Fear the Walking Dead - S1 • E1 Ratings & Reviews
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
"Pilot" suffers because it feels like an hour-long D.A.R.E. special about the dangers of doing drugs.
Black Girl Nerds
Alexis J.
[It] is such a fascinating show, taking us back through the eyes of a family before the entire world descends into unimaginable chaos...I personally find it more terrifying than TWD.
Black Nerd Problems
Keith Reid-Cleveland
With the premiere of the prequel series, we're taken into previously unseen parts of The Walking Dead's universe as we're shown the events that occur just prior to the zombie outbreak in a completely different part of the country.
Digital Spy
Alex Mullane
Fear The Walking Dead's opener shows promise, but ultimately lacks bite.

Asaf López
It's off to a great start, but we need to watch more to see if it will stay this good. [Full review in Spanish]
RedEye
Ben Bowman
There's a problem with a pilot when your sullen main characters are the ones you wish were most likely to be eaten.
Total Film
Will Salmon
It's... not bad. It's not essential -- not yet -- and it's certainly not up there with the best of the main series, but there's potential here, albeit spread a little thin.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
A fascinating spin on the franchise that looks to be much more of a psychological thriller than its more action-focused big brother.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
Fear the Walking Dead still has some kinks to work out, but maybe that's a good thing, as it means this prequel has something to build toward besides the end of the world as we know it.
TV Fanatic
Sean McKenna
Fear the Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 1 put my own fears to rest, delivering a tense, engaging, and worthy addition to The Walking Dead.
TV.com
Cory Barker
The show is working hard enough to differentiate itself from the original flavor, the performances are certainly good enough, and there are enough good individual moments or flourishes to keep me interested.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Fear the Walking Dead takes ample advantage of its large setting and new blood. From churches and alleyways to beaches and freeways, the slow-boil large landscape aspects of the story are exciting.
Rolling Stone
Noel Murray
"Pilot" is nowhere near that good [as the original's pilot]. But it is strong enough to suggest a bright future for this spin-off.
Entertainment Weekly
Jonathon Dornbush
The premiere is a slow build, steeped in some disappointing cliches, but it seems to be taking some specific steps to stand on its own.
AV Club
Josh Modell
A show without a popular mythology already in place probably wouldn't have taken the chance on scene-setting that this episode does, slowly introducing the characters and barely hinting at the mass-scale horror to come.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Simon Abrams
While "Pilot" doesn't always work, it's rarely boring, and always at least strives for a humanistic/optimistic effect that the last two seasons of AMC's The Walking Dead haven't achieved.
Variety
Matthew Chernov
After the generic familial drama that took up most of the story, this final bloody image brings things to a satisfying close for fans of the original series.
Wall Street Journal
Paul Vigna
A fantastic introduction into this dark world.
Observer
Vinnie Mancuso
Fear the Walking Dead, slow in its pilot but promising, needs to decide which version of this story it wants to be.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
Like the original, the show has an admirably diverse cast without making a big deal about it in the story itself, which makes its world seem more lived in and real.
