Walker

Too much on the personal issues, not enough action. This show could be so good, but right now it gets boring quick.

Walker is a lot better than I originally expected! I wasn't expecting much and the only reason I started watching it is because I'm a fan of Supernatural and wanted to see Jared Padalecki in another role. It started off pretty slow but I stuck with it and I'm glad I did because it gets a lot better. Jared Padalecki's character is a little like Sam from Supernatural but that's ok because it still works. The worst part of the show is how annoying the kids are. Padalecki also seems to mumble a lot which becomes distracting after a while. Other than that, Walker is a show that will definitely keep your attention, there are very few moments where you'll find yourself bored. I'll absolutely continue to watch it because it has gotten better and better as the show goes on.

First off, I'm a big fan of Jared's, and was looking forward to seeing him in a new show. I never watched the original Walker much, as it was a little to cheesy for my taste, but I've always loved Chuck Norris.

Anyway, this show is very different from the original. I think a remake has a right to break new ground or change itself a bit. After all, that's kind of the point of a remake. However, in this case, the whole ranger/crime-solving aspect of the show takes a total back seat to all the family drama. It's basically a soap opera. There's very little action, too.

And as much as I hate to say it, much of the criticism of Jared's acting is accurate. He's an insecure, stuttering mess most of the time, unsure of what to do, but of course his strong female partner is always there to save the day. I wish they'd portray him as strong, confident, and sure of himself.

I watched the first couple of seasons, but I just couldn't stick with it any longer. It's worth checking out, but just don't be expecting a good action show, because this definitely isn't it.

This show does not give enough to walker who is supposed to be the main character. The female ranger seems to trump him at every turn. This can not hold my attention because the original walker was action pack. This show is boring to say the least.

The show is finding its footing. It *is* more of a family melodrama than anything else, so if you go into it with that understanding, you can just sit back and enjoy the ride. Great scenery, appealing actors. I wish it had a little more grit to it, though. True grit.
