MacGyver season 1 review

Tonight, MacGyver began with an opportunity for Mac and Jack to be out in the field … but in a timeline that was a little bit different than what we’re seeing the present. We went back to Cairo, otherwise known as one of the worst days of MacGyver and Jack’s life. We reflect on how terrible that […]

There are many things that we’ve learned about Angus MacGyver throughout this season, but on MacGyver episode 19 on Friday night, we had a chance to learn more about the title character’s time at MIT. He was a brilliant student, someone capable of a fantastic job that would probably make him a millionaire many times over. Yet, […]

At times, crossover episodes can be corny. You’re trying to force characters together who typically are not, and there often isn’t a whole lot of chemistry that is there built-in. On MacGyver episode 18, it was clear at about eight or nine minutes into the episode that there wasn’t a whole lot of a reason […]

MacGyver episode 17 came in with the challenge of trying to top the fun (and the drama) that we had last week courtesy of the Colton Family’s big arrival. Given just how iconic they are to the show, we were curious which way this review was going to tilt. One of the reasons why “Ruler” […]

The Colton Family was one of the most iconic crews from the original version of “MacGyver,” so with that it almost goes without saying that we were stoked to see them play out on the series Friday night. The bounty-hunting finale served as a thorn in the side to the team through most of the […]

Tonight, “MacGyver” brought to you an episode that may very well be its most frightening of the entire season. It also just so happened to be the one where Jack punched a robot in the face. While this may not have pertained to the case of the week all that much, it’s hard to care […]

Tonight, “MacGyver” returned after a short hiatus with “Fish Scaler,” and it took little time before it was clear precisely how different this stage of the show was going to be. So what was different? It really just begins and ends by talking about one Matty Webber, the new director of the Phoenix Foundation. She’s got […]

Last week, “MacGyver” delivered a jam-packed episode that was stuffed full of familiar faces. Over the course of it you saw Amy Acker’s Sarah, Mac’s hot-and-cold love interest Nikki, and the most infamous villain of the show to date in Murdoc. We also learned that Thornton was a traitor to the cause the whole time, […]

Who is Nikki Carpenter really? For most of the season so far on “MacGyver,” it’s appeared as though Mac’s noteworthy ex was a traitor, desperate to destroy and take down the team. Yet, on Friday night’s new episode entitled “Screwdriver,” we started to get a sense that there may have been more than meets the […]
