‘Duster’ is a 1970s-set crime series that attempts to blend nostalgic aesthetics with deeper narrative ambitions. While it features car chases and the charm of throwback episodic series, it struggles with coherence and substance. The story of a Vietnam vet-turned-mobster, portrayed by Josh Holloway, becomes convoluted as it strives for complexity, feminism, and inclusivity. Consequently, many viewers might find it feels more like an introduction to future plots than a satisfying, self-contained first season, lacking the engagement that might warrant waiting for another installment.
‘Duster’ surrounds itself with throwback aesthetics but fails to deliver coherent storytelling, making it feel more like a prologue than a self-contained series.
The series seeks to weave a complex narrative but ultimately gets lost in its ambitions, overshadowing the entertainment value that nostalgia could evoke.
