L'Arme fatale

I agree with all other comments. Clayne Crawford makes the show. He is even a better Riggs than Mel Gibson. I will not be watching Lethal Weapon if Clayne is not brought back.

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.

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.

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.

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.
