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?
great show, pls renew it
I’m really loving this series, some of the action is too “hollywoody” but is still my favorite show. I have a lot of memories with the original Lethal Weapon series with my friends, some of which have passed away, so it brings back great memories and I’m really enjoying it! please keep it going !!season 2, PLEASE!!!
Look forward to the show. Such chemistry between the characters.
Renew Lethal Weapon!!!
Please keep this show for another season. Very good series.
Please keep the show. Good balance of action and comedy.
Thank goodness Fox came up with a great show. Showing cops whom have flaws, but still persue the common good. Thank you Fox.
I love this show, please don’t cancel it
Excellent show. It is worthy of many seasons to come. An entertaining comical show. One of the shows I look forward to every week pse God and I only have two other tv series I enjoy watching. Lethal weapon is the best.
For the love of God. Do not cancel this show. With all the crap on tv and Bones ending in running out of great shows. Everyone keeps canceling them. Clayne Crawford is such a great actor and had been really under utilized. And seriously who doesn’t love Damon Wayans?
I really think lethal weapon has to continue , I love it, the chemistry between clay and damon is fantastic.
Great movie, great show. I love the characters, they make it great. Perfect combo. I hope it lasts.
I was skeptical when I saw they were making a series out of the movies but I was hopeful. They couldn’t have done any better with it. I love it and am fully addicted to the storylines running through this show. Damon wayans has matured as an actor and is perfect as murtagh and the adaptation of Riggs character took a little while to grow on me but is great also. I hope this is a long running show!
Can’t get enough of this show. Great character arcs and atory lines with underlying humor.
I love this show! Funny and dramatic. I loved the movies, but this stands on it’s own. I’m hoping for many more seasons. Great show.
