‘Fear The Walking Dead’ Review: Has Potential But Fears A Dull Start; History Of Zombie Wont Be Revealed.

"Fear The Walking Dead" has been reviewed already by its critics as the premiere episode is fast approaching. The critique might either be taken positively and as a challenge to prove the spectators wrong, otherwise it would lead to a downfall. The review could also be an eye-opener to those who expect a lot from this new apocalyptic TV series.

News Day has given some sort of review or spoilers of "Fear The Walking Dead." AMC's new series has pique the curiosity of the "TWD" fans as far as plot is concerned. This is the story that everyone wants to know prior to "The Walking Dead." If remembered, TWD began its narrative when Rick Grime awoke from its coma.

The viewer wants to know what happens while he was still comatose. Thus, this new horror TV series is supposed to answer that question. In search for that answer, people would follow this show starting from its premiere episode and may be down to its finale episode.

But based from the review of News Day, the narrative is expected to be slow and dull. It is predicted to have an icy start as it establishes the characters and its daily lives. Then the story would escalate to the problem, from simple issues like kids are missing school, then there this fever outbreak in different areas in Los Angeles.

It has also been observed from the official trailer that the lead characters are behaving in confounding ways. Just emphasizing an instance, without spoiling the story so much, when a call should have been made to the police and is deemed necessary but it was never made. It was never explained why they didn't. It doesn't make sense at all given the situation.

If a pathological or epidemiological story may not be developed or undertaken, then this spinoff will loose its purpose because it would end up just like "TWD." People want to know why the zombie pandemic happened.

But if the answer of executive producer Dave Erickson will be taken in seriously in his interview, then fans should anticipate that some major expectation will not be addressed. CBS News notes that when Erickson was asked if the origin of the zombie will be revealed in the "Fear?" His crisp clear answer is negative. "No. Short answer, no," Erickson said at a recent TV critics' meeting.

As disclosed in the critic's meeting, "Fear The Walking Dead" would reveal the ordinary lives in the concrete jungle of the east-side of Los Angeles, California. The story apart from its apocalyptic theme will also show its "hard-working, ethnically diverse community where residents cope with challenges familiar in urban America."

The decisive point whether this new TV series becomes a "hit or miss" thing is the plot and how it is narrated to its viewers. So fans of "TWD" will have to sit tight and see for themselves the premiere episode of "Fear The Walking Dead."
