Lethal Weapon (2016)

The 'Lethal Weapon' television series primarily focuses on its two lead detectives and their personal and professional lives. The show does not include any significant LGBTQ+ characters or storylines, resulting in no discernible portrayal to evaluate.

The series primarily focuses on the male protagonists' physical combat skills. While female characters like Detective Sonya Bailey and DEA Agent Karen Palmer are competent in their roles, their action sequences typically involve firearms, tactical operations, or supporting the male leads, rather than direct physical victories against male opponents.

The television series adapts the film franchise, retaining the established genders for its primary characters, Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh, as well as other significant roles like Trish Murtaugh. No canonical characters from the source material are portrayed with a different gender.
