that you are currently watching are much more serious and tense, as a mentally therapeutic, lighthearted fix to relieve and bask yourself in.
