Thomas Magnum is an ex Navy soldier who was serving at Afghanistan. After he got back from there, he uses his military experience to work as a private detective in Hawaii. He gets a job as a security consultant on Robin’s Nest where he meets the pretty young woman, Juliet Higgins. Juliet is the majordomo there and she has some troubles that lead Thomas to enter into it.
Bonus points to CBS for reimagining Higgins as a former British Intelligence officer, as a woman, and for being unafraid to destroy the odd luxury sports car here and there.
Sure, there are cosmetic changes (Higgins is a woman now), but once you get past the name, this could be any detective show, one likely to rise or fall on Hernandez's appeal and Magnum's camaraderie with his various pals.
