Magnum, P.I.

CrimeDramaMystery45 min per episode

On Oahu, private investigator Thomas Magnum lives in a guest house on a lavish estate and takes on cases that pull him into disappearances, thefts, frauds, and murder investigations across the island. His work sends him from beaches and hotels to back roads and wealthy compounds, where each job starts with a client’s problem and opens onto something larger or more dangerous. Magnum relies on charm, persistence, and a knack for getting into trouble as he follows thin leads and talks his way past people who would rather keep secrets buried. With Tom Selleck as Magnum, the series turns each case into a mix of island life, danger, and detective work.
