Featured review
Excellent episode, a bit unorthodox
This one starts with archival black&white video footage from the Hungarian Revolution in 1956. Nice historical context.....It sets the stage for Magnum's search for a KGB agent from that era who is now possibly in Hawaii. Both simultaneously search for a bird-keeping recluse who is living on a secluded estate. A person from Higgins's past resurfaces as well.... Not really a great action or crime mystery, but this episode has a number of nice quirky elements, and it seems that Magnum even cedes the spotlight a bit. Higgins has a number of nice moments (especially trying to keep pace during a jog). His meticulous/suppressed personality comes across quite well too. And, the Ferrari is accompanied by a few other rarely seen guest stars: T. C.'s helicopter, a vintage Ford Bronco, and a large Parrot named Merlin (that is a key part of the final scene).
This memorable episode is well-paced, with interesting characters. You almost sympathize with the Birdman's desire for isolation. Great scenery as well.
