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.

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?
Renewed definitely!! I love the show.
Renew it!! Love this show!!
It’s ok. I do have it set to record only because there’s nothing else to watch during the time slot. I love Rogers character better than Riggs. I just think he’s a better actor. Riggs to me seems like he’s trying to harness Mel Gibson’s character to much. It’s not gonna happen. Someone said to cancel NCIS, someone needs to set that person straight. It can’t touch the regular shows. I guess if I had to choose between this or a reality show, I’d choose this.
Love this show and it’s cast. Matin and Roger are perfect. Love everything about Rigg’s!!! He’s awesome and his hair is fabulous! In fact my boyfriend is getting the style. I think the show is a hit! I loved “Homebodies”. This is the only show I look forward to watching! Keep it going!!!!
Really love this show. Cancel NCIS and keep this going instead.
Bite your tongue, cancel NCIS are you insane? Love Lethal Weapon so please renew it, but Riggs really does to dress better. Mel Gibson dressed pretty well, he acted nuts, but he was GQ.
Keep Lethal Weapon AND NCIS!!!! Love Lethal Weapon AND ALL NCIS’!!!!
Aside from the names and few nods tonthe movie here in there (episode 8’s “I’m detective Mur tawww”) like when danny glover interviewed the little boy outside Trixie house that blew up.in the movies… It’s a showy out can see without comparing. It’s hilarious and emotional. I find myself rooting for the team. Being a fan of Bullet proof. With wayans and Adam sandler, I was still worried about him in this role. But since it’s a stand alone lethal weapon (and could have been a different show name and different character names as far as I’m concerned it works… Read more »

Best show ever ! Renew
I tried so hard to like this show because I loved all the movies. But I just can’t do it. I love Wayans in his role but the other guy is no good. To watch somebody that far gone into depression and obsession with the past just brings me down too. OMG watch the movies, Riggs was never so constantly despondent. Oh and he needs a hairstyle redo more than anybody I’ve seen in 50+ years. Cancel this…it’s depressing.
Sorry but Clayne Crawford IS THE BEST Martin Riggs. This is 2017 and not the 80’s This is a reimagining of the show. His hair is cool as heck. I love the realness of his character, he may be a cop but damn his love got murdered, he doesnt know who or why, so of course the man is going to be depressed and lost. And the fact he does drugs only adds to the realness that EVEN COPS are human beings. Open your mind.
Oh, no. I’m totally disagree. I wasn’t interested this show because I loved the movies. But now I think it’s awesome. I love it! Especially because of Wayans and Crowford. They have a great chemistry on the screen and Crowford is perfect in this role. Sure Riggs is depressed (for now)… why he shouldn’t be. But there is a great balance between action, humour and emotions. I think it works. The story can’t be identical with the movie, but it’s similar enough. They adapted the whole “Lethal Weapon” feeling perfectly. To ask they to cancel isn’t a little too much?… Read more »
