Lethal Weapon

This show will not work with out Wayans and Crawford 's on screen chemistry. I will sorely be disappointed if they don't both return for a Season 3. This show has been an amazing fresh story line from an over saturated good guy vs bad guy line up. I won't be interested in watching if Crawford doesn't return, he makes the whole show.

Clayne Crawford is the reason I started watching this show. He makes it great his behavior his attitude is the only thing that kept me watching this show. Please we want our Riggs back!

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.

Boy did i have doubts about this. The trailers certainly made me more optimistic, but I still put off watching the first episode when it came out because i really didn't know what to expect.

Of course its over the top (it is lethal weapon after all) but here's the thing... Right now i'm looking forward to this show every week more than any other. They've completely nailed the casting and characters of Riggs and Murtaugh, from Murtaugh's protectiveness of his family to Riggs's crazy outward charm, thinly veiling a near suicidal depression. More than that though, they've managed to recreate the bromance that made the originals so memorable. That is truly where this show excels, at being a damn good buddy cop story.

So here's my suggestion. Don't expect anything, don't pre-judge it, just watch the first few episodes. If you still don't like it then fine, but i'm betting that if you liked the originals, then you will.

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.
