Walker

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.
