Reviewers say ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ receives mixed reception for its unique approach to the zombie apocalypse, focusing on its onset. Character development and emotional depth are praised, especially in later seasons. However, criticisms include slow pacing, inconsistent writing, and weak antagonists. Some find it overly melodramatic and less thrilling than ‘The Walking Dead’. The introduction of characters like Morgan is positively noted for revitalizing the show. Despite mixed opinions, many recommend watching from Season 4 for improved storytelling and character arcs.
