You guys had it handed to you and you missed it!
If the guy is too short and Magnum P.I. is going to be too strong, it should be "Plus-P. I."
Really proud of that one.... :-)

It may be a decent show. It won't stack up to the original, but it may be worth watching to see if it's mildly entertaining. I do like the reboot of Hawaii 5-0, and S.W.A.T. isn't too bad. (although it has a lot of liberal crap in there at times)
Don't like the casting of a pretty boy as Magnum, or the chick as (TC would say) "Higgy baby". She's just not the retired old world traveled bad ass that the original Higgins was. On it's own, it may be a decent show (for the times), it's just gonna suck because the original show had such a great cast. No comparison.
Side note: I wonder who the mandatory gay couple will be?

Agatha, Carol Baldwin (the DA) and the new female Higgins in a threeway?
Mac and Doc. Ibold?

Taran Tactical posted a video on their Facebook of Jade Struck (female competitive shooter and instructor working with Taran) running an STI gun that's apparently used in the series by the protagonist.
The video they posted included some shots of the protagonist using the pistol in the series and...
Yuck.
I never saw the original series, so I don't know if the over-the-top action coated in liberal CGI is true to the original series or not. But...

Annnndddd this is what I was waiting for, if this was reversed we wouldn't be hearing the end of "Cultural Appropriation" exclamations.
'Magnum P.I.' cast on why rebooted series features mustache-less Mexican-American lead
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...163443893.htmlWhen Magnum P.I. returns to CBS in September, the show — and its hero — will look a little different. In place of Tom Selleck, Magnum will now be played by Mexican-American actor Jay Hernandez. And that’s not all; his frequent foil Higgins — originally played by John Hillerman — is now portrayed by Perdita Weeks. “We’re certainly not denying the fact that [Magnum] is Mexican-American,” executive producer Eric Guggenheim tells Yahoo Entertainment. “It is something that is acknowledged in the series. But I think we’re very proud of the fact that we have a cast that, frankly, looks like America does.”

Maybe he will be gay, too. That way they can check all the boxes.

I don’t do much care that He is Hispanic, and I can get the update about losing the moustache.
But a huge part of his character was height.
They needed a six two or more Hispanic dude, not a five and a half foot tall guy.
