Autumn TV Finales - Fear the Walking Dead - Season Seven

The seventh season of Fear the Walking Dead, really was a tough watch.

Part A commenced back October 17, 2021, with Part B returning around Easter, concluding on June 5.

Consisting of sixteen (at times, long drawn out) episodes, this season followed Morgan's group scattered across the landscape of Texas as they try to survive the nuclear fallout brought about by Teddy (John Glover) and his followers. Meanwhile, Morgan Jones (Lennie James) and Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) clash over their philosophies.

The Walking Dead franchise is really not at all what it used to be.

With almost all the original cast out of the picture now, a nuclear explosion last season/into this season, where will this series end?


With The Walking Dead ending sometime later this year, a couple of spin-offs on the way, surely the can bury this once watchable series like the parent show?

With very few creative ways for one to slay a zombie after seven seasons of Fear then some many Walking Dead episodes. There is very little new ground for the show to cover.

This spin off was once an OK companion. Now it's just a real red hot mess.

Audiences have almost disappeared with the most watched episode this season gathering just over a million live viewers, followed by 1.5 million viewers including DVR ratings.

From an opening season one episode of ten million viewers, the show has really lost its audience along with its way.

RIP the Walking Dead franchise, this was truly lazy, lame escapism TV.
