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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
