221. I started out watching Fear the Walking Dead

Sat May 23, 2026, 08:02 AM

7 hrs ago

I was hooked within the first episode. Then once I got caught on up on Fear, I started to watch TWD.

I did lose interest in Fear after Frank Dillane left the show but I understand filming is a grueling schedule. It didn't help that once Maggie Grace joined the show, I had issues with AMC channel not working properly during aired episodes. Both the sound and visuals kept cutting in and out and freezing so I had no idea what was going on. It happened every episode airing so I stopped watching it. That was my only complaint.

Also, the character development was well written with an abundance of diversity and individual personalities. That's significant from a story that comes from a comic book.

Speaking of music, I'm a fan of Bear McCreary. Plus the soundtrack inserts in episodes was superb, it's how I discovered songs like Ben Howard's "Oats in the Water".
