'Lethal Weapon' season 3 premiere review: Seann William Scott as the new cop in town is as good as it gets

Season 3 of Lethal Weapon is here and it is better than ever - it was sad to see Clayne Crawford go, but there's definitely no need to cry about it anymore
PUBLISHED SEP 26, 2018

Get over Martin Riggs guys, there's a new cop in town.

'Lethal Weapon' went out with a bang last season both on-screen and in real life. One of the leads, actor Clayne Crawford was thrown out reportedly after violent outbursts. The Twitter war got really ugly and Damon Wayans, who accused him of injuring him even went to the lengths of posting pictures and sound bites. Clayne was replaced with Seann William Scott soon after and not everyone rejoiced at the news. Fans took sides, even actors joined the mess but there was one thing that was really hurting, thanks to this feud - the show, of course. While Fox was determined to bring back the show (it is one of their most watched), fans said they wouldn't want to watch it anymore. There was a season 3 being made anyway and now that it's here, let us just tell you this - it is better than ever!
