Script review - "Magnum" reboot pilot

Solid work. Lacks an element of magic. The X factor of the old show was the character of Magnum and his relationship  with Higgins. Here Higgins is a girl, which is fine, but she seems more set up to be a long term romantic interest. I did really love Magnum's ex being a crook. Magnum's friends aren't terribly well defined. I wasn't wild about the opening teaser being fantasy or the fact his friend was tortured before being killed - this just felt mean.
