Season 1 Review: This is not a perfect series: The shots of the undead often look cheap and the rules of how these monsters are evaded have never felt more loosely applied. And yet there’s a willingness to reinvent, to genuinely probe a corner of the universe previously untouched, that makes this series feel serious in its intent and, for fans of the forerunning series, well worth checking out.

Season 1 Review: A focus on younger, female characters buys “World Beyond” a somewhat fresh take initially but by the end of the first hour sisters Iris (Aliyah Royale) and Hope (Alexa Mansour) take off on a distaff “Stand by Me”-style quest to rescue their scientist father with two nerdy boys in tow.

Season 1 Review: We’re not sold on The Walking Dead: World Beyond just yet, though we like Royale and the rest of the cast. We’re just not sure we care enough about the zombie apocalypse or these young characters to follow their journey. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Those of us who tune in to the other two shows in the franchise have already been here, seen this — and we’ve seen it done with greater artfulness, efficacy and urgency. Adding this third series to the rotation, even temporarily, feels more than a little bit like beating an undead horse. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Nothing about it is essential, or even that interesting. Diehards might enjoy it, simply because it promises to deliver exactly the same stuff they’ve been watching for the last 10 years. Everyone else can safely give it a pass. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It should come as no surprise that after 10 seasons of zombie apocalypse drama on The Walking Dead and five seasons following the same madness in a different location on its spinoff, Fear the Walking Dead, AMC further extended its doomed landscape into another era with The Walking Dead: World Beyond. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. Does it work? Meh, sometimes. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” does not live up to its potential. It is underachieving. It simply will not apply itself. Read full review

After only one episode, I can't say for sure if this series will be good or if it'll flop. I'm cautiously optimistic.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I don't totally disagree that aspects of this story (so far) have been told before in TWD/ Fear the Walking Dead, but it also seems like this show may provide some answers about the mysterious other people that have been briefly shown in the other two shows—which is very exciting. It also seems likely that this show will intersect with the others at some point as well. Looking forward to more!… Expand

Okay, hear me out. I started watching this spinoff series as the original one had gone on hiatus. Like many others have felt, the first two episodes seemed like a teenage “Goonies” version of The Walking Dead. I would have rated it a 3 at most at that time. I kept watching anyway. ByOkay, hear me out. I started watching this spinoff series as the original one had gone on hiatus. Like many others have felt, the first two episodes seemed like a teenage “Goonies” version of The Walking Dead. I would have rated it a 3 at most at that time. I kept watching anyway. By episodes 4 or 5, the characters were really starting to develop; and their intertwining backstories were becoming very intriguing. Additionally, the entrance of Felix and Huck provided an “adult” element that gave the show some needed weight. By episode 8, with plot twists really starting to emerge, some great writing/acting, and more revelations about what was going on; I was hooked. With the entire season complete, I have to give this show at least an 8. In ways, it’s better than the original. Hopefully, others will come around as I have and keep this great story going. Cheers...… Expand

Incredibly dull star. Flat and predictable characters. Plot is clear before they take the action. And its just not engaging. Maybe I'm not young and hip enough but this doesn't click for me.

It's a stupid show about stupid teenage kids that grew up in safety and then go out in the world. Judged by the world established in the original twd they would last 2 days. But they somehow have made it across several states without seeing any hords or seriously bad People like in the original twd! Their stupid plot armour keeps them out of trouble. AND 6 episodes in non can actually kill walkers. Even though there are now 2 adults with them they both don't seem taugh at all they can kill walkers but that's about it.… Expand

Shallow characters compound stiff, inexperienced, and generally poor acting making this series a complete cringe fest to watch. The only thing that keeps me engaged is wanting to learn more about the mysterious CR. Perhaps the Stranger Things kids could give these guys a pointer or two. Yikes.
