La Doña

I wanted to like it and I understand that this is a different take on the whole Walking Dead stories, but man this made the first episode look like hitchcock. It, IMO, was just unfulling and really didn't feel like it even slightly fit into the WD universe. There's so many unnecessary cliche horror tropes present in the story and plot-holes that never get even slightly answered. Hopefully they won't cancel the series... because I feel like it give WD fans something to look forward to... but I also hope that they strengthen up some of the stories. Acting was on par... but the story was really lacking.

I love The walking dead. I even enjoy the down seasons when people did not. Fear The walking Dead has been pretty bad this most recent season but there were some really good seasons as well and I'm not in any way shape or form stopping watching, and a couple of these episodes were decent but this was absolutely horrendous. This supernatural stuff is garbage. I mean zombies are one thing but this and the groundhog Day zombie episode we're just absolutely awful. I mean there was so much potential with the stories. All they had to do is tell normal stories about people's survival for the beginning or middle or whatever it didn't have to be like this I don't know what they were thinking. But this episode is the worst. Not much better than the Parker posey episode. The episode with alpha and Terry crews episode where decent as well as the doctor episode but everything else was just terrible.

Tales of the Walking Dead would've had it so incredibly easy to create compelling and great stories. And now, the first and hopefully only season of this train wreck concludes with this episode dipping into the supernatural.

We again get again a vaguely-timed scenario in the woods somewhere in autumn (*sigh*). And adding Witchcraft blahblah was just absolutely annoying. The acting, the characters... nothing really struck with me again in this season finale.

You can feel how incredibly cheap this series must've been. They are talking just about people all the time without showing any of them. It's just the three characters. As if they tried to try a take on Hensel & Gretel. But it just could not work at all.

This would have rated an 8 if it was tales from the crypt. This story had nothing to do with the Walking Dead. They threw a few zombies in to try to make up fir the fact that this is just a supernatural thriller.

Im super bummed that they decided to try to pawn this off as TWD universe, as it definitely is not.

Episode 6 entitled "La Doña" is one of the most interesting stories of "Tales of TWD", because it addresses the essence of a suspense story and the magic of some horror subgenres in just the right measure. The threat is no longer from Walkers (sleepwalkers), but from supernatural elements. For an episode of only 43 minutes, there are some dialogues that are unnecessarily repeated, but that does not invalidate the filling of this story, as the succession of supernatural charges arrives at the right time to rescue us from what could become monotonous or uninteresting. We literally entered a roller coaster of reactions that mixes between a narrative of suspense and psychological and supernatural horror. This episode gives us several purposeful questions, where we could easily say that there are bad energies in the house or was it all created in Idalia and Eric's imagination? The interaction between the characters, the variations between well-placed languages, and a new culture give us an extra spice in the numerous events. The setting and initial location being filmed with a drone used by the team ensured an interesting sequence and when filmed outside in the fog managed to give us dark scenes providing the story. Scariest I've ever watched of this genre, but deserves my respect for what they set out to do in less than 1 hour on screen. Congratulations to the entire production team. If the intention was to compose a work of Horror, I believe they are on the right path, but there is still a long way to go. Watch the episode and decide which best version your mind can give you. Great performances by Daniella Peneda (Idalia), Danny Ramirez (Eric), Julie Carmen (Doña Alma) and Iris Almario (Maria). Directed by Deborah Kampmeier and screenplay by Lindsey Villarreal.
