A sign of the apocalypse has begun. Reports of a rapidly changing world for unknown reasons underscore this gritty drama, a prequel to AMC's uber-popular "Walking Dead." The story is told through the lens of high school guidance counselor Madison Clark. The widowed mother is raising two children single-handedly and maintains a relationship with English teacher Travis Manawa, her apocalyptic partner. The challenge of blending their families is exacerbated by unforeseen chaos, and a necessary survival of the fittest takes hold.

Based on the first two hours, the program does feel somewhat invigorated by the new blood. Go to Full Review

B-
The main feeling you get from Fear's new season is that the mainline Dead show has swallowed Fear, like a snake eating its own tail, or a zombie biting its own foot. Go to Full Review
Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice 08/24/2018
If it is any indication, fans of the Walking Dead shows will still find plenty to munch on as season four of Fear the Walking Dead carries on. Go to Full Review
Laura Bradley Vanity Fair 08/13/2018
By moving Morgan Jones over from The Walking Dead, the prequel series was able to establish a narrative through line... and to introduce new, exciting characters who could take the story in a whole new direction. Go to Full Review
Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 08/13/2018
At the start of its fourth season's second half, Fear the Walking Dead sets a higher bar in terms of the degree of difficulty facing the show's ever-changing roster of characters in their quest to survive. Go to Full Review
Charlie Mason TV Line 05/21/2018
It's gone from being an adequate stopgap between seasons of The Walking Dead to a show that's as good or arguably even better than the one from which it was spun off. Go to Full Review

Cj W Sep 6 Absolutely abysmal after the masterpieces of seasons 1-3. This is disgraceful See more Tom Jul 19 I absolutely loved S1-3. The way S3 ended, I was looking forward to watching S4, then within minutes of watching ep1 of S4, I started to get confused, but gave it the benefit of doubt that things will pick up, lost interest by ep3 and was also skipping the scenes with Morgan because I had zero interest. Devastating to see how downhill the show got from S4 and very disappointed. See more Inga K Jul 14 the most frustrating season ever. killing off the main characters & in less than 10 minutes of a confrontation which is stopped by Morgan who they've known for less than a week ends with them eating noodles, under a tree. can't be bothered to finish it. See more Jocus R 11/07/2024 Nothing has ever made me as frustrated as I was watching this season. I almost started crying just thinking about people getting paid to write this. It was so bad I signed up for this site just to write this review. I hate it. I absolutely despise it. If you like it I think you are a stupid person. If you hate it like me, then you understand the world. I am not going to waste anymore time reviewing this atrocity. See more Vid V 06/16/2024 So much pointless deaths, stupid, meaningless plots. If you know the scavangers have ill intentions towards you, you dont let them camp at your front porch, you kill them all and live happily ever after with your family. Especially when you are waiting for an attack, you just let a van 20 meters from your gates and trucks filled with walkers, worse yet you watch them unload them right in front of your eyes, while you got 10 machine guns and 30 armed People, you blast everything to bits as soon as it is in your sight. I dont know what writers were thinking, and anyone who approved anything that happened in this season should find a job somewhere else, cause that is not for you. Try flipping some hamburger patties, hopefully you dont burn those too👍👍 total flop of a season. Im just glad i managed to watch through that and not having my eyes stuck rolled inside my face, as much as i was cringing. Cause season 5 was an improvement, while season 6 was a treat. See more Brett L 04/08/2024 It's sad. Because the first 5 episodes of this season were awesome. There were some great new characters additions, interesting new villains, very tense conflicts and action, and even a great love story between John and June. But after episode 5 (expect episode 10) the rest of the season was absolutely terrible. Madison's death was so forced, stupid, and incredibly ridiculous that it seriously damaged this franchise for the rest of it's run. Also the writing, dialogue of characters, and overall story was so cringey and stupid that it was almost painful to watch. Also, things got very boring. It was just a shame. Shame because the season started off so great and then with the ridiculous death of Madison that was forced by the then new showrunners, got so bad so fast. See more Read all reviews
