If you’re searching for a crime drama that hooks you fast and refuses to let go, Will Trent might be the series you didn’t know you were missing. Now gaining serious buzz on ITV, the show is being praised as a “phenomenal” detective drama — and viewers are quickly discovering why it’s so dangerously bingeable.
At the center of it all is Will Trent himself: sharp, unconventional, and quietly haunted by a past that shapes every case he touches. Unlike typical TV detectives, Trent doesn’t rely on flashy heroics. Instead, the tension builds through smart writing, emotional depth, and cases that feel disturbingly real.
What truly sets Will Trent apart is its balance. Each episode delivers gripping investigations while slowly peeling back layers of the characters’ personal struggles. The result is a series that’s not just about solving crimes — it’s about understanding the cost of obsession, trauma, and justice.
Fans have praised the show’s pacing as “dangerously addictive,” with episodes flowing seamlessly from one twist to the next. Just when you think you can stop watching, Will Trent drops another emotional punch or shocking reveal.
With strong performances, compelling mysteries, and a lead character viewers can’t stop talking about, Will Trent is quickly earning its reputation as one of the most watchable police dramas on ITV right now.
Fair warning: start one episode, and you may not stop until the screen goes dark.
