A heated debate is erupting online as Will Trent finds itself at the center of a growing controversy. Sharp-eyed viewers are claiming the series bears striking similarities to another well-known crime drama, igniting accusations that the show may have gone too far in “borrowing” familiar ideas.
Fans have flooded social media pointing out what they call overlapping character traits, near-identical plot beats, and story twists that feel way too familiar to ignore. Some viewers insist it’s just a coincidence common to the genre, while others argue the similarities are “too specific to be accidental.”
The discussion has quickly divided the fandom. Supporters of Will Trent defend the show, saying crime dramas naturally share tropes, while critics claim the latest episodes crossed an invisible line between inspiration and imitation.
