8 Reasons TV Shows Are Constantly Letting Us Down
Were you like me and found that a number of your favorite tv shows let you down this past year? Here are eight shows that made disappointed viewers in major ways.
Lethal Weapon
Lethal Weapon star Damon Wayans shares video of Clayne Crawford feud https://t.co/PI7BkjNcWh

Speaking of crime shows, I fell in love with Lethal Weapon. A show based on those “old” movies, it was one my fiancé never saw but she liked it too. But then the show ran into controversy.
Riggs, (Mr. Clayne Crawford) was let go. I guess he causes drama on set and that sucks! I am a total buddy cop type of guy and this show nailed it! You can’t just swap out one of the buddies! How will that ever work when they had such good chemistry??
There are typical buddy cop shows that include drama, a bunch of laughs and bad guys getting caught every week, so in that respect, Lethal Weapon wasn’t unique. What made this one good — a cut above others — was the actors. I’d have never heard of Clayne Crawford before, but he nails the part of Martin Riggs. I know costume and make-up help make him the dirty, fly by the seat of the pants cop Mel Gibson made famous, but Clayne nails the human aspect of that character. He plays a haunted man and he does so quite well.
Meanwhile, Damon Wayans, of course, nails the family man and comedy aspect of the show. It’s really what he does so that’s not surprising. I just wonder if I will be able to look at another actor as Riggs? On top of that with him shot in the end are they killing him off? Or slipping in a new actor hoping no one notices? So what I had hoped to be my new private addiction looks like it is going down the tubes too.

We are especially let down so much by Warner Brothers atm. Not renewing Clayne Crawford I feel is the worst. We as part of the UK 🇬🇧 Haven’t seen the rest of series 2 but know Riggs dies at the end. How appealing…. Makes me give up watching tbh. As Clayne apologised. WHY can’t they accept that and move on keeping him in the show… 🤔 Rumours state is because Warner Brothers and Damon don’t want him anymore. Jealousy from Damons nastiness I think as Clayne was more popular in the end. Warner Brothers have made a stupid mistake siding with the wrong person who deleted his twitter rant. Account now private as fans were so livid with him….
