The second episode of "MacGyver" suffers from the white-man-sees-(and-saves)-the-world syndrome, but it is still a cool one.
Our hero is sent on a mission to recover a canister from a crash (again in the middle of Asia). There he gets involved with some local people and a drug warlord. MacGyver been a nice guy and all that decides to do his best to help the enslaved people free themselves.
As said above, it all reeks a little bit of white guy intervention, with little kid in love with MacGyver and Asian guy learning to be free and fight. Totally unnecessary, but something that keeps creeping up. Must be our society. Don't worry, at least this people are bilingual, as their English is quite good.
On the other hand, the action is top notch, the humor is nice, and MacGyver's resourcefulness is, again, otherworldly. Which is helpful as he seems to be prone to get into trouble and pretty easy to catch.
Good episode.
