Will Trent

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.

Will Trent continues to go deeper into its characters’ lives and psyches, transforming the show from an average crime procedural to one of the best character-driven dramas on any broadcast network.

Charming actors in well-written parts. A cleverly updated take on a tried-and-true formula. Attractive clothes and sets that help tell the story. It all adds up to a show that sings and will surely continue to delight audiences in its second season.

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.

“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.

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.

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.

This used to be a perfect series. At the end of last season to the new season it just is so bad and not interesting. Ramon's part has been cut so much and his stories are so dull. It seems to be focusing on Angie' having a baby (who cares) and the other stars personal lives. Boring!!!!! It was such a joy to watch every week, and him solving cases. Not anymore. BORING!!!!!!!

Love Will Trent and cast but really, there’s too much gay love situations. Totally unnecessary.

It was a good enough show prior to the current season. Now everybody seems to be a homosexual. It's crazy that Hollywood can't stop from spreading their depravity to those who only want a good mystery TV show. Our view is: "don't waste your time after season three (3)."

Ramón Rodríguez as Will Trent seems like a fine match for the purpose of the setup. But everything around him seems like secondhand acting. Seeing Sonja Sohn acting in this made my toes curl up, having seen her in The Wire, and how well she acted there, either she have lost her flair, or someone on the other side of the camera doesn't know how to direct. Looking at it, it seems most likely that both the story writers and the people with the direction and vision for this series, wanted to focus on personal agendas more than directing and writing a good story and let it play out. Wouldn't recommend, better series worth spending time on.

My wife and I really enjoyed this program until it tried like so many others to shove the LGBT agenda down our throat by including an explicit lesbian sex scene. It seems this agenda is constantly trying to normalize these sexual preferences. We don’t enjoy it and don’t want to watch it, so we won’t. Wish they wouldn’t have ruined it for us.
