Fear The Walking Dead continues its return to form with an episode almost as intense and gripping as the premiere. This installment was mostly focused on Strand (Colman Domingo) and Alicia (Alycia Debnam Carey) and what has occurred to them since the season 5 finale. Revelations are made. Plot progresses in such natural and fast ways. It's compelling, it's rapidly fast paced.
Characters are more layered. The characterization of Strand is very strong. Alicia's also branching out (finally) rather than being the soft survivor that Season 5 made her out to be. The world building was shown in this episode as we saw the town of Lawton, we met various new faces. And there was A LOT OF DEATHS. Not major deaths but minor characters dying left and right.
The only thing I found bizarre about this week's installment is the poor characterization of the antagonists, the antagonists aren't as compelling or frightful as their leader. Virginia is a good villain, her dialogue is way more realistic and I prefer her over the main show's recent villain (Beta, not Alpha. Alpha was incredible). Not to mention, Colby Minifie is a powerhouse.
Fear is continuing it's pattern of great installments. Hopefully this level of quality continues.
