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?
I would like to see the show continue as it was so well done and it made my husband laugh soooo much. Perhaps bring in another partner. I would hate to see the show end I think there is enough still there to bring in a new partner
I will not be watching what was my favorite show since Cost me Crawford will not be in it. It will not be the same show without him
With out Clayne Crawford, the show is dead . Anything done on or off the air adds to the show and only reinforces his charactor as the way he is . He cannot be replaced .
To replace riggs will be like taking kirk away from the enterprize
The chemistry between Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans is undeniable. Without BOTH these fine actors, there is no show and it would be a mistake to re-cast Riggs. I notice many actors are coming to Mr. Crawford’s defense, which says a lot. Bring back Lethal Weapon with original cast intact!
I love the show (I am 78 years old) and Crawford and Wayons (sp) must be in it – the finale made it seem the show is over or that Riggs is over. The show needs him.
THINK CAREFULLY about who made the mistakes that are being attributed to Crawford. If sources are correct, a new director was in control on the episode Crawford complained was unsafe and he directing episode when someone was struck during taping. GET AN REAL ACTION DIRECTOR, ACCEPT CRAWFORD’s APOLOPGY, AND PUT HIM UNDER CONTRACT FOR SEASON 3. The cast chemistry and writing are excellent. Losing Crawford is fatal error. Without him you should just cancel show. You will lose the fan base…, me included.
Love this show but if Clayne Crawford is fired I won’t be watching!!!! The show won t be worth watching it he’s not on it! Get smart, and figure out how you keep him on the show! All of my friends who watch all day the same thing!!
This is one of my top shows, please do not cancel this show. Clayne Crawford is my favorite character. He can portray any emotion convincingly.
Clayne crawford and Damien Waynes are the show. No Crawford, won’t watch. Seems like Crawford did alot already to make up for bad behavior. Not worth canceling a good show for.
RENEW you cant recast Clayne Crawford the show will flop if you do . make Him agree to behave
Clayne Crawford is the show. It will be not worth watching without him. Fox better scramble to get him back!
WE won’t be watching it with out Clayne Crowford , the show will fail without him.
I don’t see myself watching it without Clayne Crawford,
this show will fail without clayne Crawford.
