Purposefully weaves overlooked parts of U.S. history into the narrative to create a refreshingly inclusive and subversive take on the old-fashioned western, honoring its classic cornerstones while bringing some much-needed and long-overdue diversity to the genre. Read full review

While I wouldn’t say this series is quintessential viewing (especially during this stacked fall TV season), it remains a fun show to catch each week, and is another shining addition to The CW’s line-up of unique series. Read full review

Walker: Independence is a pretty straightforward western that is helped by a well-considered world that’s been built around its main character. Read full review

Over the course of the first three episodes, the show does seem to struggle to find its footing in regards to tone, but here's hoping it eventually finds a nice balance between the ridiculous and the Very Serious Drama and settles on an identity, because Walker: Independence, like the frontier town it depicts, has a lot of potential.

If you’re a fan of Westerns and interested in the series, “Walker: Independence” hits the genre beats without trying to do anything new. If you’re not a fan of Westerns and interested in the series, “Walker: Independence” isn’t so aggressively of the genre that it’s difficult to get through. And if you’re a fan of The CW, “Walker: Independence” is ultimately fine. Read full review

“1883” but make it sexy! And ridiculous! Read full review

Of the two, “Independence” feels a bit more intriguing, if hardly original, inasmuch as “Yellowstone” already blazed the same trail into cowboy territory with “1883.” Read full review
