It was a little slow starting but I will give it a few weeks before I decide
to to keep watching it or take it out of my rotation of shows I watch.
How is this show so far? I used to like the walking dead before it started sucking, Im assuming theres no need for a spin off and this one sucks more. Anyone?

I never got into The Walking Dead so maybe I'm missing something but can anyone tell me how this isn't just a complete copy of it? Is this really as shameless of a move as it seems just based on the commercials? Like seriously, what's the selling point?
Will wait for the whole six episode to be out before watching.
Not expecting .
It was indeed slow to start and I understood that upon reflection. We know what's happening, but, the characters cannot, which begs another question...society has been aware of the zombie presence since Romero went hard on it back in '68, so why do these characters not su ion such behavior when it presents itself?
Eh.
They took their time with it, which is admirable and it reminds me more than a little of the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" where there is a lot of hints, chatter, and props that things are not orderly, something is amiss, but, the characters are too wrapped up in "Friday---Weekend" to get it until it's upon them with a vengeance Saturday morn. Same here, you can watch the foreground & the background for hints of sight & sound that something abnormal is building up in the shallows.
I believe this effort by AMC will do well. Now, they've had their own sweet time making this first one, and the second episode is probably finished as well. After that? It'll be on the tight schedule and we'll see how the quality holds.
Can you believe it though,,,AMC was just utter garbage before they took on the zombie motif. Now, they're aces, money must be rolling in. Gobs of it.
i gave up on the other show. giving this show 6 episodes.
the black guy died first
So I ask again, what's the relation to The Walking Dead? Just different characters and area?
Should have been done years ago, like maybe after the third season. It was surprisingly good. I like how the show is building up to present how a zombie apocalypse would occur. Strong start to an already more interesting show than its parent, TWD.
Same universe, different characters and different area (setting is in LA, not Georgia). It goes back to the beginning of the plague. We get to see patient zero, according to rumors about the show...not sure if patient zero appeared in ep 1.
Weird le tbh....
The acting was forced,,,save "Travis." He's a professional,,,you could see it immediately. The remainder of the cast? A mixture of stereotypical blacks to hold back the black oversight & mad white women who know it all,,,be they 15, or 40.
Refresh me, but, what else did "Travis" do that I'm forgetting?
"Mommy I want to race mix during a zombie apocalypse"
Sheenywood really out did themselves with the cultural Marxism in this one. First off Joanie Stubbs from Deadwood is an overpaid school administrator in an inner city LA school district filled with beans, nigs, and metal detectors. Im sure she would enroll her white children in that school. Shes with some kind of hispanic or something. Then we have her fine mudshark daughter dating this straight up ed looking buck . Oh but for a twist instead of being a monkeyballa hes an "artistic kneegrow painter" going to Berkeley on an art scholarship an shieet.
It must be exhausting watching TV like that.
Wow...did this really become about race almost instantly when this show isn't about interracial relationships? It really shows where your mind is when it concerns you that much to write a paragraph about it or not think anything of it at all. It just shows where the your mind is at. I swear, hatred races through the synapses every millisecond to rationalize delusions you've accepted as reality; a denouement.
Anyway, Maestro Harrell plays her boyfriend who also happens to play on The Wire; season 4 and 5 to be exact. I suppose some of you haven't seen that easily by my perception of your characteristics.
This Fear The Walking Dead is filmed similar to the Walking Dead. Its similar to what they're doing with Better Call Saul. AMC is carefully extending their best shows. I see it as a show that feeds the fans when the Walking Dead is during is off season. It was similar to the beginning of the Walking Dead series. The pacing with pick up eventually. A viewer can infer what the direction of this show is but will this become a joint television show with the walking dead in which they eventually meet the Grimes group or will it form its own separate story line where.
It's was a good show until they put on a black chick walking around with 2,armless gimps. Stopped watching after that stupidity.
You would have to give credit to Mad Men for their ascension. The Zombie motif merely took the torch.
Yes. I forgot about them...I never watched an episode.
Within a quick, 6 month span, AMC original programming laid the foundation we all benefit from. First came Mad Men in the summer of 2007. Then around New Year's came the first half season of Breaking Bad. While early numbers weren't great as far as viewership, the critical acclaim was already building. Eventually word of mouth and continued critical acclaim helped take each show to record Final Seasons. Mid-way through it all came Walking Sead and On Wheels. The former starting strongest of any of their shows.
AMC now fancies itself the HBO of basic cable and gives chances to quality ideas (Halt and Catch Fire), but has its share of swings and misses, the likes of which likely gave rise to its two well thought of, well thought out prequels/spin offs: Fear The Walking Dead, Better Call Saul.
I wish they would purchase the rights to FXs Terriers. That show had a ton of untapped potential.
I thought it was pretty good. Heeee..Heeeeee!!
I tried Breaking Bad and just do not see the appeal.
on Wheels is another period piece set using current culture. I will not do it. It's my religion.
This first episode was awful.
Glad others are sacrificing themselves to the rest of the episodes so I don't have to. Let me know how it is.
Still too slow. For some reason they are really trying to make everyone look dumber than a box of rocks by having them all think these are just sick people instead of figuring they are zombies.
Tonight the military had built a fence around the characters neighborhood and they are in a safe place. Some argued, some cried, some had sex, some got high, no zombies were seen.
The writers of the show said that this story was built on a world where no one ever imagined zombies and that it was a phenomenon never perceived possible by human kind even in films. This is why they don't reference these things in the show and the characters still believe....there is an once of human left in there friends and family after they come back to life.
So you as a viewer have to take perspective of this.
