Texas police officer and ex-Navy SEAL Martin Riggs (Clayne Crawford) is devastated when his pregnant wife gets killed on the way to the hospital. Riggs becomes an unstable, suicidal drunk living in a trailer on the beach. He transfers to the LAPD and gets treated by department psychiatrist Dr. Maureen Cahill (Jordana Brewster). Roger Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) is returning to work after a heart attack and his former partner Captain Brooks Avery assigns Riggs as his new partner. Murtaugh lives the suburban life with his wife Trish and their three kids. Riggs is killed after two seasons and Murtaugh gets Wesley Cole (Seann William Scott) as his new partner. Ex-CIA operative Wesley is still haunted by his service.
The first two season is somewhat interesting. Clayne Crawford's instability matches up nicely with Mel Gibson. The regular public just didn't know how closely he matches up. After some harrowing behind the scene stories, Clayne gets fired and replaced with Seann William Scott. There is nothing wrong with Scott. He would have been a fine Riggs if he was chosen from the beginning. The stink of the backstage issues never clears and the show is canceled after its third season. Wayans is great. The Murtaugh family has a few good stories. None of the others are necessary. The show definitely doesn't need Brewster. The procedural stories are nothing to write home about. It's too bad that the show got sunk by the bad vibes.
