I watched the first season when it aired and I thought it was okay, but I didn't have high hopes for future seasons as I didn't really connect with any characters as quick as I did with The Walking Dead. Because of this I stopped watching and fell behind with the episodes and it wasn't until I finished season 9 of TWD (which was amazing and made me fall back in love with my favourite show) and found out Dwight was joining Fear that I decided to binge watch seasons 2, 3 and 4.
I have to say I didn't have high expectations but it surprised me in how much I enjoyed it - especially season 3 - although many new characters were introduced in season 4 who I now love. It's not as good as the original in my opinion but it is still well worth the watch, especially if you love the world of The Walking Dead.
A lot more familiar faces on this show actor wise as I guess they need that which is cool. I like that it's different than TWD even though they deal with the same themes like; Are we on the right side? Are we the bad guys? And how far will you go to avenge or protect someone? Also, how surviving in a dead world changes you, a lot of times for the bad and how do the characters deal with these questions.
All in all I'm excited for season 5 and so happy I have this show to tide me over until season 10 of TWD airs in what feels like a million years lol.
