Critics' reviews

"Some of us won’t be able to watch 'MacGyver' without feeling like we’re getting a lobotomy with an unwound paper clip; others will be delighted by this energetic, easygoing update."

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"The slick action is soulless, the voice-over is awkward, and Till isn’t faceted enough to add a human dimension."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"This combination of odds and ends and wires and tin foil doesn't make a hit. (...) There’s a lot of action, fleet camera work and an annoying, anachronistic voice-over narration by our pretty hero."

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"Watching MacGyver try to gadget his way out of a predicament just makes you think, 'Isn't there an app for that?'"

Neil Genzlinger: The New York Times
"Till’s delivery is wooden and clunky. The writing doesn’t help--the pilot script is full of silly plot short-cuts and painfully cheesy lines."

Maureen Ryan: Variety
