This series follows the adventures of private investigator Trent Malloy, a former special forces operative and protege of Ranger Cordell Walker, and Carlos Sandoval, a police detective, who join forces to battle criminals in Dallas. With Malloy's karate skills and Sandoval's police training expertise, the two men, with a little help from their friend Butch McMann, an ex-prize fighter, stop at nothing to ensure that justice is served.

Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 08/12/2019
Ineptly written, stiffly acted, appallingly stupid and disgustingly violent, Sons of Thunder is one of those series that gives bad TV a worse name. How did it even get made? Go to Full Review
Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune 08/12/2019
This six-episode midseason placeholder, spun off of a TV movie that was itself spun off of Norris' "Walker, Texas Ranger" series, would have been better titled "Dim Bulbs of Dallas." Go to Full Review
Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 08/12/2019
Sons of Thunder is just mean-spirited mayhem supported by a formulaic plot that makes the story lines of Charlie's Angels seem as dense as Dickens. Go to Full Review
Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 08/12/2019
Explaining the appeal of "Walker, Texas Ranger" is, well, pretty much impossible... If you like "Walker," you'll probably like "Sons of Thunder." If you don't, then steer clear. Go to Full Review
