Did this board give up on Fear the Walking Dead?

It's not a great show, but I watch it to help with The Walking Dead withdrawals. In fact, no way would I even watch this show if The Walking Dead didn't exist.

It's purely a hate watch for me at this point.

TERRIBLE writing.

My family gave up a few episodes ago. I'm trying to ride it out still I really think they blew it. They should have really focused on how it all went down - a slow take on the very early stages would have been a great watch. But they failed at this even in the first season, and then for season 2 they stick everyone on a boat. WTF? Missed opportunity. If I didn't have all day every day with nothing to do, I'd have given it up long ago.

Episode 1 was garbage
Episodes 2, 3, and 4 were pretty dang good
Episode 5 was garbage
Hasn't seen 6 yet

The show is nothing but average.

I follow game of thrones with it. Its like chasing Redbreast 21 with a shot of water.

Writing and delivery are both weak, but the SO and I will finish out this season. If it gets better, her and i will give s3 a chance.

Once GoT came back I dropped this show. Recorded it on DVR the first few times but realized I wasn't attempting or inclined to watch the recording. Don't even bother to set the DVR now. Pretty sure I am done.

They took the Skylar White character...gave her a shitty, boring husband...surrounded her with zombies.


I'm just no longer interested

I watched 2 episodes and quit.

I only made it 4 episodes in the original though, so may not be a good baromter By that point, I was already cheering for the zombies because all those people were terrible.

Aside from the old man and the black guy, the only thing keeping these characters alive is the poor writing.

-The blonde chick is exactly what BHP described.
-The husband character seems like he could be good if he was harder (more like the old man), but with him being written as constantly clueless it just doesn't work.
-The daughter is cute and all, but she could give Season 2 -"Coral" a run for his money in the "All You Do Is frick Things Up" department.
-The old man's daughter is forgettable. I think all she's done the past few episodes is sit around and heal.
-The black guy was intriguing at the beginning but lost his luster for me when he tried to flee on the raft. Smart guy like that trying to PADDLE away from a boat with armed people on it?
-Speaking of him, the gay couple had no organics to it, it felt forced and blatant. Like it was nothing more than "Hey! We haven't had two gay guys in the ZA yet, so let's grab the next two male actors and make them gay!"
-The drug-head son is annoying. They are trying to make him almost like a young Rick, but something about the character just isn't working.
-The other son... WTF are they doing with him this last episode? Makes no damned sense.

And that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the main characters.

Just very frustrated with the whole idiot survivor thing. They just can't figure things out and not constantly take stupid and unnecessary risks.

"We need to save them!!"
"We don't have enough food for them and us."
"But we need to save them!! I'm gonna save them....Oh shite!!"

They are at the equivalent of Herschel's farm now in Mexico. And guess what? (Minor spoiler ahead if you have not watched the recent episode.) The owner has a bunch of zombies locked up that she is feeding and protecting.

Lazy frickers couldn't even come up with a new story.

Since you care about it, why quit it?

I wanted to like it. I hate the characters and would like to see them all get eaten.
