A private investigator who works when he wants, lives in a beachfront estate in Hawaii, drives a posh Ferrari, runs up an unlimited tab at a swank bar, and charms attractive women in peril - that's the lifestyle of Thomas Magnum, aka Magnum, P.I.
It was good. Though quite different to the original. And I did had reservations of a female Higgins, which implies that the writers would intend some romance between the two characters, which I think would be weird (and I prefer the relationship to be an antagonistic rivalry).
With that being said, the remake version provided a modern feel combining witty humour and back-to-back action.

I hate this, it was absolutely horrible, an insult to the original where the characters make no sense, the changes are absolutely pointless, and the stories are inane and boring.
But, there is action and it makes a political statement, and I think that was the point. The statement was the point for the changes, it was the point for many of the plots, and so much so that the stories all seemed to take a back seat to it.
Ultimately it is nonsense, but it makes you piss the original
