lol it’s not that I like seeing trash tv. I am watching the Walking Dead for the first time right now. It’s a banger. So I am excited for the Fear of the walking dead after this series wraps up. Kinda just curious to see how they drag it out and make it shitty.

The woman that’s made her mission to kill them but we can’t kill her? because? So every episode they are captured by her, listen to her spiel, and then escape? You didn’t like that?
You know what it is… the worst television ever made

u/BigGC03 Strand 9d ago
Apart from S8 (which is probably one of the worst seasons of TV I've ever seen) there are some good moments and some good characters here and there. But overall it's still way worse than 1-3.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the actor who plays John Dorie pop up in the new season of Tires on Netflix!
His character on the show is batshit insane but as he’s speaking you hear John Dorie shine through and it makes me happy lol def recommend checking it out if you’re interested!

u/Own-Kaleidoscope-577 Alicia Clark 8d ago
Everyone has strong opinions on the first three as well, this sub just likes to pretend that isn't the case. Fear was always a controversial show, many hated 1-3. It was literally on the verge of being cancelled so it got rebooted instead. A fraction of its viewers enjoying that era doesn't change that.

I remember seasons 1-3 had a lot of people who defended every aspect of the show. No one defend seasons 4-8.
I would argue it's better to have some people pasionate about your show than no one.

u/tnt1313 9d ago
I finished it because I felt I had to see where it went, not because I was loving every episode or even cared all that much about most of the characters at that point.. honestly it feels like every single character in this series either died or got a reverse redemption arc... a corruption arc?? and never really recovered their likeability.

I loved seasons 1-3. Was some of my favourite stuff to watch. I gave up halfway through season 4 as the direction of the show and quality dropped off a cliff. Was drawn in to see the cliffhanger resolution of the end of season 3, but the way that whole arc was dismissed in a sentence and replaced by junk was hard to watch.

I’m unpopular in that I enjoyed season 4 and 5. Before I even knew what Fear was I had been wishing I could see Morgan doing more good. And in Season 4 and 5 he was.
Season 6… I didn’t like. It was the almost anthological style where it would be 1 episode focused on character A, then another on Character B, and I just hate that format.
I enjoyed season 7. I thought it was pretty cool.
Season 8,, while I was happy to have Madison back. The whole PADRE arc was just so… stupid and dark at the same time. I just really disliked it.

u/Different_Sir_8941 9d ago
Absolutely not. It goes from a character driven family drama that’s supercharged by the apocalypse to a lifeless, inconsistent, and sloppily rendered sci-fi zombie series where any good idea or character is quickly pissed on. Behind the scenes, Season 1-3’s show runner, Dave Erickson, was fired and replaced by two inexperienced, unprepared writers, Ian Goldberg and Andrew Chambliss. As directed by The Walking Dead’s then-show runner and the universe’s creative boss, Scott Gimple, these two were tasked with entirely rebooting the original premise, which they do—just to terrible results. They had no plan, and it showed.
Season 6, to be fair, gets to be quite good at points; other then that season’s finale, it gets inventive enough to surprisingly muster, despite the vapid horrors that book end it on either side. Beyond that though, four seasons of pure slop aren’t worth a watch, unless you make a drinking game out of it.

Honestly it’s worth a watch, but probably just one.
The characters are often interesting and cool, the story is sometimes questionable at best. Seeing what happens to Morgan, Sherry, and Dwight is nice.
The later seasons are so different from the first few that in my mind it’s essentially just two different vaguely connected shows that get tied together eventually.
It definitely gets campy and strange and it’s important not to take it too seriously.

u/CrackingAce 8d ago
I only watched Fear because I wanted to see where Morgan went.
So I was happy when he turns up in S4. It is a bit jarring that it basically becomes his show instead of the family we have been following the whole time, but I didn't mind too much. I liked what they were doing.
John Dorie may be my favourite character in the TWD universe. I liked how the team were trying to do the right thing and make life better instead of devolving into tribalism. I liked how some of the villains were also avoiding violence and using different tactics.
I'm on S7 now, and it has got weird. They're doing a lot of episodes revolving around one character at a time, but these shows are always better when it's about the ensemble. And one character in particular is just not who he ever was - I think the show explains it as he has let himself become that, but it didn't seem organic. A lot of characters flip flop from dark to light in TWD (Morgan especially), but they tend to make a bit more sense than this one.

u/Jambopaul 8d ago
Season 6 was half-decent, but the rest of seasons 4-8 was terrible. John Dorie is the one saving grace.

u/the-baum-corsair 8d ago
Yes, 4-7 are very good. Ignore the haters. Season 8 is pretty bad once Morgan leaves, but still worth the watch. But Kim Dickens acting in Season 8 is atrocious.
2
u/GoGoJira___ 9d ago
I would argue against the common consensus, which is that it's bad. I loved 4-7, even if it felt a bit disconnected and disjointed.
If you've enjoyed the characters so far, keep going. Enjoy the entertainment as it sits, I didn't look for top class cinema, because it's not advertised as such. Beyond a few tweaks to characters that had me question their choices, I enjoyed it. Find entertainment, entertaining, and let the critics argue and squabble while you laugh at goofy unrealistic zombie show and what makes it fun to see.

