Maybe if season 1 started at this level and maintained it, you could chalk it up to a warm up season

But after so much online critiques, it looks like the writers are deaf. Because this is barely passable.

More nonsense about characters you don't care about. So much bad kid acting. Even actors that shined in other movies and tv shows are bleak in this show. Cut and dream sequences are pure nonsense garbage that don't propel the show or the character.

I guess Fear the walking dead is the only zombie show worth watching now as the original show is coming to a close.

It's not a 1 or 10, it's in the middle somewhere, it's already picked up from last season and it's setting up what could be a very good ending to the show. It feels like they could be dragging it out until the end though, I hope I'm wrong.

No, I think you'll find last season was your final season. No one's going to be watching this after suffering through that ambling cold mess.

So more convoluted illogical, plot armor 'action' (using the word action here to mean 'things that happened', rather than something interesting and exciting), more terrible script, acting, setups, characters, no one likeable, no one watchable, nothing of interest to keep us engaged.

Pluses - The hair and makeup budget got increased.

Minuses - Hair and makeup budget got increased, so they have beautiful luxuriant hair, while traveling, in a zombie universe. Convincing.

The only thing holding back this episode is the slow pace really. A season premiere is supposed to include all main characters and also introduce/progress the storylines of the season. This did nothing Of that sort. It's just pure filler.

Season 2 already seems to be darker, and a major improvement over the first season. Both Hope and Iris are starting to become a lot more interesting as Elizabeth and the CRM get more focus in the final season.
