Hey readers are you watching that prequel series to “The Walking Dead” called “Fear The Walking Dead” at all? I gave some of the first season a go but more on that later. The show was renewed for a second season and I guess will move us closer to the world that many find themselves glued to each and every week when it airs. That second season has its premiere tonight on the AMC network. Here is the shows poster along with the premise and casting. As usual I will chime in at the close.
The Premise: The season follows a dysfunctional, blended family composed of high school guidance counselor Madison Clark, her English teacher boyfriend Travis Manawa, her daughter Alicia, her drug-addicted son Nick, Travis’ son Chris from a previous marriage, and others who join their group at the onset of the zombie apocalypse. (thanks Wiki).

PiercingMetal Thoughts: So I must admit that I didn’t stick with the series after a few episodes of the first season. I wasn’t compelled by the characters at all but I add also that I was busy doing other things while it ran. Now that the second season is off and running later on tonight (or just happened depending on when you actually read this announcement), I will make sure the DVR is capturing the new episodes while I watch the older ones with focus On Demand. Are you a fan of this one? What do you think so far and please no spoilers in any comments just in case some other readers of the site are in the same boat as I am. Thanks and see you next time.
