Walker: Independence

As a fan of western movies and series, i find the pilot a promising start and am quite excited with this series. It's a mix of western era with modernity (more CW type, include modern music). Initially i didnt think it would work, but ho boy for me it sucked me right in. It may not be everyone's cup of tea if you are a fan of authentic 1800s era western genre. Walker Independence and Walker might be the best series on the CW! It has a diverse cast, and this diversity makes sense! I am also a fan of Jared from Gilmore Girls and Supernatural, which made me more excited for the future of both Walker and Windy.

Looking forward the upcoming episodes!

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.

As a longtime fan of westerns, I was a prime candidate for Walker: Independence. It's visually beautiful, from the cinematography, to the costumes, to the cast. You get just enough of a taste of each character in the pilot to make you want to see more of each of their stories, and the chemistry between them all is there right off the bat.

The revenge plot is of course well-trod territory, but the mystery behind the motivations for Liam Collins' death present ample opportunity for exploration, especially considering the hints that are dropped in the pilot about certain other characters. It will be interesting to see how the relationships between everyone develop as more is revealed.

Dinged a star because I'm a purist and the modern music cues chaffed a little, but otherwise it was a very enjoyable romp and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

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.

Walker Independence was a pleasant surprise and an immediate favorite for this season's line up of shows. The pilot definitely delivered both on introducing us to the key characters of the series and charming us to Independence itself, leaving the audience hooked for the next episode.

And I can't wait to know more about the characters! It's just so refreshing to see the diversity of that time in history reflected in the show itself. 'Inclusive Western' in a way that doesn't feel tokenism at all. These are the people that has always been part of the rich history of Independence and I'm glad to see them shine here.

Overall, this is fast-paced, lovable, and the whodunnit narrative certainly pairs well for this western. I say give this show a go and it might just exceed your expectations 'cause it definitely did mine.
