Wasn't Fear the Walking Dead shit from the beginning?
The whole premise was that they would show the outbreak and society’s downfall, as it was skipped over in The Walking Dead. That’s how the series started as well.
Then they skipped over big parts of it again, making the series just like The Walking Dead but with even worse characters.
Didn't deliver what it promised and season one was pretty rough. Season two was better. Season three was shockingly good, as in easily the best season of both shows. Then they gave the showrunner the boot so they could put Gimple on it and he ran it into the ground for season four, which was fucking awful. Don't know what happened after that because I don't think I finished the season.
How good is season three? Better than TWD season one? I really wanted to like FTWD but didn't make it past episode 3.
From what I remember:
Season 5 was even worse, but at times it was "so bad it's good", so it was entertaining in an unintended way. Watch it to laugh at the mind-blowingly bad writing 😂 I wonder what drugs they had in that writer's room...
Season 6 actually had some really good moments/episodes in the first half, but then it fell apart again.
Season 7 was mostly nonsense, and I stopped watching after the second to last episode.
Maybe one day I'll watch the rest (season 8 was the last)...
Season 8 was hot fucking garbage. One of the only shows I straight up refused to finish because of just how bad the last season was. Made it halfway and called it quits, had the stupidest "twists" I've ever seen in a show.
Dont know how I even made it that far, was tempted to stop at 7 but figured I came far enough I may as well see it through.
Bad decision.
