While not living up to the standards of ‘The Walking Dead’, I took this for what it was. A stand-alone show exploring the origins of the main show. I, unlike EVERYONE ELSE gave this show a chance. Unfortunately they just couldn't resist shoving the fact that it was a prequel show down our throats with marketing and ‘Talking Dead’. this series isn't terrible. It's on par with season 2 of The Walking Dead. HOWEVER ‘Fear the Walking Dead: Season 2’ which is on TV at the moment is the WORST PIECE OF TELEVISION I HAVE SEEN SINCE Misfits Season 4! It's so bad! Awful acting, terrible directing and pacing, bad bad bad writing and bland characters make for a disastrous piece of trash that nobody should watch. So with season 2 being so revoltingly awful, there's no point in starting season 1.

Unfortunately the biggest issue currently, is despite some strong performances, it's hard to care what happens to anyone as no one really stands out. While it is admirable how boldly Fear The Walking Dead establishes itself in contrast to its predecessor, the slower pace will test the patience of more than just this restless viewer. Spin-offs are always a risky move, an this one has yet to prove it does anything more than milk The Walking Dead's success.
