Walker: Independence

As a fan of westerns as well as Walker I really enjoyed the show. I think the cast did a good job establishing their characters and look forward to seeing where they go with the story. The use of the different languages was appreciated.

I am anticipating that the show will get even better as we learn more about the characters. I already have some ideas about some of the characters being someone other than they portray themselves to be. They have set it up for many different possible storylines so that will be interesting to see the directions they go.

We didn't get to see much of Mark Shepard's character so I'm interested to see what his character is about. I'm hoping will find out more about Abby's family & her relationship with them. Perhaps some of them might come to town.

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.

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.

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!
