Fear the Walking Dead’s second season manages to maintain the great momentum of the first, even as it transitions to a new arc. It’s also much more fun than it sounds (even though half of the cast is made up of angsty teenagers), as the show takes typical story tropes and manages to smoothly mix them with zombie-horror adventures.

As The Walking Dead began its second season, the characters became mired in an endless storyline at a small farm in rural Georgia, a farm where they stayed for almost the entire season. The comics had done it, so the show did too. Fear the Walking Dead tells what appears to be a similar story, but it's over within an episode. Sometimes not having anybody to copy is the best thing that can happen.

Amo essa temporada! Muito bom como a série conta várias histórias em uma temporada bem criativas e cativante!

Way better than expected. People complaining about it would probably rather see a constant Zombie slashing, instead of authentic characters in a crisis.

Until the writers figure out how to better serve Dickens and Curtis--who are reduced to passively reacting to things around them--there's a vacuum on Fear the Walking Dead that's undercutting its forward momentum, just as it has solved its lack of action issue with the zombies.

The stumbling spin-off makes a wearisome return by quickly reverting to that frustrating first-season form.

The idea of capturing the zombie apocalypse as it began, from a character-driven, family drama point of view, wasn’t a bad one, but this “Walking Dead” spin-off thus far hasn’t developed a cast to keep the premise afloat.

Its first installments are off to a shaky start, with too much emphasis on ultimately pointless diversions and not enough on the potentially rich blend of character dynamics the series seemed well on its way to exploring by the end of last season.

The series fails so spectacularly on the level of characterization that its occasional grace notes, mostly concerning how catastrophe changes the circuitry of family dynamics, feel accidentally stumbled upon.

Me and my hubby are hooked! The pace and character dynamics are different to TWD, but that's good, because too much of the same thing is boring.There's a lot of fluidity as the story moves from place to place, so there's constant changes for the characters to combat. They adapt at every turn, ensuring they always do what's necessary to survive, and showing us the depth of their complexity. Overall, it's a compelling second season. The season finale cliff-hanger has left me wanting more. I honestly can't wait to find out what happens in S3 and am thrilled they're making it a couple of episodes longer.

The characters are interesting and a select few are even likeable. The show looks nice but is really just a hit or miss. The first half of the season was boring except for a few parts, but it was able to pick up at the end. The show isn’t bad, but it is just barely good. An improvement on the first season for sure, but still not quite living up to the potential. Rating - 61%

I am officially done with this show. I thought after a mediocre first season they would have learned from their mistakes and made a real, hardcore, AMC show. But no, once again, they've disappointed. I have seen one episode this season, and that is all I am going to see.

Fear the Walking Dead has cheapened the franchise in so many ways. Ranging from poor logic in character and story, easy scriptwriting and replicated thematic points from the original. With an infinite arsenal to create Spin Off's for this franchise they could have brought us closer to ground zero of the disease and how it spread. It just cheapened the franchise... Now people are going to be more reluctant to follow other stories once TWD is over.

A complete snoozefest--until the last 15 minutes--and then at least the writing was so bad that it added some unintentional humor to entertain everyone. This is a bad show.
