Plot
Set in Los Angeles, California, the series follows a divorced male teacher, a female guidance counselor, and her two children - a son and a daughter - in the opening stages of the zombie apocalypse as they come to terms with the impending collapse of civilization.
The zombies in Fear the Walking Dead (FTWD) don't look old and weathered like the zombies in The Walking Dead because FTWD is telling what happened prior to The Walking Dead, so the zombies are still "fresh."

this actually looks a lot more interesting to me than the Walking Dead did when it originally came out

i'd like a zombie series where the survivors actually had survival skills....navy seals, army rangers, something. it's always random people who can barely function and i am supposed to believe that guys who had guns, protection, training, super fit, and super ready to kill are all dead, but the pussy school teacher somehow survives
like seriously....if we all looked ourselves in the mirror, we probably arent making it through some doomsday zombie event, but the guy who stock piled canned food, water, guns, ammo, clothes, etc and has a fucking bunker probably gonna make it

That would be cool for a while but would get boring fast. To some degree, they could be more prepared for sure, at least walking dead's main character is a trained sheriff. I suppose you can find that in zombie movies like world war z or i am legend, generally there's some kind of survival/military aspect there. There are probably less preppers in cities per 100k & especially major ones than anywhere else and that's where the mayhem is. It's also really hard to be fully prepared and store all the stuff you need while living a city life. I think what's more annoying is that nobody knows what a zombie is in 2015, at least in movies they can disregard that BS and just pummel in 1hr 30 of intense zombie action

Don't bring that bullshit into this new thread. It's a waste of space and it doesn't belong here.
Watch the first episode of FTWD, then give your feedback.

Yeah, first episode was just okay.
It was the first episode of a show that is telling what happened in Los Angeles when the outbreak first started, so I expected more drama and less action. Episode two will probably introduce more characters and people turning into zombies. I expect multiple deaths in episode 3 or so. I guess it all depends on how long it takes the sickness to spread.
It was pretty boring, I expected much more, uninsteresting characters, I couldn't care less about that whole family, meh.

Were a lot of moments where I'm like "yup that guys gonna die and be a zombie" but it would always be a tease. was kind of boring in a way, but also kept me thinking a little. Don't like the actress playing the mom. Everyone else seemed alright. I like the obama lookalike principal for whatever reason.

Tonight's episode (episode 2) was decent, much better than episode 1. They didn't fuck around and drag out the action until episode 3 like I thought they were going to do.

Speaking of The Strain, how is it now? I kinda fell off, it started kinda cool and interesting I remember, then became worse and worse, and yeah, became poop!!
Oh, watched first two of this show. First ep, pretty boring, 2nd, a little more action. But don't feel any of the characters, all a bit "meh"!!
^^^ as far as "the strain" goes the wheels have completely fallen off and it's at this stage where the writers can get away with anything since the viewers are already invested in that piece of crap. Here's just one example: the main protagonist probably had a sudden hair loss problem since he suddenly appeared bald in the middle of the second season which makes me think that he was wearing a rug in the first season - it's that ridiculous now (still watch for whatever reason lol)
he looks like a different person and for the casual viewer you would think the main actor disappeared all of a sudden

It can't be as bad as "Falling Skies."
The season finale for Falling Skies was last Sunday, and it fucking sucked. It was on for 5 seasons, and I kept watching it because I was already invested in it. This final season was dumb as fuck, and you could tell they were trying to save money along the way by having 3 or so filler episodes...

My mom recommended it... I watched all 3 fucking seasons it was bad at first and it just kept getting worse, theres a point where you feel "plot commited" but fuck it, im quitting Falling Skies, its garbage.

Season 4 was decent, but Season 5 just sucked.
Knowing that it was their last season, it seemed like the writers didn't care much. This happens with some shows during their final season. I'm just glad I'm not plot-committed to Falling Skies anymore. I only started watching it cuz I'm a fan of Noah Wyle.
Yea, the strain is beyond terrible. I'd never recommend that show
I'm enjoying this show but I really wish they knew what zombies were. It's supposed to be a realistic modern environment and everyone in that environment knows what a zombie is and the general rules of engagement, especially in america. Also, lol @ no gun at home.

Ah, ep 3, it got to much, it's to shit, gave it a fair shot, won't be following more, only junkie is kinda okay, it's just so boring and shit most of the time. Was painful and realized "hey, I can just turn it off yay".
So yay!!
But NARCOS, omg, that show was soooo fkn good *feints*

The show is starting to get better, but yeah, I agree that it currently isn't a great show. That being said, I only watch shows on HBO and AMC, as they have the best shows, and all of the best shows are on "vacation" right now.
After this show is over, The Walking Dead will return, so I'll keep watching this show just cuz I'm already 3 episodes into it (They only planned to have 6 episodes, iirc).

Looks like they'll keep doing these 6-episode seasons so they can build up to each new season of The Walking Dead. Kinda smart.
There's also this YouTube show called "Fear the Walking Dead Flight 462," which is a 16-part series that will air before or during each new episode of The Walking Dead. It's based around an airplane full of people that is stuck on an airport track, right as the outbreak is happening. Each episode is only 2 minutes or less, so that sucks. Here's the first episode:
