The Walking Dead Universe just wrapped up the seventh season of the original spin off show Fear the Walking Dead. I will continue to defend this show because I absolutely love the world and lore of The Walking Dead. I’m really easy to please when it comes to zombie stories and this season gives us some very cool new zombies, radioactive zombies that can’t touch you or you get sick. Following the events of last season when warheads were launched into the sky and destroyed large parts of Texas. The group finds themselves scattered (once again) across the state in different bunkers as they fight to survive in a whole new world with much more scarce food/water and supplies. But this time, the villain is one of our own, Coleman Domingo’s Victor. I think his character is very interesting but has never been given enough time to fully understand how his mind works. But what is most interesting is his relationship with Alycia Debnam Carey’s Alicia. Alicia has also been severely sidelined since Nick and Madison died and now it’s likely we won’t see her again as she has left the show. Which is why they needed to bring back Kim Dickens’s Madison. This show would not survive without any of the original Clark family around. And I don’t consider that a spoiler they it announced before this second half of the season and they put it in a trailer. Lennie James continues to shine as the new main character of this show. I love Morgan so much and hope we see so much more of him. Danay Garcia and Ruben Blades finally get a chance to shine with an entire episode to themselves. If you’ve seen my reviews for the past seasons you know how much I LOVE Mo Collins’s character and they do her so dirty this season. She’s in many episodes but gets nothing to do. Hope to see WAY more of you next season Mo! Jenna Elfman is another favorite of mine who is also severely sidelined this season even with many episodes focused on the building she’s in. I have no idea what they’re doing with Maggie Grace, her character is always gone and feels like a different person each time she comes back. Alexa Nisenson gets a few good episodes here but I’m afraid we won’t get much of her next season. Karen David is also gone for long stretches and is mostly only heard over walkie, and I hope we see her on screen some more going forward. Austin Amelio still works really well on this show and I like where his story has gone with Christine Evangelista. The two of them did good work on the OG Walking Dead and have moved to Fear very well. I’ve never understood where they wanted to take Colby Hollman’s character Wes. And this season he completely switches personalities but I felt he did a great job with what was given to him. Daryl Mitchell, Keith Carradine, Peter Jacobson, Omida Btahi, Spenser Granesse, Gus Halper, and Aisha Tyler all do really good for their roles whether big or small but they each get some good scenes or a good episode. I think this show has lost direction and they keep recycling plot points. I still like the show a great deal but they need a serious shake up to the writers room. Something like Walking Dead had between seasons 8 and 9. Someone with an idea and a direction. I’m still excited to see where the next season goes, excited to see more Madison and finally learn about Padre. I’m giving season seven of Fear the Walking Dead a 7/10. One of the weakest seasons of the series but still something I enjoyed watching each week. What other major show stars three people of color in the main roles? The diversity here has always been great and I hope to see it continue in season eight in October (I assume). -Tyler.
