Fear the Walking Dead’s second season manages to maintain the great momentum of the first, even as it transitions to a new arc. It’s also much more fun than it sounds (even though half of the cast is made up of angsty teenagers), as the show takes typical story tropes and manages to smoothly mix them with zombie-horror adventures.

There’s a fine line between “calming” and “soporific,” but the new season mostly manages to stay on the right side of it, judging by the first three episodes. Read full review

As The Walking Dead began its second season, the characters became mired in an endless storyline at a small farm in rural Georgia, a farm where they stayed for almost the entire season. The comics had done it, so the show did too. Fear the Walking Dead tells what appears to be a similar story, but it's over within an episode. Sometimes not having anybody to copy is the best thing that can happen. Read full review

The idea of capturing the zombie apocalypse as it began, from a character-driven, family drama point of view, wasn’t a bad one, but this “Walking Dead” spin-off thus far hasn’t developed a cast to keep the premise afloat. Read full review

The stumbling spin-off makes a wearisome return by quickly reverting to that frustrating first-season form. Read full review

Fear’s second season flattens its characters, stifling much of what made them interesting in the first go-round. Read full review

The series fails so spectacularly on the level of characterization that its occasional grace notes, mostly concerning how catastrophe changes the circuitry of family dynamics, feel accidentally stumbled upon. Read full review

Way better than expected. People complaining about it would probably rather see a constant Zombie slashing, instead of authentic characters in a crisis.

They adapt at every turn, ensuring they always do what's necessary to survive, and showing us the depth of their complexity. Overall, it's a compelling second season. The season finale cliff-hanger has left me wanting more. I honestly can't wait to find out what happens in S3 and am thrilled they're making it a couple of episodes longer.… Expand

I am officially done with this show. I thought after a mediocre first season they would have learned from their mistakes and made a real, hardcore, AMC show. But no, once again, they've disappointed. I have seen one episode this season, and that is all I am going to see.

I have given this show two seasons. There are some things I like, some things I do not. Some episodes were extremely compelling. Season two did finally build up to some very good episodes in the end. I do think the show needs more work to survive audiences these days. I think Season threeI have given this show two seasons. There are some things I like, some things I do not.

A complete snoozefest--until the last 15 minutes--and then at least the writing was so bad that it added some unintentional humor to entertain everyone. This is a bad show.

This is horrible... its like a lifetime drama. No suspense just people making dumb decisions or reflecting on their dumb decisions, I honestly never thought a zombie show could be so boring.
