MacGyver: What You Didn’t Know About The Classic Show

A Nice Change Of Pace

With any action series, the main character is always the main focal point but many times, they can’t do it all alone. A team is great to have in case things get too out of hand. In the reboot, Lenkov wanted to change the dynamics of Macgyver’s team.

“I wanted it to stand out a little bit from the original show,” Lenkov said. “I wanted that character to have a family around him, people that he relies on. I feel that TV shows nowadays are very character-driven, so I really wanted to sort of explore his character. And how do you do that? By really having him interact with people close to him.”
