Do you have to have watched the original show to understand this?

No I don't think it's necessary to have done so, 'Fear' could be watched as a stand alone. ^_^

 

Really enjoyed the first two episodes! The first episode seemed to get a very mixed response, some saying it was boring, but I didn't think it was. I'm finding it interesting to view it from the very early stages of the apocalypse, how everyone is behaving.

Might give it a watch!

I've just watch the first couple of episodes and I really enjoyed it. I think some people might be disappointed by the slow pace, but that feels more real to me. It wouldn't just suddenly happen overnight. The characters aren't that interesting yet, it will be interesting to see how they react when it all hits the fan.

I like the slow pace for the sake of the show, but it doesn't feel more real to me. In today's society (with the prevalence of social media, etc.) if a zombie outbreak started I think people would know about it almost instantaneously. I mean, when that guy on bath salts attacked that homeless guy a few years back, that was enough for people to start speculating that it was the zombie apocalypse and everyone knew about it within hours. People look for a zombie apocalpyse/are waiting for it :lol: The only way this show would make any sense is if nobody had ever heard of a zombie before. I know sometimes our reactions are different than we think they'd be, but if somebody was reanimated or tried to eat me, I'd probably figure out what was going on pretty quickly!

 

Anyway, I know it's just a show (a show that I'm really starting to enjoy!) but I thought I'd generate a bit of discussion in here.

The season on a whole has been disappointing. I found majority of the characters unlikeable and often annoying more than anything. However, the finale episode was fantastic. I was gutted at the end though! They were the only character that I actually found likeable ALL the way through lmao :(

I found the entire series so f***ing depressing I could hardly enjoy it. I totally saw the death coming, Season 2 will have 15 episodes and the actress practically can't be on two shows with that many episodes.

I too found the series very depressing/boring. I'm not sure I'll bother watching the second series unless I hear any real rave reviews about it. It's all about the original.

Just caught up. Nice enough. I could see her being killed off earlier tbh because she really was going to be useless throughout the next series. Potential love triangle the re-up storyline? The guy needs to stay likeable so no.

 

I don't know how they are going to make this different from TWD now in season 2 tbh.

 

Am I crazy to think the black guy would somehow be connected to the wolves from TWD? I am waiting for some cameos next season :D

Bit late to the bandwagon but this is the latest show I'm getting into! I thought I should watch this just in time for the next season coming out. I have to say, as someone who doesn't generally like zombie things, I haven't seen The Walking Dead so I'm not too sure on what to expect. After just seeing the first episode it looks like something I can enjoy though. I'm a fan of Alycia Debnam Carey so I'm looking forward to see how her character develops in particular as she really showed how great an actress she is in 'The 100' ^_^

 

The Walking Dead has been on my list of things to watch for so long after hearing a lot of good things, It's just something I've not got round to but I'm hoping FTWD will make me want to watch it more :D

:eyes:

Not as good as TWD, I feel a lot less of a sense of danger on it in general but as a distraction to get over the awesomeness of Season 6, Episode 9 of TWD before FINALLY catching up to that show proper, it works.

 

And will hopefully be a lot better next season. Daniel and Strand are the only interesting characters so far, the others need time to develop.

Since I'm all caught up with the main show it was great to be able to go on a mini 6 episode binge, it's really interesting seeing everything at the start and looking forward to Season 2. Kinda hoping that eventually some of the main cast'll feature in FTWD.

I think Greg Nicatero ruled that out almost instantly.

Sunday sees the dead return again.

Finished season one just in time *.*

 

I did really like it but as expected it was quite slow going for the first couple of episodes. It was a little dull in parts and I feel like we never really got much development character wise but it was only a six episode season so I can live with that. I think season two will be a lot better, they've got a good set up going into it and given that it's going to be fifteen episodes, I think we'll get to see a lot more of the characters, I really hope they keep it at a fast pace. Alicia is my fave ofc, I really liked Liza too, fabulous actress that was playing her so

I'm sad we wont be seeing her next season.

I love Nick and Strand too, excited to see more of the latter. Madison annoys me so much though, I don't like the actress playing her, I feel like she had the same expression on throughout the whole season and did nothing but wander about :lol: Travis is also getting on my nerves too. I love Ofelia but idk if I like her dad or not yet :')

 

I think episode five was my favourite, the scene with Alicia on her bike and then her and Chris in the fancy house :lol: :wub:
