A series with a lot of strange plot twists that are actually really neat. I can't talk about them at all because it will spoil the show. I've been watching this since 2014, seven years ago. When I started watching this I was in my late 20s. Now I'm in my mid 30s. This is a CW show. Yes there is teen drama/romances. Yes it does start out cheesy. But it gets DARK. This show really evolved. I almost didn't stick with it the first several episodes because it just seemed like another corny teen show. However, I was pretty desperate for anything science fiction, and still am.
So I gave this a chance. I have friends who gave it up after 1, 2 or 3 episodes, and claim it is garbage. Well, sadly they are wrong. They didn't see all the really fascinating avenues this show went with.
The acting gets a lot better. It's funny, I actually go back now and then and look at season one and laugh. Season 1 wasn't its best, by a long shot.
Now, about the science. There is some really fake science in this show. This may annoy you. It annoyed me and I almost stopped watching it at THAT point because of it. But again, desperate for some science fiction I continued. I just accepted the bad science and moved on. I'm sure they could have made the show more believable in these regards, but chose not to, for their own reasons.
This show becomes about the people, their relationships and the hunger to survive at all costs. Often survival involves Raven, who I love, doing something with engineering or technology. It's super cheesy, very fake, but I dunno, I guess I just love the show for the people and let a lot slide at this point.
There is some really amazing acting in this show as it progresses. Alycia Debnam-Carey for one was amazing, and I watched Fear the Walking Dead because she was in. Such a talent. I loved Raven/Clarke/Bellamy and was blown away by the evolution of John Murphy. The cast of this show got better and better at acting as it went. It really impressed me.
Some didn't like the final season apparently. I actually found it kind of interesting myself. I won't lie that my eyes may have been a touch damp in the end. I really loved this show and hated to see it end, but at least it ended properly and didn't get cancelled like so many, and often better, shows do. It should be part of any shows contract that a studio dedicate at least one or two episodes to finalizing any series that they cancel But with this show, you get an ending. An ending that I think could have maybe been conceived a little better, yes, but it wasn't too bad. I left the show feeling pretty satisfied.
I hope the actors and actresses go onto other things, because there is a lot of talent here. I cannot emphasize this enough. By season 7 you really get an idea for how far the acting has come.
