What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the FOX television network, Lethal Weapon follows two very different cops who are forced to work together on the streets of Los Angeles. Grief-stricken after the loss of his young wife and unborn child, ex-Navy SEAL-turned-detective Martin Riggs (Clayne Crawford) moves to California to “start over.” He’s paired up with family man Roger Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) who’s just coming back to the job after a near-fatal heart attack. Can these two live long enough to learn to work together? The rest of the cast includes Kevin Rahm, Keesha Sharp, Dante Brown, Chandler Kinney, Jordana Brewster, and Johnathan Fernandez.

Telly’s Take
Overall, the first season of Lethal Weapon has been a solid performer for FOX. Although the original season one order was for 13 episodes, back in October, the network ordered five additional installments and called it a “full” season. Lethal Weapon was renewed for season two in February of 2017. At the time of its renewal, the show was one of the top five scripted FOX TV series.
