Season 4 Review: Despite the darkness, "Will Trent" remains one of television's funniest hours, anchored in the premiere by welcome bursts of levity involving desk-bound Ormewood and Det. Franklin, with newly promoted series regular Kevin Daniels once again proving what an asset he is to the ensemble. Read full review

Season 4 Review: Every character is at their best so far this season, and the show continues to spotlight the best character dynamics. It makes it easy to trust where Will Trent is going this season, and I cannot wait to see how it all plays out. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Will Trent remains a breezy and entertaining take on the classic procedural format. Thankfully, the writers have found a way to create a show that complements Slaughter’s novels but can easily stand on its own. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Will is an engaging character who elevates his occasionally overheated eponymous crime drama with wry humor and sensitivity. [16 - 29 Jan 2023, p.6]

Season 1 Review: “Will Trent” borrows plenty from the past (the Carpenters, for example) and dabbles in the present (the pronoun debate) before settling in a world so remote from Cabot Cove you couldn’t classify the series as similar. ... The series could erupt. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If Will Trent wants to cut through the noise of a crowded genre, it will need to reevaluate its storytelling approach and lean into the eccentricities of its promising protagonist. Read full review

I like Will Trent he is brilliant & writers/producers etc need to bring that out more. I like his crew too girlfriend needs to be a bit stronger, she appears weak. Better plotted crimes would help.

There is a lot of improvement that can be done with this series I do hope they can make the improvements that will make this a series that will go on for years-it has a lot of promise, let's see if the writers etc can do their jobs. I am looking forward to a season 2 with some improvements.

Love Betty, she should get an oscar … Expand

Started off promising, but then degenerated into boring cases and woke **** Everyone with any authority is black/hispanic, with some added LGBTQ representation.

No way Georgia Bureau of Investigation is staffed exclusively by people of color, and there's no way a cop can do his job without being able to read and write. Way too much character development to the point where the actual cases they work is an afterthought of ripped off plots from better shows. I don't expect much from network TV, but the first episode of this was not bad. Went downhill quickly.… Expand
