Fast paced and straight to the point...
Oddly enough, t hen I had actually never heard about the 2016-2017 Webisodes of "Fear the Walking Dead" titled "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" before now in 2023, as I happened to come across it by random chance on YouTube. Needless to say that with my love of all things zombie and "The Walking Dead" franchise in general, of course I had to sit down and watch these 16 short webisodes.
The storyline and plot in "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" is pretty straightforward. The audience is tossed into the action right away, and there isn't a bunch of fillers, dialogue or setup for the webisodes to sit through. Nay, this was straight to the action, pure and simple. And, of course, with each webisode running for less than a minute each, then there is not really room or leniency for fillers and such. I found the storyline in "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" to be enjoyable.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage". But with a very small cast ensemble, I will say that they had some good talents to portray the characters. I was especially impressed with actress Mishel Prada.
Something that was missing from "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" was more zombie action. Sure, you have some, but this was essentially a short story about Gabi's reunion with Colton and of her coming to terms with the dystopian world filled with ravenous zombies that she now lives in.
If you enjoy "The Walking Dead", or any of the numerous spin-offs, then you will also enjoy "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" for what it is; a short running tale.
My rating of "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" lands on a six out of ten stars.
