Will Trent

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. .

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.

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!

I've generally given up on network TV shows due to their mostly low rent writing and production values. I assumed Will Trent would be a typical cop procedural, since I'm not familiar with the books. What I found was a show that is quirky, humorous, with decent action and generally well written screenplay, with a cast of very likable actors and characters. The show creators have some good pedigree, as well.

The two part premiere was excellent. The pilot episode was a little chaotic but only very briefly, as anyone would expect from a new show. By the second, it felt smooth and the pacing is great. Erika Christensen, whom I haven't seen on screen in a long time, is surprisingly good here. And maybe Sonja Sohn reminds me of The Wire, but she's like an old shoe that fits well on a cop show like this.

Only time will tell if they can keep it interesting and stay with the source material, but this has been entertaining so far.

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.
