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.

Zaki Hasan TheWrap 05/16/2023
This installment begins with a compelling hook, boo-hiss baddies lined up and the stage set for a suitably epic showdown with some degree of finality to it. Then again, maybe not. Go to Full Review

B-
The show could still drop a bomb into all this again and fumble what it has going for it. However, if you’ve made it this far, Fear the Walking Dead continues to carve out just enough of its own identity to stick with the series for its closing chapter. Go to Full Review

4/5
Whether it's a suspenseful sequence set on a waterlogged and walker-logged houseboat in a zombie-infested swamp, or watching Madison and Morgan scuffling in a figurative tug-o-war, it's a solid start to a season that gets better with each episode. Go to Full Review

Adam T @Adam2026 Jan 20 I’m a big fan of TWD but season 8 of FTWD has to probably be one of the worst seasons in the TWD tv show universe. First season 8 has some of the worst acting and cringy moments that the show has to offer, sometimes I can’t even take this show seriously anymore it’s so bad, not to mention this show feels extremely rushed with a bunch of shortcuts and parts of the show that make no sense and that don’t fit into the show because of AMC not taking time to put it in. The main point of season 8 I found to be pretty solid but the over all approach is terrible. And what did it for me at the end here was Charlie’s death, it was probably the most pointless and worthless deaths in TV show history, killing off a main character for no reason in the dumbest way possible. Terrible season not worth watching, but you have to too know how the show ends. See more Mark D @MDaws3254 Jan 5 Absolute mess, the story makes no sence the characters are annoying especially with the unrealistic choices made. Rushed and like it was written by a 15year old for a school project. Totally unsatisfying in every respect, only watching it now to see what stupid choices are made next. See more Haziel C Apr 10 En ocasiones es preocupante porque usan tan mal a los personajes, haciendo que parezcan incapaces de tomar acciones con sentido común. El personaje de Mo no fue de mi agrado, tampoco el de Morgan en esta ocasión. En la temporada 6 me había gustado cómo lo habían manejado, pero al final de la séptima parecía que no siempre tomaba decisiones coherentes. Me desconcerta mucho como pueden hacer a un personaje con tan poca inteligencia, no solo morgan, casi todos los principales les quitaron neuronas El personaje de Madison es un terrible personaje, no porque la actriz lo intérprete bien, si no porque hace puras tonterías, estaba bien muerta, porque siempre que hace una tontera se le justifica por el guión, no entiendo porque tener tantas subidas y bajadas en una serie See more AD30 P 12/12/2024 The worst show and characters I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Madison Clark and Morgan are the stupidest character out of everyone on this show. See more scott m 10/10/2024 I like the show. I am friends with Bobbie Grace. She played a Ranger in this TV show. Top rated and cool. See more Darrin D 06/25/2024 It should be renamed: "Avoid the Moaning Survivors". Bad script and dialogue, mediocre acting, with most characters uninteresting and tedious. After the first few episodes I forced myself to continue and see it to the end, which was a time wasting non-event. Dear AMC - no spinoffs necessary for this one! See more Read all reviews
