FTWD

Fear The Walking Dead - It's not terrible, but there is no reason to watch when an episode doesn't have a mad scramble to get out of a life and death situation from a group of flesh eating zombies. It's called "Fear The Walking Dead!" Mr. / Mrs. / Miss Producer, you need to remind me in every episode why I should fear them.

Back stories are great, but the reason why we all care about the "real show" so much is because we have a history with those characters. The Walking Dead is full of survivors. Years of struggle and close calls have endeared to us those who are still alive. Showing us the past struggle (pre-outbreak lives) of the characters in the "new show" doesn't create the same bond... 5 minutes of flashbacks can't accomplish what you're hoping for, guys / gals. Every minute spent with out a focus on surviving in a world full of flesh eating zombies is a wasted minute of air time.

Like Donald Trump, you (the writers and producers) had a "great" opportunity and you've basically blown it. Currently, there isn't much else on so you have my attention on Sunday nights, but that will change soon. Get your shit together or I'm tuning out completely... ya' heard?!
