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 through the lens of a fractured family. Set in a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high school guidance counselor Madison Clark and English teacher Travis Manawa have managed to assemble. The everyday pressure of blending two families while dealing with resentful, escapist, and strung out children takes a back seat when society begins to break down. A forced evolution, a necessary survival of the fittest takes hold, and our dysfunctional family must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories. Review: Much better than I expected - When this series first started on TV I watched the first two episodes and stopped. To me it seemed like 1) a weak knock-off of TWD; and 2) a soap opera disguised as SF. TWD is spectacular on all levels, incredibly intense. I dislike SF series that have little SF in favor of human family or political squabbles. However, recently noticed that there were 5 seasons available on blu ray. So I thought I'd buy it as a back-up when I got through my blu ray TWD issues. Viewed projected in simulated 3D on a large wall screen (120") with full surround sound turned up high, FTWD is excellent. In its own way, it's as well made as TWD. Plus, the SF (zombie virus, etc.) is at a slow burn that ERUPTS regularly. Also, there were several points in season 1 I felt I knew the predictable, somewhat boring path it would next take only to be totally surprised by a beautifully executed plot twist. it's not quite as brutal as TWD, but it has that same sense of total reality and lurking terror. I'm totally hooked, looking forward to getting into season 2! The background music, characterization, plot twists, awesome background "sets" (particularly of the city), and tension are top-notch. Yes, it was MUCH better than I expected! Bravo! Review: Worth the price and the watch - I knew about a spin off prequel. But never had interest in checking it out (couldn't afford basic cable, to be honest) I decided after watching the walking dead on Netflix to give the prequel a try. Will be ordering season 4&5 next soon. The prequel has been just as good as the original. It has good story telling. It still does not say what started the outbreak. But it's all very rapid, where folks are on the go trying to survive the dead and each other. What I like about the prequel is that your main core group does not stay in one place for long. Constantly moving, running, hiding from folks dead and alive. I like this one character who has changed from this whimpering person. Into a strong leader. It's changed everything and everyone for the better or the worse. Worth the watch and purchase.

Fantastic series
I'm writing this review for season 1 because I figure that is where most people will start like I did. I have since ordered season 2 & 3 (binged them all) and can't wait for season 4 coming out March 5th. It is actually very different from The Walking Dead, there is much more happening and it is far more interesting. Kim Dickens character Maddie is stronger and more badass than anyone on The Walking Dead, so glad I gave this a try!

I tried not to compare it to The Walking Dead because you are automatically going to be disappointed, nothing compare to TWD or
It's real and gritty. I tried not to compare it to The Walking Dead because you are automatically going to be disappointed, nothing compare to TWD or sexy, sexy Rick Grimes. It's the beginning and it shows true human nature, denial, weakness, strength and that life does not wait until you can handle change, it just happens and the true you is revealed in your group think and individual nature. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Surprisingly good, was skeptical about spin offs
Surprisingly good, was skeptical about spin offs, and I will admit some characters you want them to get eaten really soon, but it seems good, a good example of human nature when facing demise and survival.

Zombies - Zombies
I believe 1st spin off of Walking Dead - I really loved this show and wanted to check out a few of the sequels. I have seen seasons 1-4 I like the show - so if you're into zombies - you will love Fear the Walking Dead. Check it out Mann
