Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 5 "Sudden Death" Review


TC asks Magnum to take on a case to help acquit the father of one of his young football players who is accused of murder.

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of good moments to it and had a bunch of unexpected twists and turns. Everything around Magnum and TC in this episode was really great with the emotional roller-coaster they went on in this episode, and I also enjoyed it for the little bit of backstory we got around TC. Which was interesting seeing the development of TC with the discovery that his father was guilty of murder and went to prison because of it so TC had to learn to survive on his own until his dad was freed. Then Magnum and TC's relationship being tested went evidence comes up possibly linking Hani to the murder and Magnum is conflicted on whether to go to the police was such a great moment and so well done. And I just found it interesting how they chose to frame things and shoot scenes where it was done in a way that made each suspect seem guilty until things came up proving them innocent to some degree. Then the true story of what lead up to the murder and who the murderer was all was a great sort of secret story in this episode where the truth involved a scorned lover who thought that her husband was cheating on her with his work partner. Then how Magnum found that out was so interesting to see. Everything around the MMA fighter and him going after his bad drug dealers was just really odd and kind of unnecessary to this episode and it just made very little sense besides proving another suspect besides Hani. Then everything with Higgin's in this episode was interesting with her dealing with Makoa while Magnum and TC try and save his dad and it was just really fun to see her try and deal with a kid. Then just overall this was a really great and interesting episode that had some good moments to it.
