Yeah. Just glad they didn't have him wake up from his injuries to be played by a different actor. Although Lethal Weapon without Riggs is strange.

Its Stiffler from American Pie ?!?

Not a fan of the new "Riggs-less" show TBH. I like Seann but I don't think the series will be as effective without Clayne, it feels less "real" now, like it's lacking an emotional spark.
As a side note Clayne did a Podcast last month on Youtube speaking about his firing and a lot of the "behind the scenes" stuff that was going on. I mean it's only his side but he comes across as very open in the podcast, talking about lots of things which I didn't think he would do.

Wayans has also announced he's quitting because he's just too old for this ****!

“I’m going to be quitting the show in December after we finish the initial 13,” Wayans said in a video interview. “So I really don’t know what they’re planning, but that’s what I’m planning. I’m a 58-year-old diabetic and I’m working 16-hour days.”
Asked by his off-camera interviewer, “So you’re over it?” Wayans replied — referencing his character from the series, “I’m done. Like Murtaugh said, I’m too old for this.”

Anyone heard this audio? Surprised it never came to blows.

And excerpts of a podcast about Crawford talking about what was going on behind the scenes.

The full podcast is over a hour long and has lots of swearing but, as I mentioned above, Clayne comes across very well (although it is only his side of events) but I'd go with Clayne's side based on other Damon Wayans "attitude on set" things I'd read.
Here is the Yotube Vid of the Podcast - be aware that there is swearing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u908kIaj12U

I didn't particularly care about this show as I gave up after about 4 episodes, but I found myself quite interested by that podcast and have listened all the way through (although I'm now thinking to give up around the 1 hour mark). He does seem a reasonably balanced person, talking sense, but as you say, it's just one side given by an interviewer who is one of his mates.

I'm not minding it without Riggs. Seann Scott is doing a good job.
My only criticism is that there is way too much family orientated nonsense now. The police side of the show seems to be thrown in as an afterthought.
