J.J. Abrams' new TV series, 'Duster', skillfully blends a stylish retro vibe with a compelling storyline. It follows Jim Ellis, a getaway driver for crime boss Ezra Saxton, who gets embroiled in dangerous antics, including high-speed chases and unique missions. The narrative unfolds further as Jim encounters FBI Agent Nina Hayes, who is navigating her own challenging journey as the Bureau's first Black female agent, recently appointed against the backdrop of J. Edgar Hoover's recent demise. Their complicated partnership and intertwined past showcase a rich tapestry of crime and determination.
"Duster is an effective two-hander between Holloway and Hilson, and her introduction to the fray is just as gripping, if a bit more subdued."
"She's the first Black female agent the Bureau has ever promoted out of Quantico, an appointment made all the more complex by J. Edgar Hoover's recent demise."
"Duster is so much more than its aesthetic flourishes, however hypnotizing they may be."
"Nina has some history with the 'Southwest's Al Capone,' giving Duster the dimensions of a slow-simmering revenge thriller."
