Duster

Fun fun fun. I feel like I'm watching Billy Jack, The Mod Squad and Foxy Brown in a threesome! It's a welcome mix and I'm so here for it. Casting is spot on. Josh looks at home behind the wheel of the Duster. Rachel Hilson is foxy, brown, beautiful, fierce, smart, driven...and taking no crap from the boys. So happy with Asivak Koostachin as Awan. He brings it. He's got me on his side right from the get go.

The musical score is fun and nostalgic. The look of the show is right. The fashion, the sets. They've done their work. Right from the first episode we get action, storyline, interesting characters and it doesn't slow down from there. It just picks up speed like that Duster! Episode two kills it, like for real. Bowling 🎳 will never be the same... Look, it's obvious there are haters giving ridiculous low ratings. Most know the "why's" of all that, so no explanation needed. For those of us not on board with the hate game... grab some popcorn, chips, or nopales tacos. A couple of beers or tequila, a good bourbon...sit back, have fun and enjoy the show! It's an awesome ride.

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.

Theres only been 1 episode so far & things are just starting to get interesting. The story & characterization are working towards setting something up for whats coming next. The episode itself is filled with interesting characters & motivations. Theres no bad acting or bad film making or anything like that. The first episode has been a good fun casual watch so far. And im really liking Josh (Sawyer from Lost). His character is filled with a fun attitude & while playing that attitude he also gets serious when situation demands him to be serious. Josh is really good in this character. He fits perfectly into the 80's style & has great potential. I would say the show itself has great potential. Can't wait to see more. Just hope more episodes will arrive soon & not take too long.

So let's start off with a question. Is this for everyone? The answer: probably not. In saying that it does have all the things you'd expect of a period piece that takes place in the 70's. Long hair, muscle car, afro. Cheap cinnamon chips! Ok the last one not necessarily the case. Mr. Holloway has his charms and the lovely young woman FBI agent is a trailblazer which seems stereotypical these days while Hollywood tries to convince us that there empowering women at the cost of losing historical accuracy in the process which is unfortunate to a degree. The relationships aren't fully fleshed out in the first episode. I'm still unsure who the little girl's mother is in relation to the main character. Ex, friend, family member? Who knows! If you enjoy a little action and drama with a backdrop of crime/70's. Then you can't go wrong with Duster.

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.
