Will Trent: Agente Especial

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!

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.

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.

Finding a police procedural that offers something different from the usual is not easy. The I happened across Will Trent and watched the first couple of episodes and haven't stopped watching every week.

I haven't read the books, so know nothing about the character, other than what I have seen in the TV show.

I think Ramon Rodriguez plays the part pretty well and does show the social awkwardness the Slaughter character apparently suffered from in the books. That character interaction is good, too.

It well shot, too, for a network TV show

The storylines are interesting and the GBI is something different from cop shows set in NY or LA.

So I recommend this show to anyone looking for something a bit more quirky than the average police procedural.

At this point the show is cute I'm enjoying it. I have to remind myself that books are for book readers and TV shows are for those who watch... not necessarily the same

The main similarity between this and the books are the names of the characters. I'm only in the 1st episode and we're just getting to know all about everyone. It's a little confusing and sometimes hard to reconcile, What I see and what I already feel like I know about the characters. The author has already signed off on all of this so I will trust her judgment and keep watching. I look forward to seeing how these things turn out and the character development. .
