The editing in particular is very good and so easily could have become confusing with the constant juggling of plot arcs that intertwine and eventually fuse into one path during the climactic finale. Technically, the show is solid this season too. Its still not perfect, and the characters aren’t as endearing or memorable as The Walking Dead cast, but the way in which the characters are written and developed this season is certainly a step in the right direction.
FEAR THE WALKING DEAD SEASON TWO EPISODE THREE SERIES
Its refreshing to see this, with a mixture of good and bad actions being taken by every character which helps to bring some much needed realism to the series and flesh the characters out which was sorely lacking during last year’s lacklustre debut season. The script lends itself to some very interesting scenarios that really blur the line between good and bad. One of the concerns last season were the unlikable characters and lack of charisma amongst the core group and in many ways, this is addressed this year. There’s several occasions this season that lead to some really stupid decisions and whilst it might be unfair to point this out given The Walking Dead tends to do this a lot, its still glaringly obvious and makes for a frustrating watch. Without giving too much away, the story leads to some really exciting set pieces in each of the stories that end in a climactic finale leaving it wide open for next year’s inevitable follow up.įor all of the positives, its still frustrating to see the characters plagued by illogical choices through the story. Travis and Chris’ strained father and son relationship is put to the test, Nick’s lone wolf mentality finds him braving the elements alone and the fractured remnants of the main group wind up taking refuge in a nearby hotel. The first half is a little too slow paced but as soon as the group land in Mexico, the story blossoms and its here that Fear The Walking Dead confidently takes itself in a bold direction that helps solidify itself as a decent horror franchise.įor vast periods of the episodes this season the characters are separate and these episodes really help develop some interesting character dynamics between the groups. The season is essentially split into two plot arcs, the first taking place on the open seas and the second half in the sun-bleached deserts of Mexico. The story picks up where it left off at the end of season 1, with the characters on board the Abigail sailing away from San Diego. Concluding with a shocking cliffhanger ending, its genuinely exciting to see what direction the show will take after a really strong season. Whilst Fear The Walking Dead’s second season certainly isn’t without its flaws, the plot is better developed this year and particularly late on, the show really comes into its own to produce an excellent arc split between three different groups of characters. The spin-off to The Walking Dead returns for a second season that improves over the first in almost every way.
