I went into this knowing it'd be different from the original series. No changing that. What I didn't expect was a discount spy thriller hoping to blend Burn Notice and MacGyver, and taking the worst from both. The show lacks in charm and imagination. MacGyver is no longer shown to be funny, charming, or clever. He never thinks about solutions, we just see it midway through the problem. No thought or exploration.

Lets hope for more character development. Reasonable plot for a pilot. Id like to see this go more of a Daniel Craig style of 007. Serious and a little dark, over a fun but kinda goofy Roger Moore as 007. This show could go serious action or 80s goofy. I think the brand and audience would be better served with "serious action" angle.

Will give it 1 or 2 more episodes to get better... cuz I don't know how that pilot got picked up. The characters were weak, as was the storyline. Also, the way they showed his "skills" seemed like something a nine year old would know how to do. And, I'm sorry, but the main actor looks like a teenager, so I don't know how to take him seriously. His initial romantic interest looks like a proper twenty-something, but it seemed as though she was making out with a child, cuz he's got such a baby face, creepy.