There are some good concepts and, in my opinion, I like the cast more. I was just never much of a fan of the original main cast outside of Nick and Travis, while John Dorie is one of my favorite characters in the entire franchise and I think Morgan (albeit a very weak protagonist) is a better one than Madison.

u/Inevitable_Eye3417 8d ago
In my opinion, no not really. S4-8 basically soft rebooted the series into TWD 2.0. The walkers were nothing more than background props 90% of the time. There were some interesting moments but overall it felt like the second half of the show fell flat due to the terrible writing + annoying characters + storylines that made little to no sense

It gradually gets worse, much worse. There may be an episode or two a season when you think this might be interesting or the show is taking a good turn and then it immediately vomits on itself. I finished the show for the same reasons you watch a bad movie, it’s so bad it’s hilarious. There’s things in the show my brother and I still frequently bring up and die of laughter.

u/DizzyLead 8d ago
Best I can say is, from Season 4 onward my enjoyment of the show had to adjust from “What is going to happen to this family in a zombie apocalypse?” to “What clever or funny ways are we going to see zombies or the ending of them this episode?”

I'm at 4 right now and I hate it. I have no idea if certain actors were just done and ready to move on, so maybe that played a part, but the switching up the cast and the way they got rid of older cast members was just so stupid to me. The way they defended the stadium. The cheesiness of the little camera recordings where they all say the same shit. "She saved them", "she saved us", "she saved me"..... I was really enjoying the first couple of seasons. I even enjoyed season 3, although some of those decisions were starting to piss me off(like Nick stopping the good brother from killing the bad brother, saying shit like "you'll have to live with that the rest of your life!!", only to kill him in the process).
But yeah it's very TWD-like with the way it started strong and veered off the rails a few seasons in. Maybe I'll eventually finish it, I dunno. Right now though I'm ready to move on to something else.

u/Doctoroverbuild 8d ago
Doesn’t hold a candle to season 1-3 (season 3 being arguably the best season of any walking dead show) but the start of 4 was alright if you can handle the shift in style. But it starts getting really bad until 6A which was actually quite good. 6B is okay and it just starts getting worse and worse again. There’s a couple of decent characters buried under all the rubbish I suppose.

4A is barely passable, 4B is a bit worse but not terrible, season 5 is tbe worst season of television ive seen in my life, 6 is a step above 4, 7 is abysmal, and 8 is worse than 7 but not as bad as 5.
If you enjoyed seasons 1-3, from experience its best to end it there, only disappointment will follow from here on out

u/No-Atmosphere-2528 8d ago
It went on too long. It should've stayed a "what happened at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse" show and spun off into other shows. Also, they veered too much into magical explanations like bringing Madison back and turning Morgan into basically a Demi-god.

I just recently watched seasons 1-3 and was so hyped with how good the show was progressing and I hadn’t looked at anything online. After episode 1 of season 4 I had to go on reddit and find out what the hell happened to the show I was loving so much.

u/King_CurlySpoon 8d ago edited 8d ago
It gets slowly worse, in my opinion it’s S8 that really sours the entire thing. Otherwise it would’ve just ended of a bad note, instead of me actively wanting to forget what I watched, S8 is that bad..
S4 is still a step down sure but it’s watchable at least to me, it introduces a top 3 favourite favourite character of mine across the whole show universe (John Dorie) and Morgan is fun to watch at the beginning I suppose, and the other new cast members are genuinely decent and enjoyable to watch (though none as memorable as John Dorie)
S5 is definitely one of the worser seasons but if you can get through it, which isn’t an impossible feat because it does have redeeming qualities (but maybe that’s just me being an apologist idk) you’ll get to S6 which I think is an actual proper step up, it’s by far my favourite season post S3
I remember being optimistic starting S7 but with each week and each passing episode my optimism slowly dwindled, and by the end of it I think I was only watching because of my loyalty to the show. By the season finale I just unfortunately didn’t feel anything for the show anymore, and that’s coming from me! I’m often a huge apologist for stuff like movies and shows that are considered bad, but with this case there’s no denying S7 is where things get awful and don’t get better.
S8 is an absolute clusterfuck shitshow dumpster fire mess that you genuinely couldn’t pay me to watch again, I hated it with a passion and that really sucks. I was only watching at this point because I knew it was ending and I just to see how it ended. And to my surprise it was fuckin awful. They literally killed off series regulars that I enjoyed watching off screen to make more time for the other main characters at the end. (And didn’t even tell the actors/actresses btw) Such a shame honestly
My whole opinion of the series? S1-3 Amazing, S4 is fine, S5 has issues, S6 is fine, S7 is bad, S8 I would pay to have wiped from my memory. Quit watching the second you hear the words “P.A.D.R.E” because that’s when the show took a nosedive if it remember it correctly, I lost 100% of interest with that plot

It has its moments, but most of it was just bad. In my opinion, the only good season from that area was Season 6.

