Rachel Bellwoar reviews the first episode of Lethal Weapon season 1… The Lethal Weapon franchise (and action movies, overall) have never been known for their subtlety. Lethal Weapon, the TV show, seems to take that note one step further, by repeatedly pushing the same points throughout the course of its “Pilot.” Take cop and family man, Roger Murtaugh’s, recent heart […]
