Tales of the Walking Dead

This is kinda fun . I'm somewhat enjoying the episodes . I was the most excited for the alpha episode but first ones are decent too . The 2nd episode reminds me of Happy Death Day . Not great but one time watchable for the walking dead fans . Alpha backstory was great.

They did something new, and it's kinda cool.

It's way better that the filler episodes of the main show.

The action scenes are edited poorly, so it's only the story and the cinematography to enjoy.

But overall, it's a good experiment, fun to watch.

I usually don't write reviews but after seeing the other reviews here I find this is getting tp much hate.. I Stopped watching TWD years ago but this concept seemed interesting to me, not following the same group of people all the time with stretched out drama like TWD.

So far only seen the first 2 episodes and like my title says it has potential and will watch at least the first season.

Its not unwatchable, nothing like that. However it does not add much value to TWD universe. If you see it as a standalone thing, and not a piece of the puzzle, it doesnt stand.

After all the attempts, I have a feeling that the next really good content would have to fast forward untill new fully developed (and yet promitive) societies have emerged, a completely new setting with new opportunities for plots, drama and action. As long as its characters vs other characters in the setting dominated by walkers, I am afraid we have seen it all already.

This series is *very* hit and miss. Some episodes are genuinely quite good (episodes 3 and 5 specifically) while others are campy, silly, or just come off as some kind of fan fiction. It's nice to see The Walking Dead universe get a little bit creative and experimental - the most recent couple of seasons of the main show have had a handful of brilliantly experimental episodes even if, overall, the show hasn't been great - but here, every episode plays with the "rules" of the Walking Dead universe in ways the other shows wouldn't dare. This can be fun to see sometimes (episode 5's pseudo-noir mystery is an example that works, while episode 2's Groundhog Day time-bending does not) , but it can also come off as schlocky horror camp akin to something like Tales from the Crypt but without the tongue in cheek comedy vibe.

All in all, I'd say this is worth a watch if you're a fan of The Walking Dead - but don't get your hopes up thinking this will be anything great.
