'Lethal Weapon' season 3: How the Gute is bringing the Martin Riggs element back to the show

There is no denying it - Sonya Bailey's new partner Louie Gutierrez, aka The Gute, is former co-lead Martin Riggs in a woman's body.

Lethal Weapon's new third season is definitely shaking things up. First, it was a new co-lead in the form of Seann William Scott. Then, it was a major switch up with the subplots and now, there's an insane new character altogether on the show. The first two changes may have contributed to the new vibe the show is trying to exude, but the latest one is actually taking the nostalgic route. Detective Louie Gutierrez, aka The Gute, is former co-lead Martin Riggs in a woman's body.
