Another Laughably Bad Midseason Premiere

The post Another Laughably Bad Midseason Premiere appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fear The Walking Dead Credit: AMC Fear The Walking Dead aired the first of its final six episodes today on AMC and AMC+ and I have to say, I was not disappointed. The midseason premiere lived up to all my expectations. An exposition-laden hour of melodrama, wild coincidences, bad acting and even worse writing is exactly what we’ve come to expect from this show, and even though Morgan is gone, it appears the showrunners are simply giving Madison (Kim Dickens) a good chunk of his personality and motives—aka, she wants to build a new community for everyone to be safe in, something that Morgan tried and failed to do countless times since he arrived on Fear. Strand (Colman Domingo) is back after sitting out the first half of the season. It appears he’s once again successfully built (or helped build) a thriving community over the intervening years. All of that—including his new identity as a compassionate, German-speaking guy named Anton—is threatened when an out-of-breath Madison shows up on his doorstep, a long ways away from PADRE and pursued by both friend (Daniel) and foe (a group that appears to be comprised of both enemies of PADRE and led by Troy Otto, back from the dead). Hey, it’s good to see Troy (Daniel Sharman)! I’m reminded of better days, of the glory days of Season 3 when this show wasn’t just good, but even better than the main show for a brief moment. Season 3 remains one of the high points of the entire TWD universe, ranking up there with the best seasons of the original show, painting a human conflict with dynamic, complex and sympathetic characters rather than the cartoon villains that came after. Troy was one of the best characters in the show. It’s too soon to say, but…
