Review of Bar None

Walker: Bar None (2021)
Season 1, Episode 6
4/10
Bar None
24 June 2021
There were a lot of plot strands some good and some bad.

Walker is accused of using excessive force and this is something that chimes with real world issues. Walker even boasting that he will get away with it.

Walker's boss has concerns that the man who confessed to killing Walker's wife might not be the actual killer. Hoyt Rawlins, Walker's old friend and who is doing time in prison is sent into the man's cell to find out more.

Walker is approaching the first anniversary of his wife's death, he gets the life insurance cheque but is unhappy that his favourite bar is up for sale to developers. I wonder if that life insurance money has a role to play later!

There was so many things happening, there was no central focus to the episode and once again the family stuff held everything back. The introduction of Ramirez's mum was clunky. It was lacklustre and lacked impetus.

Also given the way American episodic television works these days. It cannot be much of a shock that by the sixth episode, there are developments of a story arc which will inevitably have a few shocks.

That might explain the flashback scenes which featured Walker and his wife with Hoyt and Geri.
