Magnum P.I. had toxic workplace

CBS has fired the creator of the Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I. television reboots amid allegations he cultivated toxic work environments. Montreal-born Peter Lenkov was showrunner on the revivals of Magnum P.I. and Macgyver, as well as Hawaii Five-0. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter he was accused of manipulative and abusive treatment of staff on both Hawaii Five-0 and Macgyver, and he was known as a misogynist, talking down to writers, especially women and people of colour. “It’s difficult to hear that the working environment I ran was not the working environment my colleagues deserved, and for that, I am deeply sorry,” Lenkov said.
