Will Trent: Agente Especial

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.

The pilot episode was decent. As for just staring the will Trent series in the books I find it hard with adaptations. Will Trent should be 6 3 and large strong physical presence. The lead is good pick as I find he is mimicking the character well so far. As for Amanda the choice was perfect. When pictured in the novels I always saw a strong black female presence it is probably one of the best adaptations I have seen done. Now with faith that one is hard to see and deal with. The character is to me not appealing. This one I'm hoping it will improve but time will tell. If you read the books at first there is some hesitation towards this tv adaptation. If your just learning of this show it is appealing and something we have seen before but I have hopes it will lead to more.

Knowing Karin slaughter is the executive producer I'm sure she blessed all this current PC adaptations so I put my trust in her views as to where this will lead.

Can't wait for the next episode!!!

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.

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.

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.
