I've been a fan of The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead since the beginning. Even though the original Walking Dead is the better of the two, Fear still holds its own and is definitely worth watching. There are people who complain and hope that it gets canceled. I'll never understand why people root for a show to get cancelled...just stop watching it. Why root for it to go if a lot of people still like it, all you have to do is change the channel. There are a few down seasons like 4 and 5 but it picks back up again in a big way with season 6. It's coming to an end after this upcoming season and even though I still enjoy the show, it's time for it to come to an end. If you're a fan of this genre then this is a must watch.

I have been captivated by this series especially after the character development was completed. I preferred original TWD, but after Morgan's crossover this series really took off. I hung in there to the end, including the final season when IMDB ratings dropped, like a ton.
To me, that final season was somewhat disappointing, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Those characters deserved a good ending, with all the drama the main WD series provided in spades. They got that.
One complaint I did have was the continual previews (spoilers that is) during every commercial. Why would you do that? Other shows do it too much as well, but the WD shows led the way. I realllly dont like spoilers.
But I did like this show. Don't let the walkers & some blood stop you. It's really not too gory. The character development is well worth the journey.

I have to agree with many reviewers here in that watching a group of incredibly stupid survivors of a zombie holocaust is torture. It's one bad storyline after another and the actors know it. There's very little for them to work with and subsequently the acting is subpar. Fire every writer and every director and start over; you can't do any worse.
If you are watching Season 5 currently and find it boring, please don't stop watching!! Season 6 might be the best season so far! I'd love to give it a 10 but there were some boring episodes in Season 4-5, but season 6 just entered the competition!

Wow. It's amazing to see how the writing and scripts evolved from season 5 to 6. Morgan was explosive at the start of season 6. It's amazing season 6 is reviving the show. Now Fear has managed to maintain a good streak. The most incredible parts influence how tense they managed to make the chapters with very good performances and incredible direction, the characters are no longer annoying and now they usually make good decisions normally, Season 6 is better than Seasons 7 and 8 of The Walking Dead. If you keep this up, you can even replace the main series when it's finished.
In my opinion it deserves an 8.4/10 because they managed to get out of a bottomless abyss. In summary: Season 6 is an 8.8/10, good development, good plot twists, good direction, good effects, good performance and the plot which implements is engaging, since the characters are mostly not annoying, but it has moments that are not memorable and are often simply boring. GOOD WORK :D.

What began as a very slow pace blossomed into a Walking Dead iteration that fans can enjoy!
It is a shame that it began slow, but it is a challenge to start a prequel (albeit with different characters and different geographical location) to an established show.
While it was indeed a slow start, it was very watchable in my opinion. You see how our characters cope with the sudden building crisis and the eventual breakdown of government and the rest of society.
We watch as a family struggles to regroup and how they are affected by the Zombie Apocalypse. Like the source show, we see the painful reality as friends and family succumb to the world of the undead.
The pace did kind of slow down again towards the end of the series, but not as slow as the beginning.
If you are a fan of The Walking Dead, if you have the patience to get through the slow first season, this iteration will be a delight.

It's a real shame that most people rate shows on a "0 or 10" scale. Most of the complaining I hear about this show stem from people wanting it to be more like TWD. If you'd like to see something that is not TWD, but exists in the same universe--I think that's called a "spin-off"--then this show is that. Different places, different faces. Some of the characters make dumb choices, some are boring, and some are annoying. Viewers really seem to hate "realism" despite always screaming for it.
It's not perfect. I could gripe about the things I don't like, but they are minor when compared to the fact that I'm really enjoying watching how things progressed while Rick was in a coma. It offers nothing in the way of explaining the zombies (that's a good thing), but is showing really well how panic and mobs of humans actually paved the way for zombies to swoop right in and eat everyone.
If you want to enjoy this show, turn off your silly expectations about it being like TWD, and just watch while convincingly-real and flawed humans deal with a fast-moving crisis that no one seems to understand. It's easy for viewers to forget that these new characters don't have years of experience in the zombie world, so it just looks like some weird virus that makes people crazy and hard to kill. 7/10

Anyone finding the story and plotlines ridiculous? The last seasons of these shows and final episodes make less sense than anything previous. As usual, all good things must end, and so they shall.

