Tales of the Walking Dead

They did something new, and it's kinda cool.

It's way better that the filler episodes of the main show.

The action scenes are edited poorly, so it's only the story and the cinematography to enjoy.

But overall, it's a good experiment, fun to watch.

Didn't think I'd say this about a TWD show, but this show is beyond redemption.

From stories to acting, it's going nowhere. Even the teen actors who were in 'The World Beyond' had promising acting skills than of these adults who we can see in this series.

Seems like the production house had thought of making something without a content just because there has been an audience who loves the original series. Truly disappointing.

I do not recommend this series to anyone.

There are quite a few numbers of prequels and sequels to check out instead of wasting time on this.

PS: I hope not to see 'Alpha' again. That character was the least interesting one in the original series, but they keep bringing her back.

If you're looking for continuity, its not in the first 2 episodes. These are very creative ways of entertaining the idea of life in The Walking Dead universe. Also seems to be the way to allow other well known actors (Terry Crews, Olivia Munn, Parker Posey) to participate without distracting from the main story lines.

Originality is not the name of the game here as this is not ground breaking television, but these are fun short stories embedded in TWD lore with a sort of twist.

Its not unwatchable, nothing like that. However it does not add much value to TWD universe. If you see it as a standalone thing, and not a piece of the puzzle, it doesnt stand.

After all the attempts, I have a feeling that the next really good content would have to fast forward untill new fully developed (and yet promitive) societies have emerged, a completely new setting with new opportunities for plots, drama and action. As long as its characters vs other characters in the setting dominated by walkers, I am afraid we have seen it all already.

After the first two episodes, I have found them quite enjoyable to watch. Doesn't seem to have quite the same budget as the original, but that's fine. The acting was decent and the plots were engaging, even if the second one did seem to leave the reality of the premise of the originals, but then again, how realistic are zombies.
