The worst part of the first episode of this bland retread is just how darn slow and forgettable the whole thing feels by the end credits.

Gone is Norris and his single emotional on-screen note, primal bloodlust. This time around the role is filled by the hunky and charismatic Jared Padalecki... And his presence alone keeps Walker interesting while it sorts out what it wants to be.

It's startling to say that this version feels like it's even shallower and more simplistic than the one with the star of Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection.

Walker is a hokey, old-fashioned cop show, and giving it a slightly woke facelift and putting it on The CW doesn't change that.

The moral grayness of Walker will give the show's writers no end of material, especially since the series seems positioned to be family friendly, moralistic, vaguely Christian and averse to the kind of mayhem [of its predecessor].

With so many characters, there's not as much time for busting up bad guys, so this isn't your grandfather's "Walker." It's clearly The CW's cookie cutter iteration.
