If you're expecting this to be a copy of the 90's hit Walker Texas Ranger, you're gonna find yourself mighty disappointed. The only thing this show shares with the original is the last name Walker and that it's about a Texas Ranger. And, no, he's not related to Chuck Norris's character.
But if you're willing to set aside those expectations, and give it a try you may find your new favorite show.
Jared Padalecki goes back home to Texas, and brings to life Cordell Walker the main character of the show. A Texas Ranger who, after losing his wife and having been undercover for a year, returns home to find things are not the same as when he left. Between doing his job, he must re-connect with his two teenage children who he hasn't seen in a year, get used to a new partner, and deal with his grief over the murder of his wife.
Lindsey Morgan is alongside for the ride as, Micki Ramirez. The first Mexican-American woman to become a Texas Ranger. And Cordell Walker's partner.
Jared and Lindsey are a joy to watch together, the Cordell and Micki scenes are truly the highlight of this episode and it's something I look forward to seeing more of; the rest of the cast also does a great job bringing their characters to life.
It needs some polishing but as a Pilot episode this is a great introduction to the Walker of a whole new generation.
