ShangLuda
Admirable film.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I like shows that make science look cool. George Eads is fun.

Just saw 5 minutes of an episode and by god it was awful, was season 2 apisode 18, zapping through the channels saw they were about to just by the flick on a laptop shut down the engines of a plane and by wonder it dropped out of the sky as a brick, really? Engines shut down it will act as a giant glider and all instruments won't be gone as a plane does have a RAM, which allows basic functions. This is just so lame it ain't fipunny, original Macgyver was so much better growing up with it.

Yes it does not stand any comparison to carefully explained science tricks of the original. I have not a clue what he does here as it is not explained at all. Children safety cause former generation experimented too much :P? But I like it. MacGyver has feelings. He is bonded with friends with his father with Maddie. All of them are real people that are grounded in relations. The former one had a lot of high causes related to saving all hungry children in Africa but at the same time all he had done was hooking up around with some superficially romantic sugarcoat on top of it. The new one is just a person and is not overdone in either way. I like Boser who loves Liana, I like Riley who has a father and makes family plans with Billy Colton. I do like updated version of them all.

The first few episodes of MacGyver 2016 were a bit James Bond/The Saint (Simon Templar)-like, too willing, and were not done with great care or great budgets. In time, it appears they found money and things got better. When the first few episodes were considered, the only good thing was the always great Lucas Till, but the rest of the show was not good at all. Season 1 of the series developed as the writers eventually found the voice/direction/formula they were looking for, and with the introduction of such characters as Murdoc, deeper looks into the characters, and the development of the eponymous character itself, things got better. I am very glad that I didn't stop watching it after the first few episodes.
The second season is far better, and is getting better by episode, too. It had its below-par episodes but the general tone set in Season 2 is far better than the first season. Also, such great episodes as 2x09 or 2x15 make it far superior in quality to the earlier season.
Also, Lucas Till is really looking great and doing a great job. I hope MacGyver will be given a 3rd series and more time and space (and funding) to develop its characters and storylines.
Finally, it must be said that the best episodes are those in US soil and, to be utterly honest, most who watch it don't care about Bozer's spy school or development or his girlfriend at all. We are here for MacGyver and not for Bozer, Jack, or Riley's parental problems. Still, it's alright to know more about peripheral characters' backstories.
Also, for those who think I didn't know the original, despite being one of the three great series of my childhood (Battlestar Galactica, MacGyver, and Dallas), the original Mac was solving a nuclear power plant meltdown with a tennis racket found in the control centre of the said power plant, so give Mr Till's MacGyver some slack.
