Summary
Reviewers say 'Fear the Walking Dead' receives mixed reception for its unique approach to the zombie apocalypse, focusing on its onset. Character development and emotional depth are praised, especially in later seasons. However, criticisms include slow pacing, inconsistent writing, and weak antagonists. Some find it overly melodramatic and less thrilling than 'The Walking Dead'. The introduction of characters like Morgan is positively noted for revitalizing the show. Despite mixed opinions, many recommend watching from Season 4 for improved storytelling and character arcs.
Featured reviews
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.
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.

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'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.
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.
