Am watching this series premiere on ABC....is this supposed to be like Monk? So far, it doesn't even come close....

@Trailrun23 This is based on a book series that I think the author started writing in 2006 or so & like you mentioned Will is I think autistic. It's only 7:30 here so we've got aways to go before it comes on.

I don't think the Will Trent character is going to be true to the books. I don't remember a chihuahua either but it has been a long time since I read the books. I am recording it.

I just set the dvr. Hope it records the rerun (on 1/9) of the pilot episode.

I believe in the book the dog was a mini poodle (been a while since I read the first book). After seeing this first episode I won't be watching anymore. This is a much different vibe than the written series. I knew it would be since it's on ABC. It should have been a cable series or streaming series. The books are intense, the show tonight not so much.

It dosen,t usually record repeats. You can by going to the 9th and recording it as a separate recording for that one repeat only.

The author is Karin Slaughter and I really enjoyed the books. Some of these seem to fail when translated to TV. I like Three Pines. It is greatly influenced by how they pick the lead. I had to stop watching Bosch because he was nothing like I imagined him to be. Except for no French accent, I think they did a good job with Gamache.

I loved the books. I haven't seen the episode yet, but from the previews I wasn't impressed with the casting. Not how I envisioned the characters from the books.

The actor playing Trent has a strange accent. I missed the first half hour so i didn't hear where he was raised. The accent almost sounds extreme south Louisiana .
