Roxy K @Sleepy-Slime Feb 21, 2026 Hurts me to leave a Negative Review on this Franchise. I Loved The Walking Dead, and Recently Saw "Fear the Walking Dead." Decided to watch it. I had to stop watching this show on and off a few times due to how Dysfunctional and Stupid the Characters are in this show are. Like yes, completely reasonable that they're confused with how the "Illness" works. But, all other decision making and thinking was beyond infuriating. I'd give the countless examples, but I don't want to spoil it. I just hope by Season 3 they'll give the surviving characters a thing called "Common Sense." I can't recommend giving it a watch, as I am yet to Finish Season 2. It took a lot of 'Hopium' 'Copium' ect to convince myself to purchase the Second Season after Watching the First.

Stopped watching right in middle of Season1 See more Brett L. @Bomb2Moss Dec 27, 2025 It’s somewhat interesting to see the start of the infection spread and the choices made by the government, military, and everyday people but it’s just not the caliber of show that the original series was. It’s held back by so so writing and story telling and weak casting, acting, and characters. They fail to truly pay off the most interesting character plot line involving Nick. The story just isn’t that compelling. The lack of compelling characters also makes what could be profound moments turn into shoulder shrugging ones. There’s not a series carrying Rick or Daryl present to guide us through the West Coast’s Walking Dead world. Nick and Strand are solid characters but are surrounded by not so great characters that are incredibly annoying in their boringness. I get they wanted to go in a different direction with the series but compelling characters are essential to any series and season 1 completely fails to deliver a solid group of them. Overall, it’s just OK and not up to the standard set by the original series. You can tell AMC probably wasn’t satisfied with the series post filming and likely chopped it down to 6 episodes as a result. Exiting season 1 you’re just left with a strong feeling that they’ll need to do a massive overhaul if the series is to ever be anything close to the original series. I wanted to love this after recently going on a return binge of the original series but it’s just an average series that falls short in countless areas that are quintessential to the Walking Dead ecosystem. If you want the best Walking Dead spin off, watch “The Ones Who Live” instead.

See more Patrick G @TrishFritz Oct 12, 2025 A decent introduction to the characters and an cool perspective of the early days of the outbreak. Some pacing issues and phoned in acting. Looking forward to how it goes though in later seasons.

If you like zombie horror, you'll like this. See more Read all reviews
