I have watched both THE WALKING DEAD and FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. Back then, i was a big fan of tv shows with zombies. FEAR became a joke after the ending of third season. TWD was great most of the time, it regressed a lot during the last seasons though. DEAD CITY is not bad, they really tried to create something different, less cringey, more intense and "natural". Less awkward moments, a bit more action. To be honest, maybe i got tired with this genre, maybe my rating is kinda unfair and it deserved more. In any case, i didn't find it that interesting. Pace was good in each episode, still i couldn't binge-watch it or watch it in a short period of time. Just for curiosity i watched recently the last episode, i didn't care much about the fate of the characters. Dean Morgan is still charismatic though, Ivanek is always good in tv shows and Cohan gave a good performance. Not many things i count as flaws here, i said that they really tried. It just was not exciting enough to make me invest. They should take more risks i think.
I am gonna watch both the second season and DARYL DIXON. Of course, my expectations are low. I don't even know if there is a way to make it more interesting. A world with zombies has its limitations after so many years.

Just watched episode 1. The show and pairing makes little sense but ANC does a solid job with casting and getting talented actors, possibly second only to HBO. That stated, there are a lot of holes in the story so far when paired with the end of TWD, but that show was hard to get through (at least the last 3 seasons). I thought after a break from that show it might be a decent time to start up a spin off. Hopefully this picks up a little. The scenery and sets are solid, so it feels like they did put some decent money behind the show. People giving this at 10? Come on. How do you compare it to the greatest shows ever and believe this series is on the same level? If that's you think before you start handing out more 10/10's in the future - please.
This show is so good! I love the way they keep coming up ways to use Negan. There is the same suspense and thrill that I love about all of the Walking Dead shows. I just want more episodes- the seasons are too short. I can't wait for the next episode. There is also the ongoing tension between Maggie and Negan . And Maggie's son and his character development are in this season too. I hope they keep making more episodes and seasons. The writing is very creative. Maybe they can even make another spin off series! Great acting and directing too. Can't wait to see what else is to come for the walking Dead series!
The Walking Dead: Dead City was so much better than I expected. I've watched everything from the Walking Dead Universe, the good like The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead (some seasons at least), to the mediocre like Tales of the Walking Dead, to the downright awful like The Walking Dead: World Beyond. I've seen them all and this is one of the good ones. It's not as good as the early seasons of The Walking Dead or early Fear the Walking Dead but it's right below that. Everyone loves both of the lead characters in Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and they are as good as ever here. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is especially great as Negan. He's perfect for this role and the arc that Negan has gone through has been as good as any character on tv in a while. He went from one of the worst bad guys on a show to a guy you root for. Can't wait for next season!
Firstly I think the cgi and production is better than the original walking dead or fear of the walking dead. The colors pop more and it ain't as shadowy, while still being bleak and dystopian. Vfx is better and colors are more vibrant.
We get to see that the old Negan is still there, after seeing his character arc in twd into becoming the antihero. Jeffrey Dean Morgan definitely perfected Negan. There's still pretty good and gory zombie skull bashing, still has rival survival groups at war reminiscent of the parent show. It honestly feels like an extended filler episode of Maggie and Negan, the way twd used to, except this time it's a whole season. Those were used for character development and that's what it feels like now, character study into Maggie and Negan's relationship as they're somewhat forced to work together but for longer this time around.
I think, almost obviously, they're what carries the show since they are fan favorites, I haven't had my mind blown away but so far so good, only six episodes in so it doesn't have much time to get you invested. I don't think being a new fan or someone whose already watched the original makes that much of a difference, I'd still recommend doing that first, just that that's 11 seasons to go through. It'll definitely help understand Maggie and Negan's history.
I wouldn't say it's super promising but it's capable of becoming something good. I'm always looking forward to the next episode and hoping it only gets better while learning from the mistakes of twd.
My only concern would be having a burnout, as I said there's an 11 season original, 8 season sequel, another 2 season sequel, another one season sequel, and more sequels in the works other than Dead city.
So this has to be really good and avoid repetitiveness to captivate audiences again for something they've already watched for 22 seasons and counting.
