Fear the Walking Dead premiered a few weeks ago attracting over 10 million viewers in the US alone. As a prequel to the currently on hiatus hit TV drama The Walking Dead, it has been quite a success. The series takes place during the time in which Rick Grimes (one of the main protagonists in The Walking Dead) is in a coma. During this coma, the zombie apocalypse begins as disease and desperation takes over the world. Particularly, the introduction to the show is captivating and intriguing drawing in viewers from the first minute of air time. Fear the Walking Dead doesn't move too fast in terms of death and destruction but rather utilizes the time they've been given to realistically display the slow and steady ruination of society whilst simultaneously remaining dramatic and gruesome.
After airing 2 episodes, the show has left it's millions of viewers on a cliff hanger during a 1 week hiatus which is both frustrating as well as an effective method of keeping their audience hungry for more.
