Lethal Weapon which is one of the biggest and most thrilling action filled franchise is back with a Tv series which will make sure that every single episode will going to let you go insane over and left you waiting for the next one. After joining the police force he got to beocme the partner up with Murtaugh who is just returning to the force after a very delicate heart surgery. 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 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 – and despite his protests, the older cop feels more alive than he has in years. (Dante Brown) and Riana (Chandler Kinney) and a newborn baby. Could Lethal Weapon fall into the “so insane it just might work” category? So instead, he places himself – and Murtagh, who chafes at first but eventually comes around – in several death-likely situations, such as a high speed auto chase that crosses the path of a grand prix race and another hostage situation in which Riggs is headed for the angels until a quick-thinking Murtagh shoots his partner in the foot, making it possible for him to drop and grab a rifle, offing the bad guy and saving a 12-year-old kid in peril.
