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!

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!

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.

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.
