Look at how many people thought cheating with Carrie in his wife's bed was acceptable for a charter

What?

Sorry, Mr. Big on Sex and the City.  He treated Carrie horribly and ended up marrying someone else, then sleeping with her in his wife's bed....yet people still rooted for that relationship and have always held it up as one of true love....it is funny how many bad relationships in book, movie and tv lore are the ones that people actually want to see....not funny really, but sad and scary.  The number of clips of Fitz and Olivia screaming at her and the things he would say....and yet again ....true love....so why not Angie and Will?

Have you read the books?   Book Angie makes Tv Angie look like a sweetheart.   She isn’t just damaged, she is a truly vile character.

Are they basically confirming Sara is endgame for Will?

Is the character Gina Rodriguez is playing in the books?

I read the books and was hesitant to watch the series, since I can find the differences aggravating.  But I really enjoyed Bosch, coming to the realization that I should watch it as a series that coincidentally has characters with the same names as characters in the Michael Connelly books.  So that's how I'm watching Will Trent; I don't expect it to follow the books word for word.  And if it did, I probably wouldn't watch, since the book Angie is so awful.

Usually when I've read a book first, I prefer the book over a series or movie, but at this point I'm enjoying the show Will Trent more than the Slaughter books.

I don’t think so.
