From a casual watcher to a diehard fan, everybody knows The Walking Dead gained a reputation of dipping In quality at the start of season 7 and started to pick up a little before the main show bowed out. Fear the walking dead has followed suit. These shows have been on for years yet both shows first few seasons are loved. This is a spin off but a fresh look into the apocalypse across the pond. The cinematography, the world, even the story feels different as we follow a familiar character in unknown waters. The characters are realistic and interesting. The walkers took a slight back seat in the first episode but the interactions kept you entertained. This is the premiere episode of a first season, yes its a spin off but its also its own thing. Dead city relied on the story they built between Maggie and negan to keep you entertained, yet this feels like it's trying to build a new path of its own. Will it all connect together in the end and bring the characters we love back together, who knows! (Probably not) but enjoy it for what it is. A zombie show in a unknown territory with some awesome weaponry. It's a money maker, the same as most franchises, they keep making them because people want to watch them and keep watching them. If you don't like the walking dead or your not happy about these spin offs, plain and simple don't watch them, but don't trash them or the people that actually do enjoy them!
