MacGyver<\/em> Website<\/a> His name is MacGyver, Angus MacGyver. He doesn’t like guns.<\/p>\n But that’s OK, because his best friend Jack Dalton uses them plenty.<\/p>\n Mac and Jack work covertly for the government and their boss is Patricia Thornton.<\/p>\n The third team member is Nikki Carpenter, a computer hacker. But she gets killed on their latest mission and gets replaced with an ex-con by the name of Riley Davis.<\/p>\n Together they retrieve items and people from places where the government officially can’t go.<\/p>\n It’s MacGyver<\/em> in name only. They try to do the same stuff like the voice-over by Mac and the technical gizmos, but it’s just not the same. Just like the The A-Team<\/em> movie was not The A-Team<\/em>.<\/p>\n I don’t think it was bad. It was certainly enjoyable to watch. But in the end it is a generic action show. It doesn’t offend, it doesn’t bring shame to the name. But it’s also nothing special, nothing that screams “Watch me!”.<\/p>\n Personally, I think Tristin Mays (Riley) is more beautiful than Tracy Spiridakos (Nikki). But I do find it weird that every single show needs at least one quota person of colour. Even when you only have three main actors. <\/p>\n I don’t mind it, I never did. I never did mind Mr. T. Mr. T was awesome! But with the constant barrage of equal representation demands like #OscarsSoWhite I just notice it and wonder if a channel would ever dare to air a new show with an all-white cast.<\/p>\n I also watch The Carmichael Show<\/em> which is an all-black show. No one demands equality there. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n But a different topic: When will movie makers be able to make a CGI explosion not look totally fake?<\/p>\n
