10 TV Shows That Abandoned Awesome Ideas Halfway Through

6. Nick Embraces Aikido - Fear The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead isn't the only show to have a trouble knowing a good thing when it slapped them in the face -- it's much more maddening and inconsistent spin-off, Fear the Walking Dead, had wasted opportunities in abundance.

The most noticeable of these was the intriguing development of fan favourite Nick Clarke, a former addict-turned-survivor who had been through his fair share of hardships, but seemed poised for a slightly better and more peaceful future when he met TWD's Morgan Jones, who introduced him to Aikido.

Aikido, a pacifistic martial art, allowed Morgan to become a better, more hopeful soul, something it could have done for the once-chaotic Nick. Unfortunately, Nick is unceremoniously killed before he can accept this new chapter in his life. Once he was gone, the show lost its heart, and its most promising character.
