I was a big fan of the movies back in the day, but definitely wouldn't rewatch them, both because I've lost my taste for macho dudebro action plots/characters, and because Mel Gibson.
Car chases and gunfights are things that just don't do it for me anymore I wasn't going to bother with this - put it on for my housemate and then found myself sucked in by the chemistry between the characters and because I am a sucker for found family.
Damon Wayans is always good value but I wasn't expecting to enjoy Riggs, another same old same old white dude, but in fact I'm enjoying him, despite the moustache and ridiculous hair. No, seriously, he's constantly having to run his fingers through his hair to pull the curls back into place which strikes me as slightly incongruous - he's suicidal with grief but with carefully trimmed and styled hair (maybe it's supposed to look disordered).
Yay for the Murtaughs constantly inviting Martin into their home and taking care of him. Trish is awesome.
BABY! I knew I was sold on this show when Roger gave Martin his adorable baby to hold and wandered off.
Here's the promo for completion - full disclosure I haven't bothered to watch it as I'm already three eps in.
