The authors thought they had to recycle the characters of the original series.
So Mac's nephew (or another kind of relative) works in his original MacGyver's old working place and anybody there has the name of one of Mac's old mates and colleagues? Sure... I'm absolutely fine with a female boss, but DON'T call her Patricia Thornton! That's just silly. And calling an Ex-Marine Jack Dalton is even more silly.
The characters themselves are... ok. But "Team MacGyver" doesn't work out just like "Team Knight Rider" didn't.
Besides that, I sometimes have the feeling the new Mac just ocssionally builds stuff so you may call him Mac.

I didn't like it as I liked the original series
