Making great use of Josh Holloway's rugged charm and a retro aesthetic that recalls 1970s television, Duster slaps a fresh coat of paint on a vintage vehicle.

With its choice needle drops, vibrant desert setting, and charming characters, Duster is breezy, low-impact entertainment. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 05/19/2025
“Duster” is stupid fun, a comic melodrama steeped in 1970s exploitation flicks, with a lot of loving homage to period clothes, knickknacks and interior design. Go to Full Review Robert Levin Newsday 05/19/2025

Valerie E @Valeriejeann Jun 15 We loved this series! Great story, great acting, lots of action. It doesn't make sense that they're not making a 2nd season. It got great reviews and they seemed to leave it open for a second season. See more Ry N @RyGuy Mar 17 Ezra's wheelman, Jim Ellis, starts working for the FBI in the investigation of Joey Ellis's death during 1970. This is a great watch, it's a shame HBO cancelled it with a cliffhanger. See more Mila C. @milaisabelcin Dec 28 Amazing show amazing. Cast great writing. Also, it left. So many cliffhangers that need to be continued very unfair for the show to get canceled, leaving major story arcs unfinished is so unfair. We need to bring the show back. See more Zane R @Anthrax442 Dec 27 Really good acting and writing, cant believe its cancelled. The network should have done a better job promoting it. See more A P. @FilmFan4547 Nov 23 Should have gotten a second season. Great writing, interesting characters, and an engaging plot. Deserved a much better fate from HBO. See more Mark H @Markle-Sparkle Oct 6 Amazing! So true to the 1970s. The INTRO is to die for!!!! OMG! I love this show. Please bring it back for a second season, so people can see how great it is.
