It’s challenging to find that balance when doing a book-to-screen adaptation. While Will Trent Season 1 excelled at it, they’ve found an even better stride in Season 2.

We barely scratched the surface of getting to know the main characters in Will Trent Season 1.

In contrast, interpersonal connections and messy family dynamics have taken center stage in Will Trent Season 2, interwoven with an unfolding mystery about Will’s past.

Delving into these characters’ rich histories makes us care about them, and many fans appreciate it if it follows the novels’ storylines.
