Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in MacGyver actually is?
Everyone praising the MacGyver performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in MacGyver?
Rewatched MacGyver last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in MacGyver is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love MacGyver. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: MacGyver is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of MacGyver and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
