Will Trent (TV Series) Unable to Locate (2023) User Reviews

Good show.

I'm watching Will Trent from a suggestion from my sis-in-law. I NEVER watch regular channel shows anymore because I find the production values don't live up to my expectations. However, I like this show. It's not "too" sappy, it's not "too" violent, and it's not "too" sexy. The script has a little too much exposition, but that's forgivable.

I also like the two main characters very much. This episode had a good backstory for Will and Angie, and the actors portraying them as younger were PERFECT and completely believable. Voice, mannerisms, etc. Wow!

All in all, Will Trent is a better than average regular channel show.

Great episode except for the sneaker case

I loved this episode providing us with more character relationship background between Will and Angie. We found out Will is short for Wilbur and not William. We watched Betty put in her best performance of the season so far and we learned more about Will and Angie's past together.

What I didn't appreciate was the sneaker crime. When Angie noticed the first suspect brought in wasn't wearing a Bobo type shoe but a high-end hard-to-find Nike shoe, why did they have the guy wearing a pair of Puma Black Fives? I know Nike and Puma have a relationship but I hate when shows don't pay enough attention to the details when making it a part of the show. I see this all the time in shows revolved around a sport. In this case it was shoes. Will did wear a pair of Nike in episode 2 so they have already established a relationship with Nike so why not have the guy wearing Nike? That scene made the writers look bad in my mind.

written and produced by bad amateurs

I tried. I love a good mystery show, but this is not that.

The writers have zero knowledge of police work and rely on bad info about tasers. For example, if someone is pointing a weapon at your partner, don't taze them - they just tense and fire and you killed your partner. It really is that poorly done.

If you point your gun at someone, make sure your partner isn't behind them. If you fire, your gun, you're just as likely to hit your partner with a slight miss or if the bullet goes through.

Yes, this show really misses common sense points like this.

Oh, and if you're almost killed by a bunch of fantasy white supremacists and you have no way of reporting them, get away, don't ride along because poor writing is the only way you'll be saved when you jump out and threaten them.

This show is ridiculous on so many levels. And so much focus on damaged people who aren't getting mental help while in positions of trust that demand competence... Again, they focus on the pain instead of the fixing or healing.

And that doesn't even touch on the head of their unit and how poor the acting is, all the anger and inappropriate comments she makes indicating her bias. She'd be dealing with HR on a daily basis with that kind of attitude.

I tried, but this show is a hot mess fantasy. Unenjoyable. Depressing. And ignorant of how these matters work in reality.
