'Fear The Walking Dead' Season 2 Premiere Review: Monster
FORBES
April 11

Fear the Walking Dead picks up where the short first season
ended, as our heroes flee the shores of Los Angeles for the safety of a
small yacht, Abigail.
Tensions are high as L.A. burns behind them, fire-bombed to hell by
the military. Most of the crew are strangers to one another, brought
together by the apocalypse, their old lives a fiery ruin.
Travis (Cliff Curtis) had to put a bullet in his ex-wife in the season one finale,
since she was bitten and would turn soon, and their son Chris (Lorenzo
James Henrie) is having a hard time getting past that—to the point that
he’s brought his mother’s body on board the ship.
And there’s tension between the survivors and their savior, the
mysterious Victor Strand (Colman Domingo) who constantly reminds them
that this is his boat, and he calls the shots. Madison (Kim Dickens)
really hates this, especially when calling the shots means Strand leaves
a bunch of people they pass by stranded at sea. (He’s not called Strand
for nothing!)
Of course, Madison wants to help them. But I’m with Strand and
Travis. You simply can’t bring on that many people and expect it to
work. They would run out of supplies instantly. Crowding and sickness
would almost certainly follow, and then a zombie outbreak and death.
Sometimes, in the apocalypse, you have to be cold and selfish. Madison
wants to be everyone’s hero. It’s actually a little annoying.
