And they all must have a damn tracker or something. How do they find the person they are looking for in the entire goddamn US? This show after season 3 became such a horrible joke.

[@ulvesparker]

Also, anyone getting shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned to death is not necessarily dead. They will reappear later, having changed sides/loyalties, and no matter how they betray their former comrades or indeed attempted to kill the, they will be forgiven and reaccepted. All children are backstabbing, murderous snakes. At least three times per episode, people will point guns at each other, threatening to shoot, but will not shoot. Similarly, characters will get captured, and then suddenly make a move that disarms and recaptures their weapon,turning the tables. It happens so often, it is now comical. Thanks for the re-cap because I gave up on the show a year ago.

[@Angelface11]

No...that is twd..fear was very different and all over the place. I loved a few seasons of it

[@perfectallycromulent]

8 seasons? that's how the original show went for 11 seasons too.

[@llamadamus]

the whole show just taught me to abandon every kid you run into and never never give them a gun. every character i liked ends up dying or getting shot by a damn kid. it pissed me off that they kept just willing giving them guns even after they just shot one of there companions. the worst contender being charlie and tracy.

[@kaic3532]

Charlie had a hood reason for what she did and Tracey was getting revenge plus, be made up for it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fear started off so strong, it was so intriguing to watch it all kick off. But the characters losing and finding each other lost steam really quickly and when Morgan came over it just lost all sense of what it could be. Shame for what could have been a great show.

[@dude...are-you-sure]

Thats one trick the story writers used to death. Resurrection of dead previously thought were killed. They even somehow resurrected Daniels cat? Like wow... OK... Happy ending for everyone.

[@doggiethepug]

I feel like this show was a cinematic masterpiece between Seasons 1 and 4 when Dave Errickson was still showrunner. It felt so good. Then, subsequently when the intro changed from the old Fear TWD one to the new one with the siluettes, that's actually when the show changed from being Fear to being a TWD Fantasy setting. Airplanes, nukes, fast traveling, magic, etc etc. I still like the show but there have been glaring issues with it for the second half of the show's existance.

[@DarylMCDeath]

Hell no! S1-3 was some of the worst TV I ever saw! The Combination of Dickens, Curtis and Henrie was really unnatural! Bad Acting! I was so happy when they cleaned the house! Should have kept Dilane though!

As many ups and downs this show had, the poison episode was genius. Watching them come to grips with dying together was such a clever plot device

There are only a few episodes from FTWD that are still vividly in my memory after watching this show for so many years. That poison episode and the one where the people suffocate in the bunker & have to sacrifice themselves (from the same season in Brokejaw) were some of my favorite episodes. Season 3 was easily the best season.

Its crazy how the military got destroyed by slow moving zombies. While other series like "All of us are dead" has faster, stronger, sensitive smelling and hearing abilities. But the military handled them which was in Korea. While America has best military and got overrun.

[@espenstoro]

This is my biggest issue with the entire TWD universe. I just can't buy that premise. When a small bunch of famished people with sticks and knives can take out countless walkers, that just seems way too unbelievable. There's no military that would have a problem here, you'd have a harder time with regular angry drunks on a saturday night. Trying so hard to look past that, but it's a challenge.

[@VirgilZandig]

​@@espenstoroIf it was just the already dead rising, it'd be ridiculous. When you add in people hiding their bites and anyone dying of any cause turning into zombies, it's more realistic that the military would fall. At least as realistic as you can get when talking about zombies.

[@suriyaphromnopavong5272]

@@espenstoro based on when it started back in 2010, there were over 300 million people in the US, which makes the general population about 200x larger than the 1.5 million active duty military members at the time. factoring in that a good chunk of our military is overseas, it's very plausible that the members at home get overrun in a hurry.

[@skirmisher1901]

In this universe the concept of a "zombie" doesn't exist, so by the time people come to grips with what exactly is happening, infected people have already unwittingly broken into military ranks.

[@antoniobrandao7139]

I also thought that but once I saw how we behaved during the pandemic I can safely assume we'd be f*cked, specially in a world with no previous concept of zombies. Military or no military.

[@only._me]

For me the show really fell off after killing it’s best characters like Nick and John Dorie for no real story reasons other than shock factor, similar to how Glenn’s death was handled in main series. But I also understand that their actors were wanting to move on to different things. Just wish they handled their characters and their deaths better

Before nick quit the show, the original season 3 was going to be about the proctors getting revenge and kill one of Madison kids, which would make her become a villian later. It's possible they were going to use her as alpha originally.

For me personally the show went downhill after nicks death. I really liked his character. Him being an addict in the apocalypse was interesting. I also really loved that it took place in l.a then went to Mexico. So much potential. Then it was all about "killing" characters just to bring them back at a later time.

[@jtrapp651]

agreed i know the actor wanted off the show, but they should have just had him be captured or something so he could probably come back later at some point

[@butterflybunnyunicorn2518]

agree. it sucks that the only reason he died was because the actor didn't want to do the show anymore, I hate when that happens specially when the character is so important and likeable, same thing happened with Juliette Lewis in Yellowjackets, one would think these actor's contracts would include clauses that forbids them from leaving a show just because.

The most unrealistic part is choosing to go back to California after you’ve gotten out in the first place

[@DrTomoculus]

I lost interest when Nick was no more. Fear the Walking Dead had literary aspirations. The book "Winesburg, Ohio" by Sherwood Anderson, not only features in the first episode, but almost serves like a guideline to what happens to Nick and his family, as we decide who are the true grotesques. Nick was our view on all that was happening. And whether some of these characters, villains in many ways, could find some redemption. I liked it more than The Walking Dead. TWD has absolute heroes and villains. FTWD, anyone could be a hero. Even if they were a villain.

[@lborg960]

I hated Nick being killed, especially just by a little girl.

[@JJJBunney001]

Strand and morgans flip flopping personalities were just frustrating.

I do really like the ideas covered per season of fear The Walking Dead (the Western and Nuke seasons were so cool), the problem arises when all the characters are one note. Most characters are introduced for their season and have no purpose after that. Thhs for the final season they bring back the 'golden era' of the cast. And why did they have fake out deaths (especially for Madison) every 2nd episode near the end of the show? Can we not just let their story conclude instead of not seeing them or them 'dying 100 times?
