Reception
Critical reception
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator website, gives the series an average rating of 4.11 out of 10 based on thirty-six reviews.[52] Meanwhile, Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, gives the series a 38 based on twenty-six reviews indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[53][54] Tyler McCarthy with Den of Geek! stated about the pilot "The MacGyver reboot is the backwards product of nostalgia colliding with modernization".[55] When reviewing both MacGyver and the Lethal Weapon TV adaption Maureen Ryan with Variety said "Lucas Till's performance as the title character misses the mark completely" and that "Both programs seem like broken relics from a time capsule".[56] Daniel Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter says "Despite a blockbuster director at the helm, it's a shoddy product made out of the sort of ill-fitting bits and bobs that Angus MacGyver himself might fashion into a bomb".[57] Following the season finale Matt Webb Mitovich of TV Line stated "I find the five-person cast a bit claustrophobic, and I’m on record as not being a fan of new boss Matty Webber".[58]
Awards and nominations
As part of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards at the 69th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, stunt coordinator Jeff Wolfe was nominated for an Emmy Award in "Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Drama Series, Limited Series, or Movie";[59] the award was won by James Lew for Marvel's Luke Cage.[60] Keith Power, a composer for the series, received a BMI Award for his work on the series.[61] At the 43rd People's Choice Awards the series as a whole was nominated for a People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama, but the award was won by This Is Us.[62]
