Aarohon D @RT07884920 Aug 21 noice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more SIBIRIAK . @RT79513769 05/09/2025 The Office is mockumentary. This is mockaction. (there could be spoilers, but I don't thing they are, i didn't reveal the stories of the episodes, only details in scenes) I'm watching it as it's a parody on all spy-action films. I don't remember myself laughing at ridiculousness of a film. It's so ridiculous it's passing the threshold of taking it serious. So many continuity mistakes. The team is so stereotyped so much so it gives me motion sickness. Don't get me started on physical nature of scenes. And this by the way contradicts the DIY ideas of MockcGyver which sometimes actually not all bad, sometimes fantastically improved, but not all ridiculous. Feels like there was a special person asigned to come up with them (granted, sometimes this person takes a sick day). For example, on minute he uses the gas detector from a car to find a moving vehicle which of course is weak to do it but it makes sense. And the next minute they found the car that is moving towards them. So, what, the emission of the vehicle is flying miles ahead of it? And the next moment he is using a smartphone as a hammer to bend a piece of armor metal on a killer-robot-car. It's funny. And oh my God. They talk so much! Is it really that necessary to chew every detail up? All these briefings in the so-called war room. All these ancient stereotypical scenes where boys kick each other the way it's supposed to render them near death in bath of blood but instead they have not a single bump. And when one person saves another from a moving car by throwing themselves at them? I mean, C'mon, people. For how long? Buh-ut. Meredith Eaton is cool. I loved her in Boston Legal. And, of course, Tristin Mays makes my heart skip a beat sometimes. Update. Ok. I changed it from 3 to 4. I don't know if it's old but I like this stereotypical location annotation mocking. Sometimes it's funny. Nobody gets it. It's clearly a parody series. Another thing. Every show where I see this thing I want to say "it gets old" and every time I see it again and once again it gets even older. I don't know why nobody says anything about that. The hatred by all the characters to the supposedly nerdy stuff. I remember it in 24, in Alias, In The Blacklist, and God knows how many more. When the guy in a lab (in this case it's MacGyver and Jill) starts explaining stuff, everyone starts rolling their eyes and interrupt rudely. In case sometimes they don't even tell anything difficult to understand. Update Ok. I finished the second season and changed my rating from 4 to 5. You know what, locations are not entirely bad. You can't always say that it's not the said country. Editing is not bad, it's captivating enough, keeps the pace and development. There is no weird pauses between phrases. I wouldn't say anything specific about cinematography, but it's up to the standards for such genre. And those silly close-ups of on-a-spot inventions are not that easy to direct. And, remember it's television. There are deadlines, stunts, locations graphic designs, even when there is a lot of green-screen shootings. So, you did it, MacGruber, oy, MacGyver, sorry. See more Musical F @RT56275767 09/26/2023 First 3 seasons were good, this season was not good. The whole codex narrative was terrible. Jeri Ryan was not good. Forced acting. There was no replacing George Eads. Desi is not a likable character. Seems like a diversity hire. Could be it's too many women now, but I think the problem is Riley is the only solid female character. Matty and Desi seemed forced. (Little person and Asian), but I'm not supposed to say anything or I'll probably be banned from the internet. The state of Hollywood and the world. Forced inclusion just makes the content worse, when will they learn? Stop trying so hard to win points from the woke mob, it's ruining these shows. See more 06/21/2021 It's pretty amazing that the reboot of this venerable 80s show — which lasted seven seasons and only ended when star Richard Dean Anderson told TV Guide, "The only reason it went off the air was that everybody was ready to move on. I was physically exhausted and had no life." In the new series, Lucas Till plys Angus "Mac" MacGyver, an undercover government agent for the Phoenix Foundation, a covert agency that the rest of the world believes is a think tank. An Army EOD technician, Mac prefers to use non-lethal means to stop his enemies and excels, as always, at solving problems with unique scientific feats. The new version of the show was created by Peter M. Lenkov — who created the comic RIPD that the movie is based on — and takes place inside the same universe as his other two shows, Magnum P.I. and Hawaii Five-O. Lenkov also wrote Demolition Man, Son In Law and the second and third Universal Soldier films. A sad thing to report is that he was removed from all of the CBS shows he created in 2020 because it was said that he fostered a "toxic work environment," with Lucas Till telling Vanity Fair, "I've never worked this hard in my life, and I am fine with hard work. But the way Peter treats people is just unacceptable. I was suicidal that first year on the show, because of the way he made me feel. But the way he's treated the people around me — that's just my breaking point." But a positive thing is that the series is actually pretty fun to watch. I wish that it had been a better experience for the people making it. Horror fans will also enjoy seeing appearances in season 4 from some of their favorite actors like Keith David, Peter Weller, Joshua Leonard (The Blair Witch Project) and Tobin Bell. The Tenderloins (James Murray, Sal Vulcano, Joe Gatto, and Brian Quinn), who you may know from Impractical Jokers, also appear as waiters in one episode. This season also finds the Phoenix Foundation being rebuilt as a privately funded entity to go up against CODEX, a secretive organization that is coordinating multiple catastrophes to get the attention of world leaders. They also possess something called File 47, which is about the end of the world. Any time the team gets close to the truth, the agent from that group always commits suicide rather than reveal their plan. There's even an episode with Mac loses his short-term memory and must undergo a dangerous treatment that sends his brain back in time, where he meets numerous people from his past and the past of CODEX, such as Thomas Alva Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, his mother, his evil self and even Nikolai Tesla, who helps him regain his memory and teaches him the secrets of Shiva, a superweapon he's created. Season 4 moves at a quick clip and it's pretty cool that there's an underlying story arc throughout the episodes. See more 04/13/2021 MacGyver is an amazing television show!! Full of action packed nail biting moments with some comedy thrown in. The Phoenix team travels all over the globe to save the world. The episodes get better and better each season. The cast and crew give their A game each and every time. The new showrunner wants to take the show to even higher levels. You have to watch this show. You will not be disappointed!! See more 11/22/2020 The 4th season is the worst season, thus far. The new characters are completely unlikeable. This storyline is all over the place. I'm six episodes in and I don't know what the hell is going on. I'm done with this series. See more Read all reviews
