In their second outing together, Riggs (Clayne Crawford) and Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) continued to feel one another out instead of jumping straight into the good-natured buddy cop shenanigans most people expect when they hear the name Lethal Weapon. With "Surf N Turf" the show attempted to balance the prerequisite action with character by driving home the overwhelming pain that threatens to drown Riggs at any time by putting the life of a newly expectant mother on the line. The man hiding in the bathroom trying to avoid his psychiatrist and thus his pain -- as frustrating as he is -- is the man who makes Lethal Weapon even remotely engaging and will continue to make it engaging as the weeks wear on. To put it another way, the action that happens as a result of the mask Riggs wears as he is chasing down crooked ATF agents attempting to sell military grade weapons or the man currently costing the city of Los Angeles a lot of money that could go to putting in left-turn signals -- you know, something that is desperately needed -- is only interesting because of what it's hiding underneath.
