    Once things settled down, we appreciated the thoughtful approach of the new series. ... Padalecki’s version of Cordell Walker has a real family situation he needs to address, all the while trying to protect his home state from drug cartels and other bad guys. It’s a refreshing new take on a character that was very one-dimensional in the 1990s.

    Serviceable acting, and nothing else. I had low expectations, they just weren't low enough.

    Edit: After watching more episodes (6 or 7? I lost track), I'm revising my score from a 2 down to a 0 and I'm never going to watch this show again.

    Not only is it still terrible, they also started heavily pushing left wing politics in the most obnoxious ways possible. Eat **** Jared.    … Full Review »

The show is 90% very poor and boring, over acted drama that we've seen on so many failed shows. The original had action (often overdone but that's what made it popular). This show is trying to do everything - a little bit of action but a LOT of PC drama trying to do everything and anything. Not a fan.… Full Review »

    I don't really know how to explain without sounding mean. It's not a reboot. If you look at it from a sociopolitical and sociocritical view,I don't really know how to explain without sounding mean. It's not a reboot. If you look at it from a sociopolitical and sociocritical view, it's just not good, especially in this century. And sadly Jareds acting is average.… Full Review »
