There are a lot of good TV shows on air right now, but ABC's Will Trent may just be the best — and not just because the cast includes a tiny, scene-stealing Chihuahua named Betty.

Set in a version of Atlanta where people can wear three-piece suits, sweater vests and neck scarves all year round without dying of heat exhaustion, the series focuses on Special Agent Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI). As played by Ramón Rodríguez, Will is guarded, even haunted at times, but always searching for a way to make the world a safer place.
