Winter Warmer Watchlist - Duster - Season One/Series Final

Duster is sadly, a one and done crime/thriller series created by J. J. Abrams & LaToya Morgan.

Starring Lost legend, Josh Holloway, Rachel Hilson, & Keith David. 

Set in 1972; Hilson portrays the FBI's first Black woman agent & Holloway plays a getaway driver using a 1970 Plymouth Duster. So there is 70's fashion, music and culture! Meow!

The HBO Max series had a short two month run during May & July this year before being canceled after one season.


Now HBO Max are having a moment. With And Just Like That.. finally wrapping, we finally get into Peacemaker's second season this week.

I really didn't mind this eight episode run. The action was fun, the characters were most likely, and J. J. Abrams, I'm not sure why this didn't work out.

Either way Duster was a fun little watch. It does though leave HBO Max with not a great deal of content left when it only just launched. Hacks in Australia streams on Stan whilst The Pitt only just streamed.

For a new streamer with a large HBO branded library, maybe they can rely on nostalgia. However for someone like me who seeks new content, if they keep cutting new series like Duster, maybe its lucky the OG brand HBO has Task, IT: Welcome to Derry, with new series of Euphoria, The White Lotus and The Last of Us coming over the next few years.

For now Duster streams it's only eight episodes now.
