Who's watched WALKER?


Thoughts guys, would love to learn what you all think?



reply

Yes I did. Thought it ran a bit slow but usually 1st episodes are like that because they're trying to set up the background. The emotional scene where he's talking about his wife's killing was good. I'll keep on watching.

Yes, I actually enjoyed it! I love the fact that even though his parents knew he was grieving and allowed for the initial grace, they also held him accountable for abandoning his children during their most vulnerable time. Obviously his family helped to take care of them. I also like that they don't try to make him soft right away with his kids. Like he has to learn that he can't jump in after being gone for so long and expect that they listen.
Aaaaaand, I'm Team Ramirez all the freaking way. Lady ain't playing around about her new position and how Walker could cost her what she worked so hard for. Man, I've been in shoes similar to hers so I get it. I'm ready for this week's episode to stream tomorrow.
Also, I wasn't really a big fan of the original Walker, Texas Ranger so that might be why I am able to enjoy this one more. However, I can understand how fans of the original may not like it for various reasons. I say give it a try, see how you feel maybe after a month or so. WandaVision has been rather slow as well, but I know they are building up to something big. I can't believe I didn't recognize that Gerladine was Monica Rambeau! I knew she looked familiar though.

reply

Gerladine was Monica Rambeau! Is that the Walkers Mother Ditoa? It took me a while to get her, but now love her. I think Walker's dad feels the weaker character. Its the daughter who appears to be giving Walker the hardest time and she's really struggling to accept him and that he's back for good this time. It is a little slow, but as you say I think it will build. Ratings appear very good, so hope they stay that way. I like it so far. What job was Emily doing to get shot, not sure if she's a drugs smuggler? It wasn't explained?

reply

They haven't explained precisely what Emily was doing. I think she was supposed to be doing more humanitarian type of work?
Walker's father is clearly very old school but I think he may soften up over time. I LOVE his mom though. She can see clearly what's going on with both of her grandchildren. Good thing she spoke up for the boy otherwise he might get lost in the shuffle. And honestly, those kids have it just as bad when adjusting and could become worse than his sister.

I didn't enjoy it, barely made it through episode 1..

reply

Walker has been picked up for season 2 today and have ordered 5 more episodes for Season 1. So I bet JP is a happy fella!

reply

I saw him post on Instagram, he's very humble.

It's easy to get renewed on CW...I'm mostly referring to the terrible Dynasty and the mistake of "Charmed" 2018, oh and Riverdale, that show is bad too.

reply

I watched the Pilot and thought it was OK, but I didn't return for next week.
I'm happy for Jared, but the show feels more like a family drama than anything else and I'm not a fan of some of the characters/actors. I might check it out again, but right now, I'm going to pass.

reply

It appears that way, but once you begin to uncover their back stories it goes deeper than that. I didn't think it would be my type of show, but I think Cordell's family are really gelling and make it feel homely and not in a tacky type of way. Walker is also growing on me, and Jared's acting has really grown. He's still got that shy side like Sam. But he also brings other sides to his character as well. Keep going with it, as its a slow burner.

reply

I haven’t. The reviews have been quite negative

reply

Yes, been watching it. It's OK at best. I find it to family centred. To much family drama. Not enough Texas Rangering. Even when they are on a case, some family drama is tied to the case.
