Tales of the Walking Dead

Checked it out because of Terry Crews, 1st episode was decent and funny, the 2nd episode was average, and reminded me of the Russian doll tv show.

I would give Episode 1 a 7 star, i liked the preppers premise.

Episode 2 - i could care less for, didnt find it interesting or funny, which is what they were going for. Hopefully it gets better. 4-5 stars max. Some scenes didnt make sense.

Episode 3 - looking forward to Alpha and Lydia.

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.

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.

You can see a good amount of reviewers posted after 2 episodes and were disappointed that the shorts had zero relation to the original TWD. I am a anthology junkie and have loved zombies since my grandmother allowed me to watch George A Romero's original when I was 8. Here, I felt the zombie world would be a great setting that would provide endless opportunity to create original anthology content. And sporadic stories directly related to TWD was a great idea to keep us connected. The later worked out. They did really well showing how Alpha became Alpha. As with a lot of anthologies, individual episodes often have different producers and directors. The production quality of episode 3 made me more so feel like I was watching TWD. In regards to the original content, they need to step it up. If Tales From the Crypt could put out quality engaging content for the better part of 7 years, these writers should be able to put out something more gripping for 2 episodes. No disrespect to Terry Crewes. He his great in certain comedy and action hero settings. But his role as a drama lead was not convincing. Imho, the acting was quite lacking. The second episode was a little better. At first I was disappointed in how they strayed from TWD's real world setting to a sci-fi capable world. But than I remembered it is an anthology series and anything can happen...... in The Twilight zone. Do do do do, do do do do.

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.
