Walker: Lessons from the Gift Shop (2024)
Season 4, Episode 3
8/10
Hoping for Renewal
18 April 2024
Since we are in renewal season, let's just go over the positives and hope the network bosses agree:

Walker once again delivers a very well-crafted episode on a CW budget. The fact that it manages to do so week after week is a tribute to the skill of the people there

I may want to debate certain choices the writers have made on Walker's relationship (yet doesn't discourse equal engaged viewers?) Still, I also want to mention how great it is to watch a show where dialogue is so finely tuned that you can most times tell who's talking by the lines said. In other words, kudos to the Walker writers room.

Editing is spectacular. There is a lot going on, especially this season perhaps because of the shorter run.

However, editing and clever directing choices keep viewing smooth and transitions clear.

The tone of the show is consistent. It has by now developed a Walker style that I'm enjoying. It's so hard for a tv series to "hit its stride" in this economic climate of mass cancellation, so what a joy to see a show that has managed to accomplish just that.

I'm personally here for the case work, but need complex characters, too. This show delivers.

It has diversity on all fronts, while not pandering or preaching. This is effective in that it "shows" rather than "tells"
