TV show description:
This action drama series reimagines the movie franchise and follows a cop duo as they work a crime-ridden beat in modern-day 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” at the LAPD.
He’s paired up with Roger Murtaugh (Damon Wayans). He’s just coming back to the job after a near-fatal heart attack. Riggs’ penchant for diving headfirst into the line of fire immediately clashes with Murtaugh’s prudent, by-the-book technique.
When Captain Brooks Avery (Kevin Rahm) assigns them to their first case together, Riggs drags Murtaugh into a high-speed chase culminating inside the Long Beach Grand Prix and a seaport shootout with drug dealers. Despite his protests, the older cop feels more alive than he has in years.
Meanwhile, Riggs gets a glimpse of why Murtaugh is so determined to get home safely at the end of each day — he’s got a wife, Trish (Keesha Sharp), teenagers Roger Junior (Dante Brown) and Riana (Chandler Kinney), and a newborn baby.
Riggs’ life-on-the-edge attitude makes him a priority case for the department’s psychologist, Doctor Maureen “Mo” Cahill (Jordana Brewster).
Rounding out the precinct is Scorsese (Johnathan Fernandez), a pathologist with the LAPD who got his nickname after a stint in film school (which no one will let him forget).
By the time their first investigation ends, Riggs realizes he may have found something worth living for — a partner and friend, Murtaugh. And even Murtaugh figures this arrangement might just work out after all. If only Riggs doesn’t get them killed first.
Episode #55, “The Spy Who Loved Me”
When Cole is investigated by the FBI, Murtaugh is forced to question his loyalty to his own partner. Meanwhile, Cole works a case that puts Natalie’s fiancé, Andrew, into the crosshairs right before their wedding day.
First aired: February 26, 2019
What do you think? Do you like the Lethal Weapon TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for season four on FOX?
The best show on……I miss the first guy the most……Clayne Crawford…..he made it awesome its a shame that they couldn’t make it work…..you take off all the great shows…now DEPUTY…911…they’re no good shows to watch anymore…stupid shows like the…talent contest don’t interest me……
I liked the show even with the replacement of one of the lead actor. It was even better with the replacement
I loved that show! Yea, I read all about getting rid of the trouble maker. BUT, it surprised the heck-out-of-me, when they brought in “Stiffler!” And, he Was Great! He was just as crazy, but now with a “Good Dad” quality. I’ll sure miss this.
Why would Fox cancel this good show? BRING IT BACK! We miss it here in our home.
Please bring the boys back. This was a good show, good humor , drama and action.
please bring it back my wife and I loved it we are going stop watching fox
The show improved when you brought in Stiffler
Please bring it back
Thanks
Please, please, please bring it back!
Please bring this show back to us. It was one of the best shows out there. It is amazing to me how the networks get rid of the good shows and keep all the crap and reality which has no entertainment value. Please bring this show back.
Please bring this show back it was a great show!! I think with the new lead man coming in has made it a awesome show! They make great partners and it’s funny, exciting, and a great spinoff of the movie!! It was my favorite show!!
Bring this show back now it was great and entertaining like Magnum and Macyver loved it why do networks keep taking away all the good shows and all we are left with is reality crap
Bring Lethal Weapon back. Too much garbage on air these days. Really enjoyed this show.
I agree. There is TOO much garbage on air today….I hope you can read between the lines and get my drift.
I loved watching this show. They always cancel the good stuff and leave the lame reality TV shows on. Really haven’t we seen enough.
I liked this show a lot and would have continued to watch it.
