DRAMA
LETHAL WEAPON ITV, 9pm
The Shore Boys may sound like a delightful tribute act to The Beach Boys, but turns out they are actually a nasty gang of thug surfers.
One of the gang threatens a new surfer from out of town: “Go home or go to the hospital.” And sure enough, the newcomer soon washes up dead on the beach – with a blunt trauma to the head. The sight of which does not help Riggs (Clayne Crawford), who is having horrible nightmares that bear a striking resemblance to the scene.
Meanwhile, Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) is a bit suspicious of Trish’s new friend, who she’s working with on a charity event. His attitude changes though when he finds out it’s his sporting hero, basketball champ Scottie Pippen (who is guest starring as himself).
This is a bit grisly but there’s lots of action with plenty of comedy banter to prevent anything becoming too serious. Classic buddy cop drama.
