important disclaimer note that when i say "lethal weapon is absolutely batshit", i do not mean that it is Fun. i do not mean that it is Fun-Bad. i mean that it is a harrowing exploration of grief and depression and trauma shoved bodily into an elevator with a poorly-written sitcom-flavoured acab procedural, with all of the care and delicacy you might expect of this

like. listen to me. hi. one lead is begging for someone to kill him immediately after being tortured and the other is, over goofy music, freaking out because his wife shouldn't be allowed to interact with men at her workplace hahahhhaHHAHHHahhahahaha pop music over drone footage of LA. these issues hold equal narrative weight, and the other characters interact with & care more about the second one

it's not "haha what a weird show" it's "oh this media is fucking Terrifyingly Structurally Unsound and i am compelled and also Screaming" like WE HAVE FUN HERE but this is. not a good show not a recommendable show, often not even a Fun show, not even a KIND show by any stretch of the imagination, please know this and approach it accordingly

#this is about wolves' ask PLEASE don't think this is a fun chill haha goofy goof experience #like. this is not the one. this is not the show to get high and watch 4 fun and a good funny compelling fun time #well. okay #full disclosure the first time i watched this show i'd had approximately 3.5 hours sleep over the previous two days #was on a very unrecommendable combination of 5 hr energy + toradol + lexapro + baby weed vape for babies #was eating gelato out of the tub for breakfast #and found it MUCH funnier and more entertaining when i binged it then. HhhhHhhhhowever. the parts that were upsetting were much much much #MUCH much worse #the problems with the show do not add to the experience. they just make it cruel :'^)#suicide cw #lethal weapon trainwreck
