    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 thought I'd give it another try but it's off to a pretty boring start, just as last year's season was. The Walking Dead already feels as if we're all trapped in an abusive relationship & this series continues to give no compelling reason why it should even exist. They save on production expenses to give us walking (sailing now) and talking, so much cool possibility stretched out to theI thought I'd give it another try but it's off to a pretty boring start, just as last year's season was.

    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 three can make or break the show. I hope the writers give some of these talented actors great material to work with.

    I liked the vibe and pace of Season 1 and thought things would pick up a bit for Season 2. But the pace has got a tad slower with almost zero progression in story. It's almost as if TWD team decided to let the interns run FtWD to get episodic television experience. The real problem with FtWD is the cast for the most part are unlikeable and possess no sense of urgency to the situationI liked the vibe and pace of Season 1 and thought things would pick up a bit for Season 2.

The real problem with FtWD is the cast for the most part are unlikeable and possess no sense of urgency to the situation they're in. It would be good if the cast (except for maybe Nick & Strand) got killed off and some better actors/characters came on board. I think what would also help is if somehow there was a character connection between TWD & FtWD, say a long-distance relative or something to keep TWD fans like me vested in FtWD. Not sure why FtWD decided to take a "mid-season" summer break because this show isn't all what they think it's cracked up to be. I can see viewership dropping like walkers before the series resumes.… Expand

    The characters are interesting and a select few are even likeable. The show looks nice but is really just a hit or miss. The first half of the season was boring except for a few parts, but it was able to pick up at the end. The show isn’t bad, but it is just barely good. An improvement on the first season for sure, but still not quite living up to the potential.

    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.
