    Season 4 embodies everything that was wrong with the original show.

    While FTWD throughout season 1-3 was far away from being a perfect show it offered a more brutal and realistic perspective on the zombie apocalypse. Each season proceeding season 4, provided a significant amount of psychological horror, harsh decision-making and true immersion. Season 4 took everything that made FTWD so good and turned it into a bland and boring viewing experience.

    The most astonishing decision made by Gimple was to make Morgan, arguably the weakest link in the original show, the protagonist of the show while downgrading or killing off all the other main characters that the show was based on and the viewers grew attached to.

    Morgan is by far the most boring, uninspiring and repetitive character in the AMC Universe. Since the pilot episode, FTWD has always been about survival and survival by whatever means necessary. The introduction of the Morgan character with his bipolar ethical concerns and his continuous annoying whining provides the viewer base with the complete opposite of what they want from the show.

    A lot of people are mad at the direction the show has taken and a lot of people are going to drop the show. Management at AMC should have kept the original direction and fired Gimple. This is the truth.    … Expand

    What in the hell is this monstrosity? What the fuggity **** have they done to this show? I can't think of any other show that has hit rock bottom so suddenly. I can't think of any other reason for it becoming so horrible other than the writers/producers purposefully trying to ruin it. WHY!? **** you Scott Gimple. Seriously. **** you.

    Morgan is such a childish, moronic, obnoxious piece of garbage BRAT! Everything he ever says or does is either mind-numbingly boring or just insanely cringeworthy and idiotic. The funny thing is, I didn’t think FTWD could possibly get any worse, but oh boy was I f-ing wrong, hahaha. Yikes!

    I've never seen a story end so abruptly. Like a cheerful life extinguished in half an hour. I should have seen it coming, as cancer is one enemy life hardly ever defeats. That cancer was Morgan, whose pathetic and mentally deranged existence spread his defeatist worldview that was, for some reason, spread from the original series to FTWD.

I should have seen it coming, as cancer is one enemy life hardly ever defeats. That cancer was Morgan, whose pathetic and mentally deranged existence spread his defeatist worldview that was, for some reason, spread from the original series to FTWD. The epitome of utter chaos, Morgan killed more characters when he lost his mind than when he was just an unstably violent killing machine. He prevents protagonists from fulfilling their story, and allows antagonists to thrive and wreak unpunished violence. Indestructible, this unrealistic character, so pitifully and boringly acted out, takes the story and characters' development and bins them, without resistance.

    Episode 8 of this season marks the most anticlimactic resolution I have ever seen. Continuous crescendo of the season just stopped. The whole story reset, characters brainwashed, the curse having killed the show, letting it rot as it goes along. 4 seasons creating this vast world, all undone by one character who should not have been in the show in the first place. One scene, one gun being lowered just because the cancer is too strong. No big deal, let's all just eat noodles around a fire until a new evil group arrives, ok?

    There is no point in continuing to watch this mess, characters make no sense anymore, and the plot can freely become a predictable and repeatable bore-fest a la TWD since one character assumes the god-protagonist mantle and determines how all protagonists behave and develop. And he won't die, unlike the show he killed.    … Expand

    Utter rubbish. Don’t waste your time. Couldn’t follow it at all as I was asleep after 10 minutes each episode.

    Remember when “Spoiler Alert” meant that a storyline was about to be given away and a show ruined. Well, now it means something else. Now it means AMC is about to ruin FTWD and TWD a little more, by wasting money on ill conceived and poorly executed visual effects! That money would be better spent on character-building storylines, credible actors, and continuity checking.

I’m finding it increasingly difficult to suspend my disbelief as to why the decision makers of both shows aren’t being sacked. To me, the wrong people are leaving the shows. It won’t be long before all of the good actors are gone. All I can do is hope that Amazon picks up both shows when AMC is finished with them, and breathes new life into what are now, two dead shows walking! … Expand

    Season 4 so HORRENDOUSLY butchered what was an incredible show. It's unbelievable how abysmal this show became after Season 3 ended, and it still saddens me 4 years later. It's like everything that was amazing about FTWD was destroyed immediately. The characters, the cinematography, the dialogue, the storylines, the writing... it all became so incredibly disappointing.

    I really thought The walking dead's 8th season was the rock bottom, it was before watching this one. I can't believe you can do something so bad After an Amazing season like the 3rd one.

    Based on the first two hours, the program does feel somewhat invigorated by the new blood. James is customarily good -- and pained -- striking out on his own, and has nice chemistry with Dillahunt, a cowboy type who provides a more expressive counterweight to his clenched persona. That's grading on a curve, however, for a series whose initial conceit and execution -- chronicling the outbreak on the opposite coast -- has been most notable for its general lifelessness.

    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. [6/13 Apr 2018, p.76]
