7 Reasons Why Fans Have Turned On Fear The Walking Dead

1. Lack Of Walkers

It's a very simple point. In a show entitled 'Fear The Walking Dead', fans want to see the walking dead. The walkers have been a slow tease, a steady reveal, and one episode didn't even contain a single member of the undead. For some, that's not what they want. Even when walkers have been on the scene, they've been as individuals, not swarming hordes like we saw in the parent show's Pilot episode. The Episode 5 discovery on Fear about the enormous gathering of walkers at the L.A. Coliseum could be set to change all of that though. To summarise, there's been one theme running throughout each point made. The Walking Dead. People are naturally going to compare shows and people will enter Fear with their own expectations of what it should be like. However, I'd actually go as far as spinning this entire article on its head. Those seven points could all be used to highlight how good the show has been so far. It's great that it takes things slowly. It's great that walkers are at a premium. It's great that action is more scattered. If people want a show that contains hordes of blood-thirsty walkers ripping people to shreds, watch TWD all over again. Fear has done something unexpectedly different and regardless of what the still-impressive yet declining numbers say, it's doing a fine job. Season 2 needs to be as bold as the first. It needs to keep the slow pace and highly contrasting style, and if it does that, people will recognise it as a good show in its own right, not just a production that lives in the shadow of its parent.
