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 have watched this only show every week without fail mostly because I love the chemistry between Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford. Replace him and you may as well cancel the show. Damon Wayans needs to realize that he is not the star of the show and even though Clayne is a pain, he is the show. Damon needs to quit bitching and realize if they replace Clayne with the new geek Seann Williams, the show is over and cancel it now and Damon can look for another job now but without this show his career is over and he… Read more »
Don’t cancel it, we love this show. Find someone new to take Clayne Crawford’s place
remember when Tarzan was changed. only Johnny Weissmuller could play that role. Clayne Crawford is the only one that can play the role of Riggs !! KEEP HIM !!
please dont cancel. love the show and love clayne crawford.
Cancel it, as Cayne Crawford will not be in it. He is the reason I watch the show.
My grandson who is 17 years old and I love this show. We especially like Clayne Crawford as Riggs. He plays the role so well I don’t believe any one else can play the role like he does. He can be funny when he needs to be and serious when he need to be. When you take a character off that has been on a program and replace them with someone else it never works. We get used to the one that was playing the part before and the new one can never act like the 1st one did. Please… Read more »
I love Lethal Weapon and if Riggs is not coming back, I will not watch the show anymore if it is renewed.
I like the Leathal Weapon tv show. Tom
The main person on this show is Clayne Crawford. It will not be the same without him. I just watch the last episode and I think it was really mean to do what you did at the end. It was great him moving to Texas but to do what you did was mean spirited. I will not watch another series. You don’t have Crawford and you did what you did. Very very sad ending.
I’m not sure that I’ll be watching Lethal Weapon without Clayne Crawford. He owned his character. There are always at least 2 sides to what happens in given situations – lots of egos/emotions/etc. It’s too bad things couldn’t be worked out.
One of the best shows. Renew
I think the show definite needs to be renewed but I think they should work it out with Clayne because the duo of those two, Mudock and Riggs, is what makes the show great. Changing characters will make the ratings go way down. It’s happened to other shows that changed characters. Please give Clayne a second chance please.
I would like to see it renewed but only with Clayne as riggs!!!!
I Would Like The Show To Continue Great Entertainment
I would like to see season three I look forward in watching this show every Tuesday
If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Love the show just the way it is. Changing characters changes the show.
