At least, that's the first impression of people on Twitter to the newly released version of Magnum, P.I.
Yesterday, CBS fired out its first look at the upcoming network television reboot of the classic '80s detective show. The shot depicts Jay Hernandez, the new Magnum, sitting idle in his expensive Italian whip. Here it is:

Hernandez is best known for roles in successful films such as Bad Moms and Suicide Squad. His new Magnum is slated to roll onto small screens sometime this fall.
