Would it be good if those crimes were a bit better plotted? Yes, but in the meantime, we’re happy just hanging with Will’s gang. Read full review

While the procedural part of Will Trent needs a lot of improvement, the characters are so well-established from the start that the first two episodes are entertaining and make us want to see more. Read full review

Ramón Rodríguez, playing the central detective, makes for a sympathetic and rootable figure. The challenge the show faces will be bringing the story up to his and his costars’ level. Read full review

Daniel Fienberg

Not always empirically good, but better than the bland title and awful opening sequence might lead you to suspect, ABC’s Will Trent quickly emerges as an above-average broadcast TV procedural — even if it’s exactly those structural trappings that so frequently undermine it. Read full 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

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Jan 12, 2023

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

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
