The show wants you to believe Jim is a fast driver who’s quick on his feet when there’s trouble, but many of his actions suggest otherwise.

While there are scenarios where Jim has treat his ass like Mary Poppin’s hand bag to find solutions to problems, a lot of these problems the result of his dumbass behavior. Luna is a prime example, as we now know she is his daughter. Episode seven reveals that Saxton had no idea about Luna and meets her for the first time.

I find it hard to believe that Saxton, who has been a father figure and boss for Jim’s entire life, had no idea Jim was a father. Does Jim’s actual father know about Luna? Did he also have to keep it a secret?

Another reason is the pervy cop who got shot at the beginning of the season. We saw Jim attempt to check in on his status at the hospital. He took the word of some nurse who vaguely said it didn’t look good, which was enough for old Jimmy to presume he was dead and never bothered to follow up and make sure.

Now that the cop is back from limbo, he is furious for revenge like a true religious hypocrite.

The best scene in episode seven of Duster is the recreation of Las Vegas in 1972, with the strip beaming with neon lights of Sin City during its Fear and Loathing era. Another scene shows Luna watching the famous car chase scene from Bullitt, of which the show spends nearly two minutes showing us footage of the movie.

I found it hilarious that the show thinks it’s in the same league as Steve McQueen. Besides the opening credits, my favorite scenes in this show are when we see the Plymouth Duster traveling on the desert highway. I could watch 48 minutes of this car driving in a desert sunset or sunrise.

At the time of this article, the jury is still out on whether or not HBO will green light a season two for Duster. I’ll be surprised if they do, and I’ll be even more surprised if I take the time to watch.
