With new viewers discovering previous seasons on Hulu and other streaming services, “Fear the Walking Dead” is on its way to becoming a cult favorite in comparison to its predecessor.
AMC’s iconic zombie series “The Walking Dead” was at the height of its popularity when “Fear the Walking Dead” premiered in 2015, so anticipation was understandably through the roof for the franchise’s first official spinoff show. But despite that early excitement, “Fear the Walking Dead” never quite connected with viewers the way the original did. Many fans complained that it lacked the gripping intensity of “The Walking Dead.
Yet as its eighth and final season approaches with its May 14 premiere, “Fear the Walking Dead” has steadily amassed a loyal and discerning audience who believe the show actually improves on the original in a number of areas, both big and small. And with new viewers discovering previous seasons on Hulu and other streaming services, “Fear the Walking Dead” is on its way to becoming a cult favorite in comparison to its predecessor.
As a result, the show feels more inventive and less preordained than “The Walking Dead.” In its first seven seasons, it switched gears repeatedly, throwing creative curveballs that kept viewers constantly on edge. And nowhere was that more evident than in the unexpected turn it took between Seasons 3 and 4. The first three seasons of “Fear the Walking Dead” chronicled the harrowing plight of the Clark family as the zombie apocalypse destroyed the world around them.
But on “Fear the Walking Dead,” Morgan finally became a rich and well-rounded figure who drove the plot forward. He gained agency, and stepped up to the plate as a pivotal group leader rather than a frustrating follower. And James more than rose to the occasion, delivering an extraordinary performance that took a sidelined character and made him indispensable.
