Set in the late 1800s, an origin story of the series "Walker," "Walker Independence" follows Abby Walker, an affluent and tough-minded Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West. Abby arrives in the town of Independence, Texas, where she encounters diverse and eclectic residents running from their pasts, chasing their dreams, and keeping their own secrets. Abby runs into Hoyt Rawlins, a slippery rogue, thief, and con artist with a dented heart of gold who quickly eyes Abby as a mark, until she turns the tables on him. In seeking justice for her husband, Abby and Hoyt soon find themselves precariously aligned, both seeking to uncover the truth about the identity of Abby's husband's killer, and vow to save Independence -- a frontier boomtown where nothing is what it seems.

Brian Lowry CNN.com Oct 6, 2022
The series essentially becomes a slow-rolling western soap opera, one boasting an admirably diverse cast, but a frustrating sense that the whole vengeance thing is going to take a lot longer than it should. Go to Full Review LaToya Ferguson Variety Oct 5, 2022
If you’re a fan of The CW, Walker: Independence is ultimately fine. Much like its sibling show, it has the potential to outgrow that status, but there’s no harm if it doesn’t. Go to Full Review Max Gao AV Club Oct 4, 2022
B+
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. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Oct 7, 2022
Anna Fricke is interested in building out a world for Abby Walker in Walker: Independence rather than just rely on action sequences and black-and-white moralism. Go to Full Review Maggie Fremont TV Guide Oct 6, 2022
6.0/10
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. Go to Full Review Anna Govert Paste Magazine Oct 5, 2022
7.1/10
Offering Clint Eastwood by way of The CW, Walker: Independence is a fun Western romp filled with all the CW-isms you would expect, and all the genre subversions you maybe wouldn’t. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Zane T @ZaneThind Dec 16, 2025 For what it had and it gave this was a good show. I wish it got more than one season because it seemed really promising. Especially the later episodes felt like it was going to lead to something more. See more Estuard F @Gio2099 Feb 8, 2024 De verdad espero la segunda parte de su historia porque tiene algo bueno que contar See more Cristian s @cristiansj Dec 20, 2023 Empecé a ver esta serie incluso con la noticia de que no la habían renovado y solo por ser spinoff así que esperaba poco realmente pero la verdad que me termino sorprendiendo para bien. Entretenida y con buen ritmo, una historia y variedad de personajes decentes. Creo que su punto mas fuerte es la cantidad de capítulos, solo 13 episodios permiten que sea mas concreta, que avance de forma mas rapida y con menos relleno. Ojala vuelva de alguna forma porque la verdad es que me gusto. See more Yala A @RT97297835 Jun 11, 2023 I'm hooked I hope it returns See more Robert J @Robbob67 May 14, 2023 Thought might have possibilities but then clueless Sheriff starts whistling the same song she heard her hubby killer doing when asked where heard that he said mr such such was playing it an it just stuck with me now she knows who her husband killer is was writing staff running late on lunch an just winged it really bad acting un likable characters killed main star from 1883 in first minutes the only cast with real charisma an star power that was brilliant See more Randy L @RT72120628 Apr 5, 2023 A really pleasant surprise of a show. A Western with a modern flair in writing and overall execution, it's no Deadwood but it was a good story with strong actors and beautiful sets. I will be very upset if this show doesn't get renewed for S2, they really leave you wanting more at the end. See more Read all reviews
