Lethal Weapon was a very successful movie franchise but reimagining movies as TV shows have had a very mixed track record. Will this FOX series be a hit in the ratings? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On the Lethal Weapon TV show, two very different cops 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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Lethal Weapon TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love this show so much… we only have Internet TV, always look forward to watching it on Hulu every week.
I love the chemistry of the two main leads, I never expected that Riggs would be a character that actually is an improvement of Mel Gibson’s iconic role, but this show does. What I will say, is the case of the week format is stale by now, this show should be serialized with stakes. This show has naked casting, chemistry and character, what it needs is stakes, weight and a narrative that runs thru the seasons. Like any good buddy cop story, this show needs an antagonist, a character that threatens the characters livelihood with whom we have grown to… Read more »
Please renew the show. I think it’s a great show and I look forward to watching in every week. Even more so now that things are heating up with Riggs and the DEA agent. Then you throw in the wacky lawyer it only makes great episodes for a second season. Can’t wait to see what season 2 brings .
I love this show so much I never miss an episode the actors are perfect together and they just make the show amazing I can’t wait to see it get renewed for season 2! I really hope this show goes far and doesn’t end.
Lethal Weapon has become one of my all-time favorite shows! (I love it even more than NCIS.) The drama, matched with clean comedy, keeps the show interesting and light-hearted. Perfect combination for a show I always enjoy!
As we only have internet TV, I look forward to watching it on Hulu every week.
Bravo FOX!
Love it. Hope there are.many more seasons
wow, Episode 15 was really very good. I expected to hate this show based on the impossibility of duplicating the chemistry, but the second half has been way stronger than the first. I would love to see a Season 2 now that they have hit their stride it’s golden.
I love the show, but please don’t force this Riggs-Cahill, Riggs-Palmer thing… Way too soon. In one episode he’s standing on the ledge basically begging for help, then in the next episode full of sparks and romance? As much as I love this show, and I loved Thomas Lennon as Leo… I just don’t buy this part.
Great great show! Love that it has parallel characters but very different story lines. Cast works extremely well too. Hoping for many returns!
This show is absolutely awesome!!!!!! Its so well put together I love all the actors and actress they do such a great job and they fit so well in there rolls, as a big leathal wepon fan this show in my eyes has done the leathal wepon franchise proud, they have gone above and beyond needless to say I hope hope hope there’s going to be a season two in the future and thank you so much for the best entertainment on TV and all your hard work.
