After a relatively pedestrian set-up episode, Fear the Walking Dead went a little bit crazy for its mid-season finale, and not entirely in a good way. Fear the Walking Dead is a show that can afford to be cautious and risk-free in its storytelling – due to the in-built brand recognition that gives it stronger … >
With the mid-season finale coming up, this week’s Fear the Walking Dead focused on setting up all the cards that’ll presumably be knocked over in next week’s big instalment. ‘Sicut Cervus’ is a fairly workmanlike episode of Fear, containing the same mix of assiduously executed, mildly intriguing drama that fails to truly spark and a … >
Continuing the pirate story left off by last week, this week’s Fear the Walking Dead proved to be a bit of a step down from recent weeks as it failed to wring much tension or adrenaline from its premise. There’s some intriguing drama here and there within ‘Captive’, but it generally lacks the focus and … >
Fear the Walking Dead made some major strides forward in the story arc this week with an episode that both introduced a major new antagonist for the group and finally shed some light on the mysteries of Victor Strand. Of the two plotlines that are roughly evenly split within ‘Blood in the Streets’, it’s Strand’s … >
WE ADVISE NOT READING THIS REVIEW UNTIL YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE AS IT CONTAINS PLOT SPOILERS. Captain America’s come a long way. Over the course of six movies, Steve Rogers has transformed from a scrawny New Yorker with ambitions to join the army into the world-famous captain of the Avengers, and his meteoric rise in universe … >
Coming off the back of what was arguably the strongest instalment the show had put out to date, Fear the Walking Dead kept up the pace this week with a tense and gory horror episode packed to the gills with walkers. After seven episodes of constantly revolving and trying out new tones and story directions, Fear … >
Instead of picking up the pace after last week’s cliffhanger, Fear the Walking Dead delivered another contemplative character piece this week, but with a thankfully higher level of success than the mediocre season premiere. ‘We All Fall Down’ is still recognisably cut from the same cloth as last week’s episode and this is far from … >
After a haphazard yet intermittently compelling first season that powered through the early stages of the zombie apocalypse, the second season looked to be the time for Fear the Walking Dead to even out and decide what kind of show it wants to be. From the looks of this week’s premiere, ‘Monster’, Fear the Walking … >
In all the years I’ve been watching the show, there possibly hasn’t been quite as hyped an episode as this season finale, as it promised the first appearance of famous comics villain Negan, and an adaptation of his memorably brutal, iconic entrance. Unfortunately, while ‘Last Day on Earth’ comes close at points to capturing the … >
As we near the fateful first confrontation with Negan, The Walking Dead span its wheels this week in a table-setter that hits hard in places, but misses badly in others. Season 6 appears to be repeating itself. After a thrilling run of episodes in which a whole new chapter of the story was opened up, … >
