The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanSep 21, 2016
Season 1 Review: Lethal Weapon is ridiculous and predictable, a super familiar story with new leads reminding you of old leads, and modern personalities that are really dated personalities. It's a copy of copy of a copy and praying for something fresh out of that is, well, pretty ridiculous. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This Lethal Weapon feels like a regurgitation of not just the film, but of several decades’ worth of cop-show formulas. Even its chase scenes are bit tiresome, and fail to set themselves apart from the thousands that play out on large and small screens every year. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Lethal Weapon is a near-catastrophic failure. It’s the kind of overbearingly self-serious, sheepishly crass retelling of a story that no one needed to be repeated that we’ve come to expect from similar movie-to-TV adaptations. Read full review
