Duster

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.

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.

This show is so easy to enjoy. The simple narrative, with all the cliches and the incredible 70's vibe really makes it a great show. You will not find any mindblowing plot or any innovative feature in this show, but it is the simplicity that is captivating.. it feels like back when there was no stream services, the family together in the couch watching TV.. dont even know how to elaborate it, but the thing is that was really enjoyable to watch. It feels very light, differently from many TV shows now a days, that are overflowing with lore, complex story line or twists that you have to keep up with.. Basically in this show, you can just power down your brain and just enjoy it.

I'm here to ask the big cheese's of cheese's to pls pls pls make a season 2!!!

Come on...we don't watch things on release dates anymore that doesn't mean this isn't quality. It didn't need cancelling it needed marketing 😭

First of all when i was 10mins into EP1 and seeing all the eye candy i immediately assumed this was going to be a soulless series... How wrong i was. The leading characters are all sooo good and each played so well. Hell i believed that i had seen the actor for Saxon back in some old 70's cop series ... fact checked this and i haven't but he made me believe i had.

I love the fresh acting leads too and the story is solid.

The cinematics are nostalgic which brings a softness to this crime drama series

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.
