Tales of the Walking Dead

This is kinda fun . I'm somewhat enjoying the episodes . I was the most excited for the alpha episode but first ones are decent too . The 2nd episode reminds me of Happy Death Day . Not great but one time watchable for the walking dead fans . Alpha backstory was great.

I usually don't write reviews but after seeing the other reviews here I find this is getting tp much hate.. I Stopped watching TWD years ago but this concept seemed interesting to me, not following the same group of people all the time with stretched out drama like TWD.

So far only seen the first 2 episodes and like my title says it has potential and will watch at least the first season.

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.

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.

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.
