While Duster isn’t reinventing the crime thriller wheel, its pitch-perfect homage to the 70s and shows like Starsky & Hutch and CHiPs makes for a tremendously enjoyable spark plug of a series. From the extensive needle drops (everyone from Tina Turner to Merle Haggard) to the impeccable fashion and vintage cars, the self-aware exploitation vibe of gun fights and car chases creates a fun sandbox in which Josh Holloway and Rachel Hilson charmingly thrive through their rugged and feisty performances, respectively. Granted, if the 70s-themed setting, with all its expertly done period details, doesn’t mean anything to you, maybe look elsewhere; however, I had a blast!

Never did I imagine that J.J. Abrams would again helm a straightforward show, especially not one dealing with law enforcement, but here we are with Duster. Given his involvement, I liken this to a melding of Alias with the fifth season of Lost, where they went back in time to the 1970s (especially with the length of Josh Holloway’s hair). I was a big fan of the Hot Wheels opening credits and the music queues of killer songs. I was happy with the cast in place, even if it didn’t always deliver, and there was enough mystery and intrigue to keep me guessing. Dust this off and give it a shot.
