In a week that has seen the MacGyver remake pilot become available as well as the tv spin off of 'The Exorcist'..here comes another spin off / tv adaptation etc..by way of Lethal Weapon - The Tv Series. Yep, no joke, its a real thing. The show keeps the primary charactes from the films, this time with Damon Wayans playing Murtagugh and Clayne Crawford playing Riggs. With McG on directing duties, certainly for the first episode atleast, sacralidge, blasphemy, trainwreck i hear you cry. Have gotta say though, i watched the 1st episode last night and you know what..its not actually half bad. With Shane Blabk on writing duties (he was on writing duties for the first film), an opening episode that borrows very heavilly from the first film (but it works). While Wayans has got some work to do as far as Murtaugh goes, Clayne Crawford is very good as Murtaugh. Perhaps a tiny bit more grounded than Mel's take from the movies but he still does an excellent job. Good chemistry, plenty of action..that first 45 minutes just flew by. Definatly wortha look (just hope things dont go south after the opener).
