Aaargh. "Fear the Walking Dead" is a good series overall, eight episodes in, but it's frustrating how often the writers give someone the Idiot Ball as a way to create tension.

For eleven seasons, "The Walking Dead" managed to stay interesting and challenging, and I can't remember them ever resorting to this. People are human and make mistakes, yes, but it's consistent with their character and their motivations.

In FtWD, I think every episode so far had some moment where an otherwise clued-in person suddenly did something to put people in danger. Did the writers think they screwed up by making everyone too genre-savvy and too quick to pick up on the new rules of the world?

Still, good enough to keep watching and just shout a bit at the screen whenever someone takes off their thinking cap. 🤣

@clacke no spoilers, but it just gets stupider. We watched the entire series (skipping over just one episode that was throughly trash) out of curiosity on where it would go.

@tortie @desantis Those are certainly two opposite reviews. 😄

So far I'm in the middle: Interesting story and characters with cringe moments.

For as long as we want to see where it's going, we'll keep watching.

@clacke @desantis for what it’s worth, “The Ones Who Live” is excellent although, I would probably recommend watching the “World Beyond” first.
