I am a big fan of Jared Padalecki, and I will watching advocate for any series he is involved with. I am Overjoyed at the success of Walker, and was happy to hear about this spin-off series. Besides knowing this is set in the past of the Walker family, I deliberately did not seek out any information about this new series.
I am very pleasantly surprised by Walker: Independence. I think the casting has been top notch, particularly Matt Barr's second iteration as Hoyt. He plays the character brilliantly, and I was so dismayed when he was killed off in Walker. This is such an elegant solution, and I am thrilled to have the chance to get to know this new-old character in a new setting, where his "bad-boy" self is in a perfect environment for such a character to thrive.
I am already quite invested in the three main characters. I care about Abby getting her vengeance, and Hoyt finding his place, and Colian finding acceptance in both of his worlds. I'm not as thrilled over Kate, she seems too modern and out of place in this small town, but hopefully she'll grow on me. I was also thrilled to see Mark Sheppard - I may have squealed just a little (or screamed, really) when I saw him! He may not be more than a fleeting character, but it warm my little SPN heart to see him!
I have high hopes for this series and I think it's off to a great start!
