What do you think? Have you been watching the first season of the new Lethal Weapon TV series? Do you think it deserves a full season?
I think it’s a really good series it really needs to comeback for more seasons
I love the show. I hope it they renew for several seasons
AMAZING! look forward to Wednesday nights they got this one right, hope it has many seasons.
Awe, this show is amazing. I really don’t watch a lot of TV but this one I am loving, hope it hangs around for along time, they got this one right.
My husband and I love this show. Everything we love gets cancelled. Please make it a regular!! Love it!
Amen,sister!
I have been trying to figure out why this hasn’t been on. I love it. But only 5 episodes does not the season make. I was worried it was cancelled. Please don’t do that. There aren’t many good shows on anymore. But this isone of my favorites.
I have been enjoying this show and wondered why it wasn’t on last night. Friends are not aware of the show, so I’ve been talking it up. Keep the show on, please. I love the show.
Yes keep it on It is one of the best new series. We really enjoy it
oh oh oh, i love this show
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I loved the movies and I think fox has done a great job bringing it to TV! Of course, there are always changes needed to adapt a scrip from the movies to TV play. I actually like the changes made to the characters. It all still manages to stay true to the heart of the characters we love! It’s also the best casting I’ve seen in a long time! Crawford is perfect as Riggs! Even sexier than the original ever was! It’s a great scrip with all the comic banter we loved in the movies!! I… Read more »
Love the show! Comic banter underneath solid-with great room to grow- dramatic story lines has been strong. The wife and son are tremendous with the wife playing herself into a continued strong role. This could be Rockford, lethal Weapon with better humor on steroids, and Barney Miller all rolled into one. Damon is growing into a natural type star and the Briggs guy is spectacular from day one. All the best you guys and that absolutely includes the great acting wife’s choice of personalities to portray.
I meant the chemistry between them is just like the original movies!
I’ve been huge fan of the movie series and I think FOX/Shane Black have a good thing going. I’m also glad its a reboot of the storyline. Any attempt to recreate the storyline outside the current decade wouldn’t have done well. You’ve great actors/actresses, it deserves as many seasons it can get.
I love this show!!! These chemistry between them is just like the movie series.
Love this show! Glad it gets to stay….at least for the year (so far)
I like it way better than Rush Hour show. I really wanted to, but I only liked Carter’s character out of the duo. I like both Riggs and Murtough on Lethal Weapon even though when I heard about both I was like what’s the point of starting over since a lot of people saw the movies and seeing them over. I see how it’s a reboot and not the same.
