DAJK Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The pilot was tedious in my opinion, nowhere near as intriguing or gripping as TWD's premiere was. That being said, I never expected this to be as good as TWD. But american ratings seem to be pretty good, so I expect this show will stick around for a while. May as well stick with it at least for the first season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) The fist season of TWD was fantastic. The first season of FTWD so far is on the same level as TWD nowadays, a bore to sit trough with some incredibly bland and dumb characters.

zerbs Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The series is taking its time. I think it will only get more interesting though. Now we get to see the military vs zombies. I can understand why they are staying put though. This is the series that is supposed to show how everything goes down and the perspective of the downfall of civilization. So even though I can't stand what the characters are doing, I understand what the show is trying to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShark Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I think the series gets better and better with each new episode 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The characters do dumb shit that makes you shout at the screen. That's a horror movie tradition that fits perfectly with this stage of the zombie apocalypse where people don't know what's going on. But characters also say powerful and poignant things. I enjoy this mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The leads are super shit. The girl turning back alone in the middle of the night is just epic dumb and no justification possible. The premise of showing the outbreak is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet his cousin won't show up either I am pretty sure he said the cousin thing was a lie just so they could stay in the house overnight, and then once the family left figure out what to do with no one else bothering them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought the same. Two episodes left in this season. I am sure the next one will expand to 10 episodes like TWD did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC1987 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 7.185 million views for Episode 3, still down less than 30% from the 10.1 million who watched the Season Premiere. A 3.6 rating in the key 18-49 demo, the only show to get higher than a 1.0 on Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
