John Nugent Empire Magazine 11/08/2017
3/5
It's an intriguing but problematic start for season 2, then: a relatively uneventful episode, bookmarked by snippets of spectacle, with around 40 minutes of people looking all pensive and glum in between. Go to Full Review Jonathon Dornbush Entertainment Weekly 04/11/2016
Fear the Walking Dead returns with a season that promises the swimming dead are to be just as feared as those walking on solid land. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams New York Magazine/Vulture 04/11/2016
3/5
Despite its slow pace, I can't really condemn "Monster." Like Fear the Walking Dead, it's too frustrating to be great, but too eccentric to be dismissed. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 06/19/2018
Fear feels fresh and open in ways long since past The Walking Dead, and tonight's premiere offered a solid, if not outwardly attention-grabbing means to open up a newer, unknown corner of that world. Go to Full Review M. King Adkins PopMatters 04/25/2016
5/5
Focusing on personalities, relationships, and emotions means producing gripping conflicts between riveting characters delivering intense dialogue with blistering performances. To date, Fear the Walking Dead hasn't managed to rise to that level. Go to Full Review Susan Arendt SFX Magazine 04/12/2016
If Monster is any indication, it's about clubbing walkers in the head and figuring out what humans you can trust. And we've seen that show already. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
