Walker: Independence

This new show is so very exciting. Loving all the authenticity they have included and cannot wait to follow the story of these incredible characters and how they are all going to interact as they work to solve the murder of Abby's husband. Hoyt is obviously a character with a lot of depth and a bit of a bad boy but with a good heart. Calian is all heart and torn between his Apache world and his friends. Kate is really a mystery and think her story has some potential twists and turns. Gus I think is trying to decide what is going on and working on the mystery. The new sheriff still appears to be the bad guy but is he? Mark Sheppard as Hagan is a really fun inclusion and look forward to finding out if he is good or bad.

What a great start for Walker Independance I loved it. Each character gave us a little look into who they are and I felt invested to find out more about them and what they will bring to the show going forward. The backdrop and costumes are great and reminds me of the old western shows and films. Definitely can't wait to see them all develop as the series goes on especiall Abby, Hoyt, Calian and Augustus . All the cast were great. It was nice seeing another version of Hoyt Rawlins and Matt Barr does it so well. It was nice to see a guest starring role for Mark Shepherd, hope to see him in future episodes. Great start to the series, more please.

A great introduction to what looks like an exciting adventure. A wonderful inclusive cast & a peek at the authentic West. Looking forward to see how this story plays out. Great casting. Matt Barr is a joy. The ladies all bring an aspect of mystery. It's wonderful to see different kinds of people not relegated to stereotype.

The villains aren't black & white. I enjoy all the layers this story is beginning to peel back.

If you want a successful show, call on Jared Padalecki for quality programming. Jared has been in the business since he was 17. He has on same network for 22 yrs. He loves storytelling. He's great at it. Walker is incredible. Now he is part of another amazing show that delves into the Walkers past in a new, exciting way.

All the promo I'd seen had me already somewhat invested in this show, but now that I've seen the pilot I'm 100% hooked! I'm hooked on the plot, the cast of characters, and the town of Independence itself! It's all so well and beautifully done and you can tell everyone in front of and behind the scenes truly cares about the story and being authentic to the diverse history they're portraying. It's a prequel to Walker, about the start of the Walker family legacy, but is more than capable of standing alone. You don't need to be in love with Jared Padalecki's Cordell Walker to fall for the people of Walker Independence. I love it and can't wait for more!

I'm excited to see a western on the small screen. The time is right. I think people are looking for escapism that isn't totally fantasy. The world is in turmoil with many unknowns and a western takes us back to a time when we thought things were more straight forward. However, they have found a way to expand our antiquated thoughts of the old west and created a much more realistic diverse group of people.

The outdoor scenes were spectacular. They introduced a lot of cast members that were full of life, but I felt very connected to most of them in that short 42 minutes. Some great chemistry is going on as well.
