It was OK.
I wanted more informations on how it all started, that show don't give much info.
We have no idea where are the authorities (gov) and the rest of the World. Whats happening in the medias, what are they saying, we have no idea. I wanted that part of the story to be revealed.
I tought the Army was kinda aggressive and got the ''bad one'' role for no reason. A little bit exagerated.
Overall, good show. But lack informations.

Bah fuck it im posting this separately:
Based on the comics, reading the mailbag / questions and answer letters i dont think the point is to ever reveal 'what happened' but it holds a mirror up to the people in the situation and asks / tells: what would people do... the point is the people, not the events.

Watched the whole season and felt a bit cheated. It's just the same as TWD but slightly shitter in that I couldn't care less about the characters. I like TWD but FOTWD I was expecting more. Maybe I expect too much in life!

i'll be interested to see how they differentiate it from the original from here on out. The time shift (just as the epidemic started, rather than months after) was enough, but now that is essentially gone. Location change isn't quite enough (TWD visited enough cities to make being based in another bigger city not so much of a big deal). The characters and their relationships aren't good enough to hold their own.
i would think that giving those answers that Ben99 is looking for is the only way to keep this viable. They have to show something that TWD isn't.
Unless they are just doing a CSI (the show) type thing where they are giving viewers more content for more of the year. Which i'm ok with. i hate the time in between seasons of TWD and would gladly accept watching FTWD to tide my over until the next season- If they're smart they won't skip ahead between seasons. Should still be billions of living people, places with funct gov't/etc, esp far from big cities.i_monk

digged the first season though i don't buy for a second that he would do what he did at the end. They just don't know enough about what it is and how you get infected and if there is a cure out there to just go ahead and do what he did in cold blood and especially to whom.
- Agreed. TWD = "This guy at the CDC told me what's up after he conferred with global resources." FWD = "Field surgeon said 'sucks for us,' sooooo..."hellobotto

So, first episode of S02? While I love me some more Walking Deads I can't shake the feeling that I could care less if someone sank the entire boat. The characters are soooo hard to care for.
But I'll watch every episode anyway, so I guess I'm the sucker in the end.

I too really enjoyed the first season. Much more engaging than the last few seasons of The Walking Dead. The first episode of the second season though... the writing was fucking awful!

This show is so fucking awful. It's like night and day compared to the walking dead. The whole show just feels like an afterthought of unmemorable characters.
But like Derek, I'm sure I'll watch them all :/

But that boat propeller to the face, that was a 70s cheesy gore horror b-film homage, right?

Man, I hate everybody in the main family of this show except for the junkie kid. After 3 episodes, I'm really not sure if it will have the same staying power as the original, you spend most of every episode just wanting to punch characters for being so stupid.
- BuddhaHat1
Every week the character Chris, the Hispanic kid, does something that makes me want to punch him in the face, and this week is no different. Please kill him off already, ffs.

Holy crap the mid-season finale episode was really, really bad. There was just a meandering, almost non-existent plot, basically not a single character has any redeeming factors left, they're willfully stupid over and over again, and I just can't see how the writers went so wrong with such a solid start in the city. I wish production could just hit the reset button on this one, the universe is good, a couple of the characters are good, but the writers and production are just making a mess of it. Pity.
- That was some terrible writing.ArmandoEstrada
- About 5 minutes in to this episode I finally gave up and switched off. You're absolutely right, the writing is abysmal and there are no signs of it improving.mort_

this show really makes me feel bad about my threshold for watching it. as a rule, i like zombies in my zombies fare. The main show could get away with this shit because they'd throw us a great zombie scene every few episodes. how has this show skirted along this far as post-apocalyptic yacht rock?
- there are zombies and zombie attacks in every episodemonospaced
- "great". the horror element in Z2 feels totes phoned in.MrAbominable

I hate this fucking show. I hate all the characters, and the one I actually liked just killed himself. I wish death upon all of them, each episode.
At this point I hope they kill everyone and follow around the Johnny Depp wannabe kid around while he pretends to be a zombie.
- why can't that kid's hair get fixed. even after a shower he's all greasy stillGnash
- Puberty...hormones. IDKsublocked
- < i like him, the black dude and maybe the mom. everyone else can go straight to lunch.MrAbominable
- Yeah Strand is not too bad. I like him. HATE the mom.sublocked
- Although she kind of redeemed herself by locking that nutjob maid in with her zombies. That was an OK move.sublocked
- wasn't onboard w Mom until this last episode.MrAbominable
- Ruben Blades was the only one for me. But now he killed himself :(OSFA
