Season 1, Episode 10 – MacGyver takes us back to Mac’s hometown in “Pliers.” With another switch-up, the show seems to remain indecisive about what it wants to be.
MACGYVER
Season 1, Episode 9 – MacGyver finally captures the true spirit of its predecessor in “Chisel.” With heightened stakes and problems running awry, the show has found a story that feels worthy of its hero, MacGyver.
As we head into a season of indie films and critical darlings fighting for a few awards season nominations, the 2017 People’s Choice Awards has released their list of nominees, celebrating the big hits that gained pop culture notoriety over the past year.
Season 1, Episode 8 – MacGyver amps up the stakes and takes on an untraceable assassin in “Corkscrew.” With a plotline channeling the lone-wolf element from the original series, and some new developments in the season arc, MacGyver keeps proving this isn’t a show to immediately write off.
Season 1, Episode 7 – MacGyver takes on its version of the prison break plot “Can Opener.” With a nice balance of action, invention, and character development, it feels as though the show has finally found its sweet spot.
Season 1, Episode 6 – MacGyver sends us on an emotional ride in “Wrench,” as Mac gets a visit from The Ghost who’s haunted his past. With more focus on character motivation, the series is finally starting to find a nice balance between action and story development.
Season 1, Episode 5 – MacGyver starts to move on from his evil ex-girlfriend in “Toothpick.” Though the show continues to improve with each episode, its voice hasn’t quite landed yet.
Season 1, Episode 4 – MacGyver continues to develop its characters’ emotional storylines in “Wire Cutter.” With an interesting spin on an old story trope, the show continues to add depth to its characters and improve upon its rough beginnings.
Season 1, Episode 3 – MacGyver finally finds its footing in “Awl.” With a compelling storyline and clever inventions, the series’ third episode redeems the show’s previous flaws and gives us a taste of what this revamped reboot could be.
Season 2, Episode 2 – A serious improvement upon the pilot, this week’s episode of MacGyver still lacked the necessary cohesion to be a good show.
Season 1, Episode 1- Modern takes on action in film and television have left the newly rebooted MacGyver wanting and without the charm and intelligent mystery that forever engraved the original in pop culture history.
