I'm pretty much on the same page as Kevin (I just finished watching the Sunday night replay on CBS). Not as jokey as the 5-0 reboot (but it doesn't take itself too seriously), and slightly less suspension of disbelief required than the MacGyver reboot. That said, I'm not likely to seek it out, but would probably stay on it if I had nothing better to do/watch. I could be proven wrong, but I don't see the actors playing Magnum and Higgins recapturing the Odd Couple-like magic Selleck and Hillerman managed. David

However, it only took them ten minutes to show Higgins in tight pants and a sports bra. If you want to seem enlightened when casting a woman in what was originally a male role, maybe don't rush to sexualize her? The female Higgins works in the context they laid out in the pilot episode, but the gratuitous body shot was a d*ck move by what I assume is a mostly male production and writing team.
