action

The series is about the former US Navy SEALs soldier Martin Riggs, who suffers from a kind of burnout syndrome due to the fact that he recently lost his family . In order to start a new life, he moves from Texas to Los Angeles and starts working as a police officer for the Los Angeles Police Department . He gets a new partner named Roger Murtaugh, who is more than skeptical about his partner. Both have problems trusting the other, as both are very different personalities and approach certain situations differently. As both find themselves repeatedly in situations in their investigations in which their lives are in danger and depend on the help of the other, a kind of friendship and trust gradually develops.

After Martin Riggs was shot at the end of the second season, Murtaugh gets Wesley Cole as a new partner at the beginning of the third season.

occupation

The German-language dubbing was created under the dialogue direction by Oliver Schwiegershausen at the dubbing company Arena Synchron in Berlin .