Honestly such a shame that S4&5 were so bad. Because S6 is FANTASTIC! Would have loved to have seen the show continue where it left off at S3 and use S6 as the Morgan intro but then again I feel as if we are being treated with S6 after suffering throughout S4&5, however in reality it's just because Scott Gimple (show runner for S4&5 of fear and S7&8 of twd) ruined those seasons just like S7&8 of the main show, as soon as he leaves both shows they become good again... Just hoping S7 is going to be just as good - if not better!
Let the haters hate. I admire the captivity of the post-apocalyptic world that TWD has set. Most of us were lost after season 7 when TWD had turned into this melodramatic soap opera. Come on guys...
But I am glad that Fear TWD kept me down as a fan of the walking dead saga. Nick, Strand, Alycia are such fine actors and they shun in this show. Thankfully they played their characters with such conscience and meticulousness that it shows in their performances. So convincing, so believable and yet flawed at the same time. I just love the crew that they have built up now in season 5 and beyond. I will not name any names but thanks to everyone from the cast, crew, writing, art direction and the effects. Please keep it up. You have saved TWD saga and while that show has lost its charm due to dragging out stories and unnecessary side characters that didne possess an ounce of personality. You guys have kept it different, kept it fresh and impactful. I salute you all for your hard work.

Ok I see a lot of hate and yea season 4 kinda was a drag but this latest season has dramatically picked up. Definitely has potential and if they keep going like this I hope for a season 7.

This would be an awesome show if:
#1 if this group of people weren't once again falling under the rule of some other idiot in this case a couple of teenagers. Furthermore: take the head off the snake when you have the first 10 chances and end it instead of just letting it drag on episode after episode. It's all the same antagonists doing all the same things to all the same characters. Try something new, after over 20 seasons spanning multiple TWD universes.
#2 Kill off Morgan, worst character ever. He's more annoying than Rick Grimes who spent most of his episodes talking and basically getting everyone killed. He's just a terrible character.
#3 So far this season is the epitome of one season too many. It may have been better if it didn't revolve around Morgan and his "Issues" get over it.

..... just end the series already.
Season 7 is nonsense.. no real storyline... it is as if they wake up each Monday and decide what the next episode should be... as if they are writing it off-the-cuff in a high school drama department without any "seasonal" outline or history of the past seasons. Or a sense that any character came from the main show thus history of their time on The Walking Dead either.
At this point it's more of comedy of errors than anything else. It just keeps getting more and more unrealistic, convoluted, and illogical.
Season 7 Episode 14, Divine Providence, so clearly shows the entire issue with the writing and how characters are not written like *real* people. It's really become "soap opera" writing with illogical 180° turns in character motivations within the span of 20 minutes (seriously). Kill Him! No Trust him! No Kill Him! No Trust Him! No Kill Him. On top of that, there are CLEAR continuity errors in episode 14 -- watch for Alicia using her "missing hand" to grab someone's rifle, then make a fist with it immediately afterwards.
------------------
And it seems season 7 meant nothing.. without spoilers.. they start an ENTIRE NEW STORYLINE the last episode of season 7. Episode 16 of season 7 (the finale) has NOTHING to do with the previous 15 episodes in the season. One could literally watch the season 6 finale, then immediately jump to the season 7 finale and not have missed anything. No one of any importance dies and nothing of major consequence happens in the first 15 episodes of season 7. They are largely a waste of time and padding so everyone can get paid for them.
"Lazy writing" is an understatement.
-------------------
Season 8 thus far (seen 3 eps) is merely a lesson in how to write a soap opera when one ignores ALL logic.
Season 8 has been much worse than season 7... I'm only watching it because it's been announced as the last season.

- Prevent children from losing parents..... by taking them away from parents... so they lose their parents
- Travel from the west coast of the US (Padre) to King County Georgia (where Morgan met Rick in The Walking Dead) in the blink of an eye - where are they hiding the teleporters???
- HUGE time leap.... but no one has aged except children.
- A scar on Dwights face that, after years, now appears like it's a fresh wound and NOT a scar at all - I've never seen a SCAR that's deeply multi-colored after a decade.
Season 8 has been much worse than season 7... I'm only watching it because it's been announced as the last season.
The second half of season 4 and season 5 weren't the best, but season 6 looks very promising! I was starting to give up with the show, but it's back and I'm starting to love it as I did before. Definitely worth watching again!

Nick's character & Strand's are the ONLY two that I liked, everyone else was annoying. HOW you going tell someone what you going to do at their place or on their boat......or NOT listen when the world is going to hell. I spent a lot of time rolling my eyes at the rest of the cast but I LOVE Morgan & zombies too.
So far season 7 is the worst, and that's saying a lot. Strand and Morgan have become the main characters. How does that happen? You are writing and directing this show into cancellation!!! The only good/like able characters have been killed off or have disappeared. I'm hoping this season gets better. Killing off Strand, Morgan, and Grace would be really great.

Man the first three seasons were so enthralling, I almost enjoyed them as much as the original show! And then season 4 happened and there was a noticeable shift in writing and the storyline was not as cohesive and easy to follow. Too much jumping back and forth in time making it incredibly complicated and leaving me scratching my head and wanting to throw in the towel! It did feel like an end of an era after season 3 and season 4 and beyond are definitely an acquired taste with a lot of new characters and silly storylines. I guess that's why the ratings have gone down in the series is finally coming to an end!
