This is a pity, because writer/director Justin Trefgarne has assembled a strong cast and has the beginnings of a good idea. At the start, a title tells us we’re in 2044 London. Drug company kingpin Todd Ambro (James Callis) […]Read On »

Although it is co-created by THE WALKING DEAD comics originator Robert Kirkman, AMC’s FEAR THE WALKING DEAD is set across the country (in Los Angeles, rather than the American South) and some time earlier than both the comics and THE WALKING DEAD.

Kirkman and Dave Erickson use FEAR to explore the beginning of the zombie apocalypse, when people at first have no idea what […]Read On »
