Fear the Walking Dead: The Complete Sixth Season arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from Lionsgate on August 31st. This horror series stars Lennie James, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Maggie Grace, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia and Keith Carradine.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond: Season One is the second spin-off from the hit TV series, this one seemingly aimed more at a teen audience. The Blu-ray and DVD was released on June 15th and comes with a few featurettes.
The Walking Dead: The Complete Ninth Season is a solid enough entry into the series and offers some interesting little twists with the ensemble characters and the departure of one of the original cast in Andrew Lincoln.
The Walking Dead never was must-watch television for me and going on eight seasons, although it is certainly entertaining and engaging, I can’t say I’ll really watch it live nor do I find myself deeply invested with these characters, though the acting generally is strong.
“Fear the Walking Dead” doesn’t have much to offer over its parent show but the performances by the likes of Cliff Curtis and Kim Dickens aren’t bad even when their characters act like utter dumb-asses. Perhaps the second season it’ll hit its stride but as of now, I’m not sure there’s really reason for it being.
