Fear the Walking Dead (2015 )
What did the world look like as it was transforming into the horrifying apocalypse depicted in "The Walking Dead"? This spin-off set in Los Angeles, following new characters as they face the beginning of the end of the world, will answer that question.

Spin off series of The Walking Dead that portrays the beginning events of the zombie apocalypse in the West coast during the same time frame when the city of Atlanta was falling under attack, while Rick was in a coma at the local hospital. It shows how the strain was already in full effect in the south while it's just starting in California.

Don't believe the current 8/10 stars; read the reviews
The Walking Dead at least had a strong first season, even if it went back and forth from awful to mediocre from season 2 on. But Fear the Walking Dead stutters and stalls as soon as the light turns green. Everything moved so slowly; after an hour and a half still not much has happened. It could be called character building, but the characters are thin and boring. It could be called drawing out suspense, but we've had multiple seasons of what will be the aftermath of Fear the Walking Dead, so we already know, in a sense, what will happen. There is no tension to draw out. Almost every single plot point in this pilot event was predictable. It felt like it was written by a middle schooler. Boring and predictable. Like The Walking Dead but without any of the beloved characters like Rick or Michonne or Daryl. Doubt I'll be tuning in again.
