Monster
After fleeing a burning Los Angeles on Strand's yacht, tensions

Full reviewThe idea of capturing the zombie apocalypse as it began, from a character-driven, family drama point of view, wasn’t a bad one, but this “Walking Dead” spin-off thus far hasn’t developed a cast to keep the premise afloat
Full reviewWhile the sin of familiarity could be forgiven if the series matched the exciting highs of its sister series, the series' lack of identity is only compounded by its lack of urgency. The only thing to fear is "Fear" itself. And by that, I mean boredom.
Full reviewUntil the writers figure out how to better serve Dickens and Curtis--who are reduced to passively reacting to things around them--there's a vacuum on Fear the Walking Dead that's undercutting its forward momentum, just as it has solved its lack of action issue with the zombies.

Full reviewFear the Walking Dead tells what appears to be a similar story, but it's over within an episode. Sometimes not having anybody to copy is the best thing that can happen.
Full reviewFear the Walking Dead: Season 2 is available to stream in New Zealand now on Neon.
