The winter season has added a few new untrue crime shows to the broadcast catalog: 'The Company You Keep,' 'Will Trent' and 'Alert: Missing Persons Unit.'
There is, among these shows, an unavoidable embrace of the obvious, given just how many thousands — hundreds of thousands — of hours such stories have logged over the years. Many lack “seriousness,” even when they’re dealing with serious things, a weightlessness that helps make them watchable week after week. Problems are solved within an episode, even when longer arcs are attached; it’s character and not cliffhangers that draw you back.
Airing since January is ABC’s delightful “Will Trent,” adapted by Liz Heldens and Daniel T. Thomsen from the novels of, with Ramón Rodríguez as the eponymous agent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Will is out of the school of eccentric detectives, with a complicated background, having grown up in the foster care system and with a case of dyslexia that’s rendered him functionally illiterate — but given him compensatory super powers of perception.
Also airing since January is Fox’s “Alert: Missing Persons Unit,” whose colon-split title echoes that of the “CSI:” and “NCIS:” franchises, as well as “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” A fairly straight procedural, with a more-than-usual emphasis on the domestic relations and entanglements of its detective heroes, it’s at once the most conventional and the most outlandish of these shows.
