Entertaining Fantasy, Forced Romance
Johnny_West28 March 2020
At the beginning of this season, it says that over a year had passed (not six months). Technically, if they were in the present last season, then this season is about six months in the future. The whole point of adding a year was so that the writers could shoehorn a one year relationship between Levy Tran and Lukas Till that had never existed in season 3, and was over at the beginning of season 4. Kind of confusing and convoluted.

All this season, Levy Tran and Lukas Till have had an on-again, off-again relationship that is beyond awkward and forced. It is pretty obvious from the frigid smiles and uncomfortable body language that the two of them do not enjoy kissing each other, and it really adds nothing to the MacGyver series. Just a lot of awkward moments. I wish they would finally end this charade, and at the end of this episode, it turns out that there may be a new player for MacGyver's heart.

Which brings me to the action part of this episode. Double-dating at a restaurant, MacGyver immediately spots the odd characters and follows them around, and discovers a crime. All hell breaks loose, shooting, blowing things up, fighting, martial arts, cracked skulls, and more. It is entertaining to watch. If you think about the story, you are doomed. I am old enough to remember the original MacGyver, before CGI, and it was ten times dumber than this show. So I give this episode an 8, for entertaining!!

Getting better?

The show seems to be getting better it's like a team have taken over the show or they just got better but something that has frustrated me in two episodes is the ending of the episodes. This started well and was going well until the apartment scene I just didn't like it for some reason. As good as this season has been I didn't feel Riley break up because I didn't really feel the chemistry but I'm not watching the show for the drama but for the entertainment. Personally for me shows about law enforcement or agency doesn't need all the relationship drama because for me it's a cheap way to get people watching.

Guest Stars! Awesome Choice

I think the Impractical Jokers at the restaurant ( Joe, Murr, Qinn, and Sal) were a great touch to the episode, I completely did not see it coming! Having them as guest stars was an excellent idea! Impractical Jokers is a great show and they have done many restaurant jokes so they fit their role very well! That made this my favorite episode to date now!

Should be called MacGyver and MacGyverettes

Although this show wants to be a spiritual successor of the original MacGyver series it is far from it.
