'Lethal Weapon' season 3 episode 13 review: A promising start that loses steam by the end

From the loosely written story to the lack of great action in the episode, this week's adventure felt more like a filler than a story progression.
UPDATED FEB 13, 2019

After a long wait, 'Lethal Weapon' finally came back with a new episode this Tuesday. However, it doesn't really feel like it's worth the wait. From the loosely written story to the lack of great action in the episode, this week's adventure felt like a filler than a story progression. Compared to the last couple of episodes especially, episode 13 was like a snooze fest. Even though procedural dramas are pretty predictable as they recycle the same main plot over and over again, they are bearable and even wonderful to watch sometimes, if done well. However, this week's episode just fell flat in every category.

A sad disappointment after a smashing episode 12, LAPD's finest return with a case that takes them to the Mexican border. Cole and Murtaugh investigate a case involving a father-daughter duo who are refugees from Mexico. Something goes horribly wrong when they are crossing the border and the detectives take it upon themselves to figure out what happened. They end up uncovering a major issue with the California Border Patrol.
