There's a lot of crap in the show, but if you endure it, there are some 'golden moments', too, that you can actually enjoy.
Richard Dean Anderson's charisma is always enjoyable, their fights with Dalton are hilarious.
Murdoc (or was it Murdock? I forgot) is _SO_ stupidly insanely cartoonish supervillain that can't die, it's actually really fun to watch him, if you have the right attitude about it.
So if you turn your brain into a 'silly cartoon'-mode, you can enjoy this show quite a lot, but beware of the stupidities, repetitions of plot, devices, and gimmicks, and the feminázi preachy crap where women are always better and stronger than men, and other typical TV-tropes like that.
This show never got to soar in the heights it deserved to, but you can see the potential. The first season is pretty bad, so it does get better, and sometimes even dares to 'fantastic' plotlines, like the UFO episode that I like, often it's just pretty predictable, typical TV garbage with nothing much to offer, it all depends.
I do like the eighties charm and the musics sometimes, and how some episodes do try something different.
Of course even this show has the typical TV trope of 'amnesia' - why does every single TV show have this? Is amnesia really this common? Knight Rider did it, too - both for K.I.T.T. and Michael separately.
At least we don't get the 'long-lost twin' that looks exactly like MacGyver..
..do we? I sure hope not.
