The central investigation takes some wild turns, ending up in a place that feels both unexpected and natural for these characters while setting up a Season 2 that's even bigger in scope, drama, and action. That said, the best part of watching Duster, by far, is simply letting it take you along for the ride.
The affection that Abrams and Morgan have for this stuff is palpable, and the style they and collaborators like director Steph Green bring to it skillfully executed. The familiarity becomes a feature rather than a bug.

I wanted to like this one , even though I decided to end my hbo sub somewhere in the fall because of the endless stream of woke stuff. I like the cars , the lost dude, the setting , Keith David, cool dude. But the paws of jar jar Abrams are very obviously on this one. If Druckmann is the new kid on the woke block , then JJ is one the godfathers with Kathleen K. My fear is that around 2040 people will be looking at fbi stations in 1970 filled with anyone but the white guys actually working there back then , and after that we get World War I trenches in Belgium with modern army diversity, etc. History is being rewritten more and more if we are not careful with the JJs and Kathleen's in Hollywood.

“Duster” is a mostly straightforward crime thriller, even if it frustratingly veers into conspiracy territory in its later episodes.

FULL REVIEW
These eight episodes don’t have much substance or meaning but Duster is like an R-rated Hot Wheels series and an entertaining star vehicle, so to speak, for Josh Holloway, Rachel Hilson and especially Keith David.
What begins as a thrilling journey of an FBI agent determined to make a name for herself becomes an uneven adventure that can’t quite stay the course.
It wants to be more — more mysterious, more complicated, more feminist, more inclusive — and those impulses move Duster further and further away from any lizard-brain entertainment value it may have had. The imbalance of those component parts results in Duster feeling like one long prequel to the story Morgan and Abrams want to eventually tell.
Total crap. Lame acting, no humor, boring storyline. I can't believe some people sitting around a table discussed this idea for a show and thought 'yeah this is going to work'. Just more garbage, and of course we see the same predictable stereotypes. Someone needs to tell Hollywood it's time to turn the page. DEI is so tiresome.
