While it steers clear of issues of race in a way that modern audiences are likely to find a bit much to accept, it still manages to be a feel-good story that doesn't sugarcoat most of the Depression-era realities.

Rated: 3/5

Not even close to the original series. The Waltons is used very loosely. This is not even close to the original. The narrator John boy from the original series was the only good part. 👎👎👎👎

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Not as good as the original. They are supposed to be a poor depression era family. No tattered clothing, socializing with black folks seemed anachronistic. Acting was also a bit better in the original.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
