This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm giving it a 7 because I loved the first 3 seasons. The atmosphere was amazing and I got what I missed from TWD. I liked that we got to see the early stages of the apocalypse and the fall of civilization. After season 3 they changed directors and the show went to **** I couldn't stand it and its honestly so boring that I gave up on finishing it a couple of times… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think FTWD is really finding itself in the last couple of seasons, especially with Morgan joining the cast. Maybe we will even see Rick reappear in this show since he isn't really dead. Fear isn't TWD but it's a close #2.… Expand

Fear the Walking dead is a fantastic show, in my unpopular opinion it's even better than seasons 1-8 from the walking dead.
Season 3 has to be the best season in Fear the Walking dead and perhaps the best season in the Walking dead universe.Fear the Walking dead is a fantastic show, in my unpopular opinion it's even better than seasons 1-8 from the walking dead.
Season 3 has to be the best season in Fear the Walking dead and perhaps the best season in the Walking dead universe.

Season 4 & 5 are this show's "Season 6-8" the walking dead seasons.
However, after getting through those seasons, Fear the Walking dead shows how great it can be when they fully use their characters.

There are some moments that are absolutely absurd, but they don't take away of the greatness of this cast and the writers.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The series,is good but still have some mistakes,like on season 1 finale we can see,that it would be better if they've never met Victor strand because the show would be a lot more like the main series (the walking dead),in season 2 the episodes about the boat are pretty annoying because there's not a very cool history except for the hijackers.… Expand

As a spinoff it feels somewhat repetative of the main show. However really hits a nice stride in seasons 2 and 3. This all gets disregarded in season 4 onwards and the show is turned into everything bad about the original. Watch season 3 andAs a spinoff it feels somewhat repetative of the main show.

The characters are ratherNote - 3 seasons in. Fear The Walking Dead struggles to find momentum and fluidity, up to the third season, and because of this it falls flat and becomes rather uninteresting and as a viewer it feels disengaging. The characters are rather dull and plain with no real depth to them - the only case in which this can't be said for is Nick, quite possibly the only character in this show who is interesting. Furthermore, the main story feels rather bare and doesn't move at a fluid rate with a number of filler episodes. The main plot points and storytelling show promise and can be engaging but there are plenty of times where this isn't the case. If I were you I'd give this show a shot but don't go in expecting a well written, engaging and interesting show.… Expand

The show was great up until season 4, then everything went downhill from there.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I find myself frustrated with this show. I remember a huge appeal of this spin off series was seeing the fall of society. However, by the time episode 4 starts. Zombies are already common and society is mostly over. I feel this show jumped the gun and speed through their very interesting time period to just be the west coast walking dead. Regular walking dead was already a zombie action series everyone wanted. I just wished fear was a slow burn that took it's time. Episode 1 for example is a masterpiece… Expand

While I like some of the ideas and events I just can't get myself to really care for any of the characters so I'm not too invested in what happens to them. Like oh so and so died...how sad?

Like oh so and so died...how sad? They just didn't do too good of a job making these characters memorable in my opinion or enough to make me care for them.

But I don’t know maybe it's just me and my family who are having a hard time liking/relating to them?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Now in stark contrast to the gold standard original series Walking Dead, this spin off lacks the soul and substance of the parent serial. The characters lack empathy and maturity, and act in very cold ways that are real turn offs. It’s almost like a gallery of villain survivalists. Spoiler warnings - stop reading past this point if you did not see Season 1 Episode 6.
--- you were warned ---
I usually do not spill the beans on a set of characters but this group, Mr. Manawa and the gang are a bunch of despicable characters. After torture they extract unverified information that may not be a direct threat, yet they take a vicious series of actions. They abandon their neighbours to their fate, no warning no opportunity, and they waltz off to release a horde on a base of soldiers and refugees, with no concern for any innocents who might be destroyed in the wake of their sabotage. Such a horde was called a nuke by Michonne in Walking Dead season 9 - how the hell am I supposed to emphasize with these people after their act? Not only that, individually they are a bunch of insipid navel gazers who don’t really rise up to sacrifice for each other, they are driven only by self-preservation instincts, a cornerstone of which is abandonment of loved ones and innocents. In addition, the actions of the US military are truly despicable. Knowing full well the infection is continent wide, they chose to abandon the population they swore to protect, and then to commit genocide on the same. This type of civilization deserves to collapse. I will continue to watch the series for horror and shock factor, but I might cheer when any of this motley bunch dies, unlike the gut punch sorrow of the loss of beloved characters in Walking Dead. --- end of rant ---… Expand
