    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 show is painful to watch. It takes everything you like about the original The Walking Dead, and **** on it... very, very slowly. I hate this mess. And if it gets cancelled, you just KNOW they are going to pull that "It was only ever meant to be two seasons anyway!" **** FLOP.

    To put it bluntly, this spinoff sucks. I stopped watching it. The actors are not invested in their roles. This may be due to direction. Only one character stands out and that is Reuben Blades. He is a consummate actor. The Meredith character has one facial expression. The kids are just annoying and that scene on the beach when they are going through the debris from the plane wreckageTo put it bluntly, this spinoff sucks. I stopped watching it.

The Meredith character has one facial expression. The kids are just annoying and that scene on the beach when they are going through the debris from the plane wreckage was like watching a scene from the old "Beach Blanket Bingo". The whole production seems like a task given to a bunch of people who weren't on board with this project from the get go. Either up your game or pull the plug. You're embarrassing yourselves.… Expand

    Boring in every sense of the word. I'm just going to stick to The Walking Dead comic from now on, which continues to be amazing. TV versions of The Walking Dead is simply inferior, and I'd rather just read the best version of the story and these iconic characters.

    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.

    Fear the Walking Dead has cheapened the franchise in so many ways. Ranging from poor logic in character and story, easy scriptwriting and replicated thematic points from the original.

    This is far more useful to detect shills (idiots giving reiviews for money/favor), than actually figuring out that Kirkman is an idiot and that Frank Darabont is the only reason the original show is as popular as it currenly (though soon to be massively declinining) is. IGN is one of the most paid-for-reviewers out there they they could not help but give this an 8.5.

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

    Its first installments are off to a shaky start, with too much emphasis on ultimately pointless diversions and not enough on the potentially rich blend of character dynamics the series seemed well on its way to exploring by the end of last season.

    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.
