PART ONE

Although Fear the Walking Dead has been inconsistent in its quality, it's been an enjoyable weekly watch as the campier, more ridiculous sibling of The Walking Dead. But, enough is enough. Part One of this season (it's 12 episodes, and did NOT need to be split) fails to build on the walker advancement The Walking Dead teased, or provide an interesting path to the finale until its dying minutes. Add in bringing Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) back too late and the continued bastardization of Morgan Jones (Lennie James) (though "King County" is admittedly the season’s highlight), and I'm not optimistic Part Two can salvage this series.

PART TWO

Wow, and I thought Part One was rough... It's genuinely depressing to see how far Fear the Walking Dead has fallen. The series certainly had its challenges, but it was never as nonsensical and unenjoyable as its final six episodes. The characters' motivations and decision-making are all over the place, some of the performances are ROUGH (Kim Dickens, in particular), and any interest I had in anyone's story dissipated with each passing episode. It's time to let this die. There’s no need for any continuation of these characters, just put everything about this series out of its misery and focus on the other spin-offs.
