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?
This program is one of the few shows on TV that I watch! I look for the program last week and something else was on. The time slot maybe the reason for low ratings because of Law and Order on another network. I do hope the program will be renewed for the next season.
I was a little uncertain about the series as I loved the movies. I am and have always been a huge fan of Damon Wayans. From the first episode I was hooked. This show has everything, action, humor and sentimentality. Just love it and look forward to many more episodes in the future. Thank you for a wonderful show!!
Fox, please continue to create new and exciting episodes of Lethal Weapon. I use the platform of Hulu to watch all my shows. This show is the one I wake myself up at 4:30 am to wait for its release. You have a winner in this quirky, thrilling, humorous and delightful show. Rumors of cancellation have me not only confused but disappointed. This show is worth the effort to improve whatever it is you are unhappy with rather than cancellation. Please consider all of us viewers on Hulu as well as the quickly becoming dinosaur medium of cable TV. Sincerly… Read more »
I want Lethal Weapon to continue please let me know when the next show will be thank you
My favorite tv show of all time. Great job guys!!
I LOVE this show. I’ve never submitted comments for anything before but really look forward to it. My sister comes over to my house once a week to see it as well. Great work guys!!
Great series … look forward to more
I LOVE this show. The dynamic between the two stars is great, and LOVE how Riggs and Murtaugh’s wife tease Rodger. The M family are terrific, and add fullness to the characters. The captain is great and so is the Father in law. Please keep it coming. Seasons 2, 3, 4 and on and on.
I absolutely love this show. I think the chemistry between Clayne and Damon is as good and maybe even better than Danny Glover and Mel Gibson.
Please do not cancel Lethal Weapon. Best show in a long time
Great show…
Honestly. I’m so happy this show was made. I’m one for shows that can sway my emotions, that’s what makes good show! A good show makes you feel and Lethal Weapons has me feeling something! It has made me feel love, sorrow, anger, fear, joy, and so much more! I can only say keep the amazing people that brought this show together on the team through everything because they know what they’re doing! As long as they’re there, I’m here!
I love the show. My fiance and I never miss it. It’s funny too.
I hace been watching S1 in Argentina, where WB channel has skipped two episodes, 9 & 10, and I really enjoy the show a lot. It’s well written, characters are easy yo enpathise with and in general the show is pretty solid. Totalmente deserves a S2
Love the Humor…cant wait till next episode
