Duster

Cool clothes, music and acting, Josh Holloway is well cast as the lead. Great throwback to the 70's. It's a fun ride! Made me want to head out to the thrift store and get me some 70's shades and clothes and maybe even Cuban heel boots. First episode was just finding its pace, 2nd episode and now the third are spot on. It's a bit of a breath of fresh air, does not take itself too seriously and genuinely fun to watch. Even the opening title with the toy cars racing is cool. Be good to watch Holloway character expand more and see where this show takes him as he clearly wants to do the right thing, but loyalties remain.

The HBO/Max limited series Duster (2025) brings back memories from community college when we had access to the family's1972 yellow Plymouth Duster with the black vinyl roof. This was no jacked-up red cherry Duster roadster as depicted in this limited series, but a noteworthy vehicle nonetheless. Our Duster was more family car whose color indicated it just might be a lemon as well. Built by the Big Three during the Energy Crisis these cars were flawed automotive products, prone to oil leaks due mostly to cheap engine gaskets requiring frequent servicing. (The Motor City/UAW protecting their financial lifeblood.) In the 5-6 years we owned the car it once required a new engine when we ran out of oil on the Lodge Freeway and a new front end when we skidded off the snowy service drive at the college, severing 3 gaslights at their bases. Noteworthy, and with time & treatment, streaming in 2027✌🏾

So for you lost fans, most of you will have a favorable opinion of the character Sawyer by the end of the show. In season five, Sawyer has an opportunity to leave the island but return to US in the 1970s. If your head canon has ever considered what it would be like for him to have lived those years, well thank you too JJ Abrams we get to see this in Duster. So far, I've had a big smile on my face. It's fun and entertaining. I hope it continues this way.

Josh Holloway gives a good performance so far. He is definitely an underrated actor and this type of character always fits him well. I highly recommend that you give this a try and see if it's for you. I look forward to watching each week. I don't know if this is a single-season show, but I hope they're the second season if the story makes sense to have a continue.

I have to admit. I didn't really think it was going to be good but it was a lot of fun. On a personal level I had a Duster back in the late 70's, early 80's also ( though it was painted black with blue stripes and without the spoilers ). Sawyer ( Josh will always be Sawyer from Lost for my wife and I ) and the FBI chick are both entertaining in their respective roles though he needs to get rid of that awful hair. It's nice to see Keith as a bad guy which I haven't seen him play as since The Nice Guys. Some nice car action, retro look, future crime shenanigans and the entertaining cast make this an ( so far ) easy, fun watch but hey Sawyer/Josh do us a favor and get a haircut.

The 1 star reviews on here are completely over exaggerated and borderline nonsensical.

Yes this is a highly stylized take on 70s crime noir, but the solid acting, comedic timing, pacing, and suspense make it one worth watching.

It's kind of like a cross between an Elmore Leonard and a Carl Hiassen novel. The Arizona setting and desert locations almost act as a character on its own, adding extra pressure to the overall situations at hand.

I dont want to give anything away so Im being fairly vague, but after watching the second episode Im convinced this is worth the watch time. Great pacing, acting, suspense, setting, and soundtrack. I realize a lot of us have a natural aversion to JJ Abrams at this point, but this time he came through with a solid show.
