I've been watching Season 4 all day - this show has totally redeemed itself - getting rid of all of the original cast as regulars (with only Alicia left). I haven't watched it since the 2nd season.

I like Morgan as the lead and the other characters are actually fairly decent too - glad Strand is still around.

I dropped this show at season fours mid season finale. It stopped interesting me. I kind of hated where they took the show after the ranch storyline

Show should have been each season a different story of survivors in different time periods. Giving different POV from the outbreak event. Could have been a tool to explain things and tie up loose ends, complimenting at times the main story.

Since they basically ended up with a different cast in 4 seasons anyways

I dropped it the first few episodes of season 3.

It's just not interesting at all. More conflict among people and zombies are just a nuisance.

The daughter is the only thing I looked forward to

Season 4 lost me at the killer Alligator. Season 4 was an absolute mess in my opinion.

That's where I am now.

I'm the opposite, as far as watching the show goes. I haven't even seen the first season, and didn't start watching until about mid season 2. I agree that they don't seem to have a lot of zombie action. Maybe it's a budget issue, but it leads to some boring plots.

They still do ridiculous things like the always-hungry, super gator, but Max Headroom looks like he could be an interesting villain. I watch kind of on and off as it is, so it's not a big investment of time.

Week 2

It has the potential to rescue itself, but last week's continued use of scatterbrained time jumps seems to indicate that Gimpleton thinks this is his "signature style." Hopefully, they leave that behind.

Enjoyed this show the first few seasons, but I’ve been barely hanging on through the garbage scripts since the dam explosion. This season looks to be worse than them all. I’m done.

Agreed. It has basically just become The Walking Dead - Western Edition. I thought they were going to spend a lot more time around the initial outbreak and collapse of society. Season 1 did this but the rushed it and fast forwarded so quickly to around the same timeline as TWD. Now it just seems redundant. We even have Morgan (who I do like as an actor and character) doing pretty much his same thing making it even more repetitive of TWD. More time looking at the outbreak origin, fall of institutions (gov't, military, etc), people working/searching for a cure, etc would have maybe kept FTWD fresh instead of just becoming a probably lower budget TWD.

Okay, if there's anyone left watching this, I think y'all can quit now. That was the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

That was comical.


Besides, if there are three people who can handle a dozen walkers using only pointy things, it’s these three.

Instead they use all their ammo and a make believe circus shot.

TWD is past due as well. And they think they're going to make three movies out of this.

What happened? Surely it wasn't as bad as the rabid killer gator last season.
