Found Will Trent by accident as I was looking for something to watch outside of my regular shows that are on seasonal break. I was hooked after the first episode, and the next thing I knew, I was binged watching the first season all within 24 hours.
One of the main reasons I enjoy the show is the casting crew did a solid job in finding the good actors for their roles. I considered this cast consists of actors. Often times, TV actors aren't believable as for whatever reasons, their characters are overshadowed by the desire to look good, rather than to act well. This cast is about actors bringing their characters to the screen. Because of their acting skills, they got my attention. Next, the formula for the show is well-thought out. The storyline is not unrealistic and there is a sense of fairness in presenting subject matter. For example, not all law enforcement officers are bad, not every child experienced bad adults, not all addicts stay addicted, adulterers are held accountable for their action..... In my humble opinion, the world has changed from when I was younger, I used to watch TV shows with my parents and siblings.... Not everything is about sex or violence. This show resonates with me as it highlights humanity. Working on being better as individual and being present in whatever relationship each character is in. Another reason why I LOVE this show is it is not all drama, there is some humor. The witty exchanges. Thank you writers!!!!
I read other reviews for low mark due to various reasons but not limited to character depiction varied from the book series. I do understand the reviewers' sentiments. However, I am glad to see the TV Will as portrayed by Ramón Rodríguez. I think it is time TV showcases someone who is nerdy or weird, and carry quite a load in his mind, yet he can fight and didn't lose himself to the crappiness life has dealt him. I hope all the characters in this show continue to grow and bring forth growth and wisdom as they aged. Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts.
