I quite enjoy this show. It is refreshing to watch a show that revolves around smart people. Most shows and jokes revolve around dumb people or ideas. Unfortunately the addition of Cage to the cast lowered the enjoyment. She is not a great actress and made scenes forced and less believable and therefore less enjoyable. It’s too bad really. The show and the premise is enjoyable and entertaining.
Esta segunda temporada foi muito bem escrita (melhor do que a primeira) e é por isso que a série merece ser prolongada. Creio que o elenco é adequado, porém, espero que a nova chefe de Phoenix não nos surpreenda negativamente nos próximos capítulos.
Ao contrário do que muitos pensam, eu gostei/gosto do vilão Murdoc. Acho que ele é bastante assustador, pois ele mexe com a mente do MacGyver (o que aconteceu várias vezes na temporada).
The jury is still out on this season, but there’s enough smart writing in this show to merit a second season and beyond. To be MacGyver, there must be inventive improvisations in each and every show. When the original lost that quality it ceased to be as good. This show needs to keep this in mind.
Will reserve my opinion on the new cast - most are adequate - but am still not certain about the Phoenix boss character. They write her too mean and nasty. This needs to morph to wise and a bit “you can’t put anything over on me” like Heddy on NCIS LA.
Do not like Murdoc character at all. I know every fictional hero is supposed to have a corresponding villain, but Murdoc is just too creepy and over the top for my taste. Don’t enjoy any shows with a Murdoc plot.
This season was a little more entertaining than the first one, whit more action creative episodically organized missions. Given the fact that this should be an action adventure it is but the science part when Mac is building anything is actually 60% inaccurate and unrealistic. Despite this and the terrible visuals it was an entertaining season with shifting plot points and non constant villains. It had no pacing issue and it hooked the general audience from the first two episodes and it was most importantly fun to watch. The actors did an average job except for the main characters, the directing was painfully average but the writing made up for it with the exceptional humor and lot of pop culture references, which made for really funny moments. The sound effects where really cheap just like the special effects in the VFX elements. The plot was fresh and didn't drag a little so it was immersive and kept the viewers going until the last minute.
Overall this is an above average season (and serial) given the fact that it is not labeled as a family friendly comedy because then it would have won maybe 1 point for it's irresistible humor. The cliffhanger for the third season is just like something Mac would do and very believable which makes the tension build up for the next season.
