Lethal Weapon

This series really surprised me. It has been a long time since I looked forward to watching a show as much as this one every week. It reminds me of many good 80s cop or detective shows. No one has been able to equal the buddy cop or detective show formula of the 80s until now. Very well done indeed.

The show was fun until he was let go. Damon was never that interesting of an actor. Clayton held it together, he was charismatic and his character had so many layers. This show is now unwatchable.

I actually enjoyed Lethal Weapon more than I thought I would. Like most comments here have already pointed out...the show was better with Clayne Crawford. I still liked it with Seann William Scott, just not as much. I read it was Damon Wayans who was a diva and a big reason why Crawford left the show. That's too bad if true. It's based off the movies but other than having the same name there aren't too many similarities. The good thing about this show is it doesn't try to be something it's not, some shows try to get to cute and end up ruining the show because of it. Lethal Weapon knows exactly what it is and that's an action show with plenty of comedy involved. Crawford was the big standout here and I look forward to seeing him in future shows.

Lethal Weapon really was a fun show that's definitely worth watching. It's obviously a reboot based of the movie franchise but set in the modern day. It was a lot better with Clayne Crawford but was still pretty good when Seann William Scott took his place. It has everything you would want from a show called Lethal Weapon...plenty of action, comedy, drama, twists, etc. It's a show that doesn't try to be anything it's not, it knows what kind of show it is and leans in to it. If you're looking for an action packed show with buddy comedy then you won't be disappointed in this. You'll be hooked before you know it.

It will be the end of this show. Clayne Crawford is a better, deeper Riggs than Mel Gibson ever was, and I LOVE those movies! But this Riggs is deeper and more nuanced. Maybe because there are more hours available to develop him. Firing Crawford will be the end of this show. They are apparently not replacing Crawford with someone else to play Riggs, so at least there is that. But it will be a different show. And not nearly as good. I'm sorry but Damon Wayans and his family is not enough to carry the show forward.
