Sometimes I feel like I watch Fear more out of some strange sense of obligation than actual enjoyment. The show often just plods along. Being a spin-off of a zombie show, it checks the same zombie bullet points of the genre, just with a different set of characters (and location).

There seems to be more boring characters (less interesting anyway) than good ones and it’s like I’m just waiting for someone to deservedly get eaten. The writers do tend to eventually get to point and it’s enjoyable and that’s where the entertainment comes in.  I just don’t have that connection to any of the characters like I do with the main series. I wouldn’t be bothered if the whole cast got wiped out. I completely forgot about Ofelia. I don’t remember when she left the main group. So seeing her hoof it on her own sometimes gets nothing more than an “alright” out of me.

The last two episodes of this season were far and away the best. Chris’ story with his dad completed and turned out well. Significant character changes and it led to quite a bit of carnage and threw everything into the air again.

The laziness creeps up in this show too much. Those moments where they need something to happen (namely action) just for something to happen and it’s done all wrong. In this season, the random bad guys who show up to shoot a small horde on a wide empty road. Despite having long range guns and plenty of room to back up (or just get out of the way) they all die. Literally just stood there for the walkers to get to them. Brain dead stuff.

I keep telling myself to dump the show because I don’t think I’m going to miss anything. I never go through with it. Considering I liked the finale, I’m in for next years premiere. We’ll see how it goes.
