Fear the Walking Dead

It's a real shame that most people rate shows on a "0 or 10" scale. Most of the complaining I hear about this show stem from people wanting it to be more like TWD. If you'd like to see something that is not TWD, but exists in the same universe--I think that's called a "spin-off"--then this show is that. Different places, different faces. Some of the characters make dumb choices, some are boring, and some are annoying. Viewers really seem to hate "realism" despite always screaming for it.

It's not perfect. I could gripe about the things I don't like, but they are minor when compared to the fact that I'm really enjoying watching how things progressed while Rick was in a coma. It offers nothing in the way of explaining the zombies (that's a good thing), but is showing really well how panic and mobs of humans actually paved the way for zombies to swoop right in and eat everyone.

If you want to enjoy this show, turn off your silly expectations about it being like TWD, and just watch while convincingly-real and flawed humans deal with a fast-moving crisis that no one seems to understand. It's easy for viewers to forget that these new characters don't have years of experience in the zombie world, so it just looks like some weird virus that makes people crazy and hard to kill. 7/10

I have been captivated by this series especially after the character development was completed. I preferred original TWD, but after Morgan's crossover this series really took off. I hung in there to the end, including the final season when IMDB ratings dropped, like a ton.

To me, that final season was somewhat disappointing, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Those characters deserved a good ending, with all the drama the main WD series provided in spades. They got that.

One complaint I did have was the continual previews (spoilers that is) during every commercial. Why would you do that? Other shows do it too much as well, but the WD shows led the way. I realllly dont like spoilers.

But I did like this show. Don't let the walkers & some blood stop you. It's really not too gory. The character development is well worth the journey.

Honestly such a shame that S4&5 were so bad. Because S6 is FANTASTIC! Would have loved to have seen the show continue where it left off at S3 and use S6 as the Morgan intro but then again I feel as if we are being treated with S6 after suffering throughout S4&5, however in reality it's just because Scott Gimple (show runner for S4&5 of fear and S7&8 of twd) ruined those seasons just like S7&8 of the main show, as soon as he leaves both shows they become good again... Just hoping S7 is going to be just as good - if not better!

Man the first three seasons were so enthralling, I almost enjoyed them as much as the original show! And then season 4 happened and there was a noticeable shift in writing and the storyline was not as cohesive and easy to follow. Too much jumping back and forth in time making it incredibly complicated and leaving me scratching my head and wanting to throw in the towel! It did feel like an end of an era after season 3 and season 4 and beyond are definitely an acquired taste with a lot of new characters and silly storylines. I guess that's why the ratings have gone down in the series is finally coming to an end!

Nick's character & Strand's are the ONLY two that I liked, everyone else was annoying. HOW you going tell someone what you going to do at their place or on their boat......or NOT listen when the world is going to hell. I spent a lot of time rolling my eyes at the rest of the cast but I LOVE Morgan & zombies too.
