10 Majorly Hyped TV Series That Disappointed Us
8. Fear The Walking Dead
Whether you love it, hate it, or just haven't watched it, there's no denying that The Walking Dead is a juggernaut of a show. The long-running zombie series based on the comic book of the same name has gone on to become one of the most influential in the last decade of TV, so when a prequel spin-off was announced, you better believe people were excited.
Fear The Walking Dead promised to fill in the gaps that the mainline show glossed over, exploring how the world fell into disarray and giving you an alternate perspective while still connecting to the adventures of Rick Grimes. Fans were happy at first, but that soon turned into apprehension and eventually just numbness.
The series has managed to go on for six seasons, with the seventh currently underway. Yet, throughout that time, it has done nothing to escape the shadow of its sister show. It promised to explore the world in a different way, but essentially felt just the same, making it come across like a shameless cash grab.
There are some highlights, such as a brighter focus on characters like Morgan Jones. But, overall, fans weren't very impressed.
