After returning home from Afghanistan, Thomas Magnum re-purposes his military skills to become a private investigator in Hawaii.
This was a really great first episode that had a lot of fun moments to it, the only disappointing part was the fact that you could watch the trailer for the show and get the whole story of this first episode. Which is something that kind of annoys me with a lot of trailer for shows because it seems to be a growing pattern where you don't need to watch the first episode just watch the trailer for the show and you get what is going on, and I don't like that I want to be surprised and get to know the characters while watching the show. I did really like how they introduced each other the main characters and how each of them interacts with each other and help out to achieve the goals for the episode. The only character that kind of bugged me was Higgins because partway through the episode her personality just completely changed. Where at the beginning of the episode she was very cold and off-putting to everyone else and then all the sudden she figured out the Magnum lost a girl and she suddenly changes to being relatively nice and wanting to help in any way she can. And it bugged me because that change was just of sudden and drastic and kind of weird. The show did a really good job of keeping a good pace to it with how they got from one event to another. One of the weird thing to me that played into that was how the police department didn't want Magnum involved with the case but when he discovered something they never punished him for going behind there back and a lot of times they even helped him to figure out the clues as to where to go next. I would really like a storyline in the future where Magnum is framed for a crime and his relationship with the police is truly tested. Then just overall this was a really great first episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
