US: Fear the Walking Dead

[Random Guy]

Is The Walking Dead really all that it is cracked up to be?

I watched the first season and part of the second - all I remember was a very soap-opera style lame-ass take on the comics. Didn't like it at all. Anything happen to improve it?

And how many seasons along is it now anyway?

You get about 2/3 decent episodes a season, it really doesn't deserve the praise it receives.

Personally, I have found Walking Dead an excellent show and is very much character driven rather than an all out zombie splatter fest.

 

[mithrandir]

As for this spin-off series if only on BT.

 

[llamadal]

Other than season 2 being very very slow, it's an excellent show.

Like most programs, you have some episodes that are better than others, but that's to be expected.

I definitely don't rate it up there with the greats, but I like shows that can create a new world for you and they do that reasonably well here. I also like it when the 'good guy' isn't always such a saint.

mmm just not too fussed with this, more zombies, been done to death.......

 

[R3X]

We got zombie vamps in the strain and the same in dusk till dawn..... but I will take my walking dead zombies any day of the weak, only the zombie baby from z-nation beats them all though.

 

[NexusK]

First episode was quite good.

 

[mrk]

Really good potential. It's clear they've taken the good zombie action from TWD and put it right into this new series. I expect this to be even more gory than TWD!

 

[arknor]

thought it was slow as hell , rubbish pacing & boring

I guess you can make the "walking dead" look good by making an even worse spin off

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

I thought it was excellent, that eerie sense of something happening behind the scenes and things starting to break down.

Are they going to try do some sort of 'origin' of the virus in this?

 

[borich_planner]

I loved it. When you saw the teacher sitting and then he turned slowly.. had he turned...

It's set in the same world and almost parallel to the start of TWD, so I guess we will get a very good glimpse of how the virus came to be from the major city perspective.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Don't have BT... Boooo. To the Internet!!

 

[Smokey Deza]

I think I'm ready to hate this on account of how crap TWD is.

How did that driver hit that dude in the middle of an empty road. "I didn't see him" Please.

Second the guy that tripped or whatever and landed his hand in a pool if gibs. Lol it's just a drug den kk I won't call the police to invetigate.

 

[v0n]

My god that was slow, even by AMC standards.

 

[point decay]

didn't expect this to be so boring, jeez that first ep was a slog.
