Duster

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.

I am enjoying this series! I admit that I always enjoy stuff set in the 70s and 80s and they do a good job of recreating the period here.

Josh Holloway is always good value and, in my opinion, doesn't get enough leading roles. He's got a great screen presence. The supporting cast also do a great job. Special mention for Keith David, too.

The locations are good and it's great to see some great old cars in all their glory.

So ignore the artificial low scores here because they are just not justified. Give the show a chance and I reckon you'll enjoy it!

Let's hope the network gives it a fair chance, as I am fed up of investing time in new series only to see them dumped after one season.

Guess what? They've cancelled it, even with 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and every episode making the Top 10 ranked shows of the week. Absurd decision.

Really like the music, the cars, the clothes that is the icing on the cake. Run through all episodes at once and I want more now! Entertaining with a lot of nice lines and action, a lot of stories woven together, no dull moments.

I didn't know what to expect but this is for me filling a hole as it ain't much new that comes out with this perfect mix of the music I like, the atmosphere from a time period which is made perfectly together with today's action we are more use to, pedal to the metal. The only bad thing I can say is that it was over to fast, want more and I want it now, so more episodes per season thank you.

I've never written a review although I have wanted to on many series n movies. I recently finished the season and recently saw an article where they say they will not have a 2nd season. What troubles me is that a so-so, 5 star rated show will get multiple seasons, but shows that receive 7 stars n above do not get a chance at a 2nd season. There's not much not to like about this series, unless you just can't stand the underlying racial undertones on what this country thought about and as we are living in now, people of color and women. I found the storyline pretty good along with the artwork and period correctness stunning...I truly hope they can rethink and develop a second season.

All the characters, both major and minor, are interesting and have their moments across the eight episodes. The script writing keeps you engaged through the main plot along with the various subplots. If you came of age in the early 1970s, then alot of this will resonate with you one way or another. That said, youngsters should also check this out because of the quality writing and great filmography of the Southwest desert. Again, the storytelling is key here and keeps things moving pretty fast. Also, a special callout to the "retro" Vegas episode. It was cool to be reminded how Sin City once looked before major corporations overdeveloped the place. Finally, pay attention to the opening of each episode. The Hot Wheels cars ripping through the desert bring a smile to your face each time. AND: each subsequent intro has an Easter egg for the upcoming episode. So, make sure you do not skip the intros.
