I am a zombie addict.
I've never watched this show. I've seen every zombie movie imaginable.
Even the one with Jenna jameson....
Should I give this a watch?

It starts off great and continues to be so for a while, but goes downhill after season 6. I say go ahead and start but if at any point you find it boring, you wouldn't miss a lot if you stopped.
Haven't watched any of the spinoffs and don't plan to, nor do I have plans to watch the upcoming spinoffs they announced.

Of course. In it's prime it was absolute must see TV. Fair warning though it does peak in late season 6/early season 7. And they made some really terrible decisions in season 8 and 9 that permanently damaged the show and it was never able to fully recover. The last few seasons were still at least watchable though and better than most of the trash we have these days.

Haven't watched any of the spinoffs and don't plan to Why not? Season 3 of Fear may very well be the best season out of all the shows combined.
Why not? They are a fresh start with new showrunners, and (hopefully) new writers. Just because the main show went doesn't mean these will be.
Plus it's not like there is much else of worth to watch these days. In fact these spinoffs have the advantage of having characters we know are good, so choosing to watch one of those makes more sense then gambling on something totally new that will probably be bad and cancelled after 1 season.

I'm just so burnt out on this franchise, even with just the original show and I was always thinking about seeing other shows that I missed out on. I might give in and watch the upcoming spinoff sequels (Rick and Michonne, Daryl Dixon or Dead City) if I hear they're good. I agree that a lot of new shows don't have staying power and lose ratings and eventually get cancelled but low viewership can affect great shows too simply because not enough people tuned in and it sucks. |

And yeah there's many old good shows you should check out like the ones I mentioned the other day on General General.
As for the current/past spinoffs, I do think Fear is worth checking out, as the first 3 seasons are very good. There's a big shift in direction with season 4, and it's very hit or miss from then on, but the characters are really enjoyable and make up for it's shortcomings, including one of the coolest characters in the franchise, Alicia.
World Beyond is okay... it only has 2 seasons unfortunately. Not sure if it was cancelled or if it was intended to be short, but it was a shame nonetheless as it was getting quite interesting and had a few really good characters.
Tales is pretty terrible and I can't really recommend it in any way unless you're a big fan of some of the guest stars like Terry Crews.
Yeah good shows getting cancelled is indeed unfortunate and super annoying. Makes me wish any greenlit show came with an X season guarantee.

Heard mixed things on Fear, and wasn't sure about the reception of World Beyond and Tales. Here are some other TV shows I have lined up if you're curious: Batman: The Animated Series Breaking Bad Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel The Mandalorian |

Heard mixed things on Fear, and wasn't sure about the reception of World Beyond and Tales. General consensus seems to be the first 3 seasons and 6 are good. 4 and 5 were pretty mixed and 7 was not too well liked.
World Beyond may seem to have negative reception, but I believe that may be because people thought it was "woke". If they actually stopped to watch it, they could see it was pretty good.
Didn't pay much attention to what people thought of Tales. It doesn't really add anything of value to the show and can easily be ignored unlike the other 2 which have big connections to the main show.
Nice. I have seen Breaking Bad, Buffy and Angel. All great shows, especially Breaking Bad which is my #2 TV show.

The first three seasons are amazing. But after season 3, each season gets progressively worse. I'm talking the most boring, lazy writing you'll ever see in a series. I'd say watch the first 3 seasons and just read a brief synopsis of all the seasons that followm
