J.J. Abrams, Josh Holloway Reunite on Clever if Inconsistent "Duster" | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
Briefly

Josh Holloway, known for his role in 'LOST', returns to TV in 'Duster', playing Jim, a crime syndicate driver in 1972. The show embraces a gritty, grindhouse aesthetic reflective of its era, capturing the desolate Southwest effectively. While 'Duster' delivers entertaining moments, it often seems hesitant to dive into darker themes, which diminishes its impact. Instead, the series emphasizes messages of equality rather than integrating them subtly into the plot. The season feels more like a prologue, leading to potential future developments rather than presenting a fully realized story.
Holloway plays Jim, the driver for a crime syndicate in the American Southwest in 1972, set against a gritty backdrop of open roads and danger.
While 'Duster' has its fun moments over its eight-episode run, it feels more like a warm-up for future storylines rather than a fully embraced narrative.
