I love Walking Dead I didn’t 1st couple but once you get into it, the character development is great and the show becomes addictive. I fast-forward through most of the zombie munchie stuff though, that part’s overdone.
All that said, I can’t get into Fear of the Walking Dead, a prequel.
Thanks
Yeah, the Zombies in TWD are just the McGuffin to keep the plot moving forward. That's all.
FTWD ... is completely different from its predecessor, which may be why people don't like it. TWD is 100% character driven. If you like the characters in TWD, then you probably like the series.
Other zombie movies are mostly Chase-Chase-Chase, with some naked hotties, blood, and scares thrown in for good measure.
FTWD has mostly characters that you hate ... The show is about what's happening around them, and how they react to it, rather than the characters themselves.
Interesting, to me at least. Watching one writer's take on "How The World Ends". They get it right, I think, mostly. It happens pretty much overnight, most people are in total denial, those who know what's going on are shouted down, and people rally towards whoever stands up and says that they're in charge. Fairly realistic, I think.
