Will Trent

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!

I've generally given up on network TV shows due to their mostly low rent writing and production values. I assumed Will Trent would be a typical cop procedural, since I'm not familiar with the books. What I found was a show that is quirky, humorous, with decent action and generally well written screenplay, with a cast of very likable actors and characters. The show creators have some good pedigree, as well.

The two part premiere was excellent. The pilot episode was a little chaotic but only very briefly, as anyone would expect from a new show. By the second, it felt smooth and the pacing is great. Erika Christensen, whom I haven't seen on screen in a long time, is surprisingly good here. And maybe Sonja Sohn reminds me of The Wire, but she's like an old shoe that fits well on a cop show like this.

Only time will tell if they can keep it interesting and stay with the source material, but this has been entertaining so far.

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. .

Will Trent (Ramon Rodriguez) is an investigator for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. He is called in on difficult or high-profile cases. Often he has to work with the Atlanta Police Department, but few of his associates like him. One reason is he's an odd duck, different from other people. And his social skills are suspect.

Still, he has a few friends. Like Betty, the homeless dog he took in. And undercover agent Angie (Erika Christensen), with whom he shares a dark history.

The tone of this drama is often noir-ish, but it never gets too dark. And the incidental music helps with its stylish atmosphere.

Trent is dyslexic, but he can read a crime scene like no one else. He carries scars and demons as a result of his checkered history, but he copes. When he is assigned a partner, Faith (Ianatha Richardson) of the APD, they have to learn to cooperate and overcome their personality differences.

This police procedural is very engaging, because of both the acting and the storylines. All of the main players are fun to watch. The writing can be fast-moving, but the stories are never dull. I am hoping the series can keep its edge while simultaneously developing the main characters.

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.