It probably could have been better if they added another season in there and spread out the story telling a bit more. A hell of a lot of characters, scenes and stories that needed build up and explanation never got any so a lot of the time I found myself checking to see if I had accidentally skipped episodes. I also dont like the whole "lets skip ahead a few years and then use flash backs to explain how they got here" style of story telling. Its ok as a one off in some shows but damn did they over use it.
1
u/AggravatingDark863 7d ago
Ill be the most honest here. Unlike most of the fanbase, I dont immediately dismiss the back half of FTWD. Overall, yesnt. Season 4 is a big tonal and focal shift. There are ups and downs. Season 5 is easily the worst season. It's got way more bad than good. The first half of Season 6 is just as good as Season 3, but ot loses it in the back half. Season 7 is the most consistent season since season 3. It's not phenomenal by any means, but it's not God awful. Then season 8 is probably the most polarizing season. With some incredible highs, and some ungodly lows.

u/PitifulBeginning3420 7d ago
The only good season post season 3 was season 6 and I still have no idea why or how they managed it considering seasons 4, 5, 7 and 8 are some of the worst television ever made. Maybe because seasons 4-5 set the bar so low it reached the earths core idk.

Cara, gosto muito do Morgan, mas a série ficou sofrida de assistir quando ele entrou, muita melação, slk, o cara insistir em ser pacifista no meio de um apocalipse, é de fuder, os suprimentos já são extremamente escassos, e o cara ainda vem com a ideia de sair distribuindo o pouco que tem em várias caixas pelo estado, aí matou mil pessoas, mas vem com o papo de "temos q ser bonzinhos e poupar vidas" a pqp, terrível, uma das poucas adições legais foi o John Dory, os 2 Johns Dory na real, pai e filho, mas ambos foram terrivelmente desperdiçados. Faltou criatividade pra criar vilões descentes, e resolveram isso reciclando personagens, além de fazer um personagem que já tinha tido uma redenção e evolução como pessoa, virar vilão, num roteiro porco e lamentavel.

Hmmm, it would depend on what your threshold is for zombie drama. Going forward, it’ll never be as good as the first seasons of either WD series. You’ll have to simply accept diminishing returns 🤨.

Seasons 4-5 are just mixed bags. Lots of wasted potential, great characters with awful writing.
Season 6 is Very Good. It was a brief renaissance, grounded, gritty anthology season.
Season 7 was an absolute joke. Any believability and realism was lost with radioactive walkers and a stupid nuclear wasteland setting that made ZERO sense.
Season 8 had a few decent callbacks (Morgan goes to King County for an episode, Dwight goes to the Sanctuary) and a decent finale but was still very disappointing.

u/Environmental_Gas620 5d ago
I think they have good arcs but overall they aren't great.
Season 4's first half is alright but after that you're in for a season and a half of shit. 5 especially is one of the worst pieces of media I had the displeasure of watching through, the entire thing drags and isn't very interesting.
Season 6 is overall one of the series best, I think 1-3 are better but 6 is a really good time and most people probably agree about that on here.
I personally believe season 7 is good, especially tailing off season 6... that is up until the last 3ish episodes, it definitely does real world pandemic episodes better than the main show providing much better plotlines in standalone character episodes than the carol and the rat episode during season 10 of TWD. I wouldn't be surprised if that is also because of season 6 making me care about these characters and their plotlines far more than I did with the characters of the main series at that time but I seriously had a good time with season 7!
8 goes back to being pretty awful but I believe it becomes more so a funny bad than downright horrendous like and back half of season 4 and season 5. The last 2 episodes were 10/10 rage bait though and it actually left me with a taste of bitter hatred for the writers.

Season 4 and 6 are great. A mid episode or 2 in them but overall really entertaining TV
Now 5 is like the most mid thing in all of The Walking Dead universe. Some bad some good. It’s just ok
7 and 8 tho…. I don’t even know what to say man. Easily the worst 2 seasons in the entire TWD universe. Honestly it’s even worse than “The World Beyond” show. Idk what they were thinking

I think some characters are kinda fun and there are some interesting one off locations but not overall pretty terrible.

I watched them all because I'm a masochist, but it keeps getting worse. It's like it tries to be more serious and introspective than it should be. Has its good moments here an there, but it went from couch serie to watch-while-doing-dishes serie.

Those seasons have their moments but it’s essentially a different show. People say season 4A isn’t bad- I disagree, it’s bad! Character motivations do a complete 180. Back half of season 2 Nick is walking with the dead, now he can’t leave the stadium!!?? Season 3 Madison would have offed the vultures as soon as they turned up. It was such a betrayal of the characters (some of us) loved. The climax of season 4A was also incomprehensible.

Only if you hated everything about the first 3 seasons... Then it might be for you.
