Josh Bell Boston Globe With its choice needle drops, vibrant desert setting, and charming characters, Duster is breezy, low-impact entertainment. Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times “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. May 19, 2025 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday This is a fun throwback and a return to form for J.J. Abrams. Rated: 3/4 May 19, 2025 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu J. J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan have crafted a blistering cops-and-robbers caper that evokes the swinging ‘70s in thrilling and fun ways Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Amy Tonta That Shelf Duster is a fresh and exciting show filled with action and mystery, while also bringing a gripping story of resilience about a woman who doesn’t back down despite being constantly undermined. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Polly Conway Common Sense Media Duster doesn't bring much new with its premise, but it's fun to watch the expertly chosen cast chew a little scenery.

Mark H 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review Paige M. I loved the feeling of the 1970s in Phoenix. Acting was phenomenal. The writing was excellent. I stumbled across the show and cannot believe that HBO did nothing to promote it. They never gave it a chance and they canceled it after one season. I hope some other streaming service realizes what a gem the show is and picks it up for a second series. Although season one concludes the entire story arc, it sets up a season two that sounds like it could be just as phenomenal as season one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Benjamin H Covered in a modernly retro style and elegantly vibrant, Duster's simple storytelling hurts some of the character's memorability and it is rather cliched on some levels, but it's easygoing entertainment that blends comedy, crime and action pleasantly together and features solid performances. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review wasim d Excellent Series... Needs a Season 2 Asap! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review Kim K. Duster is an awesome series, very exciting and a great story with many twists I didn’t expect, I would suggest that you give it a try I’m sure you will like it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Nick C. Great show loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
