It is undeniable that the show will never be the same without Clayne Crawford as Riggs. Through the 2 seasons, Crawford successfully created his own version of Riggs and we loved it. And as we are repeatedly reminded in the first episode of season 3, we miss Riggs, but the show/life must go on.
When the news first came out that Crawford was taken out of the show due to his behaviours, etc. I was genuinely surprised and disappointed. Especially when Crawford publicly apologized but Fox still decided to let him go. Did Crawford really did something that was unforgivable? I don't know the details to comment on this and I do hope to see Crawford again in other shows or movies and wish him all the best.
Back to the show, and let's jump to conclusion. Is the show worth continue watching? Yes, it is. After watching the first episode of season 3, it reminded me that although the character of Riggs is irreplaceable, we shouldn't forget about all the chemistry that made this show enjoyable in the first place. The Murtaugh family, Avery, Bailey, Dr. Cahill, the action, the jokes, and the destruction everywhere even with the most trivial cases. Can Sean William Scott fill in for Crawford, maybe not. But I can foresee a new chemistry/partnership that can continue to make is show great in a different direction.
I think if you liked the show before, you should give it a try instead of giving it up just because a character is gone.
