Will Trent: Agente Especial

Being a fan of the Grant County and Will Trent books I was waiting for a long time for this series to be released ... and then the characters have very little in common with those in the book. Sarah Linton is, so far, completely missing. Some of the other characters have had a personality makeover

I found that so difficult, that it completely ruined the series for me on my first attempt at it.

1 year later, I gave it another go, and have found it to be an good series, with very skilled actors who do a fantastic job of bringing the show to life.

For me this is a good show, with stories which have some resemblence to Karin Slaughter's books, but it falls far short of the books and I'm not sure whether I'm happy or sad that it's been picked up for a 2nd Season.

If it had been called "Sam Spade", "Bert Avon" or anything else, I'd have been hooked and enjoying it immensely.

This is from the pilot only. I've never read any of the Karin Slaughter books, so I'm new to Will Trent. Screenwriters love conflict and Will Trent seems to be in conflict with almost everyone: his boss, cops in APD, the father of latest victim, his new partner and of course GBI taking over an APD crime scene. Good writing is knowing when to tone back the conflict. The steady banter is de rigueur in many cop shows, some of it's funny.

Will is a Sherlockian type character, he sees connections in events and crime scenes differently than most people. As Faith said, he read that crime scene like a book, which is why Will's boss dragged him there. Maybe his dyslexia and introverted personality help him in some way. The series hasn't figured out if it's a comedy or a drama, hopefully the two don't collide as we move through episodes. I liked the cast from Ramon Rodriguez to Betty. The animal shelter scene was very funny, Betty is a scene stealer. Others are Sonja Sohn, Danny Burstein, Mark-Paul Gosselaar...

I've enjoyed this series for two seasons and all of a sudden in Season 3 it's no longer about Will Trent, it's become the "Faith Mitchell" series. Faith Mitchell, Amanda Wagner, Angie Polaski, Michael Ormwood...they're all good characters, but I watch if for Will Trent. If the producers are going to spin off a "Faith Mitchell" series then I wish them success, but I'll stick with Will Trent.

Finding a police procedural that offers something different from the usual is not easy. The I happened across Will Trent and watched the first couple of episodes and haven't stopped watching every week.

I haven't read the books, so know nothing about the character, other than what I have seen in the TV show.

I think Ramon Rodriguez plays the part pretty well and does show the social awkwardness the Slaughter character apparently suffered from in the books. That character interaction is good, too.

It well shot, too, for a network TV show

The storylines are interesting and the GBI is something different from cop shows set in NY or LA.

So I recommend this show to anyone looking for something a bit more quirky than the average police procedural.

I cannot get enough of this show! I love the characters, the dialogue, the humor and I especially love that the characters are so beautifully, and interestingly flawed! All the feels when watching this, because you can identify with the characters on the show!

It's smart, funny, touching, and even suspenseful at brief moments. The music alone in certain scenes is its own character in the show.

There are very few TV shows that leave you wanting so much more. I hope it never loses it's momentum and that special something that continuously draws you in. Hate having to wait a week for the next episode, but I e realized that it is so worth it!

At this point the show is cute I'm enjoying it. I have to remind myself that books are for book readers and TV shows are for those who watch... not necessarily the same

The main similarity between this and the books are the names of the characters. I'm only in the 1st episode and we're just getting to know all about everyone. It's a little confusing and sometimes hard to reconcile, What I see and what I already feel like I know about the characters. The author has already signed off on all of this so I will trust her judgment and keep watching. I look forward to seeing how these things turn out and the character development. .
