Tales of the Walking Dead

Ok, so final verdict. Tales of the Walking Dead is a bit campy and doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes the lackluster acting almost tolerable. The story itself turned out to be not too bad, albeit somewhat corny. Next week, it looks like it has the same undertones. Almost silly. If they do it well, it'll be something to watch, as long as you don't expect any real suspense like we've come to expect with its predecessors.

Conclusion? If you go into this with zero expectations and you do NOT compare it to TWD, it's a watchable show. I don't see it winning any awards, but I almost enjoyed how bad it was. This really is one you have to judge for yourself. Some people will love it, some will hate it, some will be right in between. But don't listen to other reviewers, try it yourself and form your own opinion.

Its not unwatchable, nothing like that. However it does not add much value to TWD universe. If you see it as a standalone thing, and not a piece of the puzzle, it doesnt stand.

After all the attempts, I have a feeling that the next really good content would have to fast forward untill new fully developed (and yet promitive) societies have emerged, a completely new setting with new opportunities for plots, drama and action. As long as its characters vs other characters in the setting dominated by walkers, I am afraid we have seen it all already.

I usually don't write reviews but after seeing the other reviews here I find this is getting tp much hate.. I Stopped watching TWD years ago but this concept seemed interesting to me, not following the same group of people all the time with stretched out drama like TWD.

So far only seen the first 2 episodes and like my title says it has potential and will watch at least the first season.

They did something new, and it's kinda cool.

It's way better that the filler episodes of the main show.

The action scenes are edited poorly, so it's only the story and the cinematography to enjoy.

But overall, it's a good experiment, fun to watch.

After the first two episodes, I have found them quite enjoyable to watch. Doesn't seem to have quite the same budget as the original, but that's fine. The acting was decent and the plots were engaging, even if the second one did seem to leave the reality of the premise of the originals, but then again, how realistic are zombies.
