The old one is not bad but I definitely prefer the new MacGyver than the classic. The classic has perks that I can't ever seeing the new one would ever have. The only reason I choose the new one over the classic is because I like the MacGyver's stories better. It is also more in my age era (the new one)

Wish they had season 3. I don't know if anyone has noticed but all the titles don't match the summaries after season 2. So if we buy one episode will we get a completely different one?

My five month old daughter loves Richard Dean Anderson which is Edgar MacGyver, 10/10 would and will purchase his whole series just for her. I wish Netflix didn't remove MacGyver this month just because of that stupid new revamp for the "millennials" of my generation. Which I hope doesn't appear on Netflix just to replace the classic version because of my generations lack of interest in actual action TV shows.
