Will Trent: Agente Especial

Great show. Most of the actors look nothing like the characters from the books, but their performances make this irrelevant. The chemistry is near-perfect and there are moments that happen that aren't in the books that add to the overall legend that are the Karin Slaughter world.

Sonja Sohn stands out for me. Her performance is like she jumped straight from the pages of the books.

Ramon Rodriguez is far shorter than Will is in the book but like Tom Cruise in the first Jack Reacher movie, he brings the character to life.

This is live action fan fiction, like all books to film, and it's worth the watch.

Definitely recommend the show, but I highly recommend Karin's books. Start with the Grant County series, then the Will Trent and then devour her standalone novels.

There's a reason she's in my top 5 author list.

I saw this new series advertise on ABC as one of its new series and immediately wanted to check it out. I just get a feeling when I see a new series...like I did when the series Castle came out. Thank God it's steaming on Hulu because I work all day Tuesday when it comes on. I like all the characters in the show, I like that the lead character has a learning disorder and does his job better than anyone else in spite of it. His partner obviously hates him for the investigation of her mother that ended her career but is forced to work with him at the request of her captain. His on and off again relationship with his female homicide officer he grew up with in foster care is interesting and to sum up, the whole thing here just works. I see this series going for a long time and I'm grateful to the people who brought this to life on ABC. Peace.

This is from the pilot only. I've never read any of the Karin Slaughter books, so I'm new to Will Trent. Screenwriters love conflict and Will Trent seems to be in conflict with almost everyone: his boss, cops in APD, the father of latest victim, his new partner and of course GBI taking over an APD crime scene. Good writing is knowing when to tone back the conflict. The steady banter is de rigueur in many cop shows, some of it's funny.

Will is a Sherlockian type character, he sees connections in events and crime scenes differently than most people. As Faith said, he read that crime scene like a book, which is why Will's boss dragged him there. Maybe his dyslexia and introverted personality help him in some way. The series hasn't figured out if it's a comedy or a drama, hopefully the two don't collide as we move through episodes. I liked the cast from Ramon Rodriguez to Betty. The animal shelter scene was very funny, Betty is a scene stealer. Others are Sonja Sohn, Danny Burstein, Mark-Paul Gosselaar...

I've enjoyed this series for two seasons and all of a sudden in Season 3 it's no longer about Will Trent, it's become the "Faith Mitchell" series. Faith Mitchell, Amanda Wagner, Angie Polaski, Michael Ormwood...they're all good characters, but I watch if for Will Trent. If the producers are going to spin off a "Faith Mitchell" series then I wish them success, but I'll stick with Will Trent.

I didn't read the books so I don't have any expectations. I never watch shows on network television EVER but I like the main actor and I just thought I'd try it. I'm usually bored in 15 minutes. I have to say it's a fresh take on a typical show subject. I think the casting was well done. I like the main characters and I really think the back story ads so much. I love the dog interaction and I actually like that it's clean but not unrealistically so. I'm usually watching some like DEXTER, so again I'm surprised. The writing is pretty good including the script. There is a wit to it that is well delivered by the cast. I'm on episode three so let's hope it keeps my interest. P.s. I love the dog side kick.

I cannot get enough of this show! I love the characters, the dialogue, the humor and I especially love that the characters are so beautifully, and interestingly flawed! All the feels when watching this, because you can identify with the characters on the show!

It's smart, funny, touching, and even suspenseful at brief moments. The music alone in certain scenes is its own character in the show.

There are very few TV shows that leave you wanting so much more. I hope it never loses it's momentum and that special something that continuously draws you in. Hate having to wait a week for the next episode, but I e realized that it is so worth it!
