Living in the same universe as The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead is a gritty drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse.
Set in a city where people come to bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability schoolteachers Madison Clark and Travis Manawa have managed to assemble for their family. The pressure of blending their two families is put aside as their necessary survival takes hold, and they must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories.

Rubbish, just seems like a cash cow IMO. The lead female character is annoying too.

I love and watch anything Zombie, but this show is pathetic
what should've been a 21 episode exploration of the unravelling of society, basically became a family drama after 3 episodes

Obviously not Blu-ray quality and you get to keep the disc, but if you just want to watch the series, then a month of prime at £7.99 is good value.
Good price for the disc though.

To say there set around the same world some things aren't consistent, for example ,any cities got napalmed during the first few months, but in the walking dead the cities we have seen have all been intact. It's good tho just not on par with the walking dead

I would say it certainly isn't as strong as the 'walking dead' (which I did totally love).
However it certainly is very watchable and it got stronger as the series progressed.
I agree the female lead was a bit annoying; but for me this was more due to her dodgy script lines than her acting.
I think the best thing to do is, look at it as a completely stand alone series.
Don't try and link it to 'The walking dead' because you will just be disappointed.
A lot of the Zombie films out there have similarities and this is no different, especially when comparing it to the walking dead.
Within the zombie genre of films-series I would say it was in the top 50% of what's available and certainly worth getting for a general zombie fan.
But if you are getting it just because you liked the walking dead you may be a bit disappointed.

Not bad.
People seem to forget how slow the walking dead was in the first 2 seasons.
It's set during the time Rick was in a coma so its more based on people coming to terms with zombies (like Rick did in the first season and the Greene family in season 2) and the like as opposed to pure zombies.

It's actually quite good. Not as good but it's not far off.
It's only 6 episodes to Season 1 though.

£14 for 6 episodes is not good value imo.
The show is okay but season 2 hasn't exactly grabbed me. Anyone annoyed by the slow pace and "nothing" episodes of the main show will not be happy with this spinoff as things stand.

yeah I wasn't knocking the deal or anything, and I voted hot. it was just a heads up for anyone just wanting to watch the show who might not have realised.

In my view season 2 starts a little slow especially ep2 :neutral_face: but who knows mabey AMC have decided to do what they did on TWD which was an order of 6/13/16 eps
