#Fear the walking dead season two eps 1 on putlocker tv
In future episodes we’ll get Dwight and Sherry (the worst, most toxic TV couple in The Walking Dead universe) and that shell of a man who inhabits the body of Daniel. I didn’t much like Madison before this, and I don’t care for her now when her character is not only pointless but far less interesting. What’s the point of bringing her back now that her whole family is dead? The answer: To bring back wayward viewers. Morgan is so tiresome it’s almost painful. I’m so, so tired of all these characters.Their feud with the Native American tribe (which had its own flawed characters) was realistic and plausible. The survivalists and the Otto family were flawed, imperfect, but felt like the kind of group you might actually find in a zombie apocalypse. Season 3 was great because the group in question wasn’t just bad. This show has the same problem The Walking Dead had, which is an overreliance on groups of enemies that are Very Bad and Must Be Stopped. This is just another totally implausible group of survivors to play antagonist to our heroes. I’ll have to go into more specific detail later, because nobody feels like a human being and it’s so bizarre! It’s not any one line in particular, nothing uniquely egregious, just the overall way people talk.
I can’t imagine being an actor and having to say this crap. It’s as if this show was written by aliens using AI to simulate what humans are supposed to sound like.
It’s all over-the-top, melodramatic gobbledygook. Just your typical Fear dialogue that never really feels like how normal people actually talk. The zombies look great and there are lots of them. Shots of the swamps at night are pretty cool. Some of the cinematography is really nice.It’s small potatoes in the big scheme of things, but it’s another example of the showrunners treating the audience like we’re stupid. I’ll qualify that with a caveat: It’s really, painfully obvious that she’s actually 12 (Zoey Merchant, the actress, that is) and not 8 like the character is supposed to be after the big time-jump. No nuclear fallout here in Louisiana, thank goodness. Doubly so after the nuclear wasteland crap from Season 7. Swampland! The color green! Water! Swamp zombies! It’s a refreshing change from the boring flatlands of Texas. It’s bad, but it could be worse? None of it makes sense but it could make less sense? There’s nothing egregiously bad here, but also nothing to really convince me that the showrunners and writers have learned any important lessons from their previous mistakes. It’s a big step up from Season 7, but that’s such a low bar that I’m not sure it says much.
