It's from the same people that developed the 'new' Hawaii 5-0 and MacGyver.  
While I suppose the 5-0 leads are comparable between series, Lucas Till is no 
Richard Dean Anderson.  (George Eads could be a Bruce McGill, but that's a 
different debate.)

For whatever reason, and YMMV, those shows do better with casting the 
supporting roles...until they can them in the most tone-deaf way imaginable.

I was trying to think of why this seemed a bad idea to me and I found this 
Guardian article to put it into words. Magnum is a pretty dumb show but Tom 
Selleck made it fun and watchable. There's no reason to think CBS will cast a 
lead that will bring what he brought so all that leaves is a pretty dumb show.
