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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

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 new series. The casting is absolutely spot on. I didn’t watch when the series started in the fall. I binge watched all nine episodes in the last day. I do have a few suggestions: reality insists Riggs slowly begin to look a little more polished, cleaner at least. The baby needs to appear more often in the Murtaugh home. Babies simply take up more storyline than you are portraying. The level of violence needs to be a little more subdued, just add a little more creative detective work. And finally, please don’t get cancelled because I like… Read more »

Love the show!! looking forward to season 2 !!
Excellent hooked after the trauma of episode 1 well done !! Good actor’s worked well together looking forward to season 2
Great show. I usually don’t go for these movie inspired shows, but I’m hooked on this and “The Exorcist”. To be honest, I don’t watch much network television, usually just sports. I’m more of a FX, Discovery Channel, History Channel, or TCM, fan. Hope these two shows make it.
I love this show. Even better than NCIS. Promote it and it should be a hit. Tender, exciting and funny!
They need to make it a little more intense but otherwise, I’m hooked. I love the show!!!
Love the tv show, worth a couple more seasons
Lethal Weapon is no doubt one of the best Series on air! I’very wanted a 2nd Season since a saw the 1st Episode. Absolutely loved it! Chemistry between Wayans and Crawford is Perfect! I really hope after picking up 5 more episodes they decide to pick up a 2nd Season!
