Fear the Walking Dead

[Classic Jorge]

Finally tracked this down last night and settled in for a little watch. Quite frankly I'm a little disappointed, it feels very developed for telly, a little opportunist and with none of the edge of the original. Which is quite amazing given it's clearly designed to have edge.

Also, there was about three f**king zombies.

It's not even at the level of Z Nation, which is so awful it's actually goone. Fear The Walking Dead is just common-or-garden awful.

Zombies may have jumped the shark.

It's set at the start of infection, right? So are they just going to do an achingly slow series that never develops into the ****show of The Walking Dead?

I'll watch it l8r.

the part of WW Z where it managed to develop without being stopped. Drug use came up but missed the others.

I know it is based on the Comics not the book but they could have tried to make it interesting as there is already a Walking Dead, so why make another?

3/10 imo

in Zombie Flesh Eaters to be precise.

They have the worst, most overacty, young Johnny Depp wannabe - who actually comes off more as a Netto Edward Furlong - in the main role and some other people you just want to see the throats get ripped out of too.

It has drugs in it, which I suppose makes it edgy in a vanilla way, as if dead things eating people wasnt enough.

It seems to be set just before the outbreak takes off but with the infection not spreading at the exponential rate it did in the other show.

And after seven years there's been some less than great ones too

That said that show is ****e, I was prepared to give it a bye as it had the leg mental narrator bloke from Oz in it but he was killed off, so I'm out.

Tbh there should be more drug use in the og. I mean, if I was in an apocalyptic zombie situation I would be getting f-u-c-k-e-d-u-p

to decide it is a huge mess up as it is and turn it into something really nasty going ahead, otherwise I do not see the point of it

You wouldn't catch me being eaten by them. They're rubbish and slow and stupid and ****. Also, after a while, they'd all just be skellingtons, wouldn't they? And a skellington can't walk.

Z Nation has a healthy amount of drug use though, they even got a zombie stoned.

See? So **** it's good

totally self made, self published and, of course, wildly successful to boot.

Hope it gets better, things can take a little while to get going.

Speaking of which - is he actually dead yet. Feels like I read his obituary about 20 times

Made I chuckle, that did.
