The first part of season 6 is at the end of the road, and it dawned on me how important this show has been for a humble European in a sad time, marked by a worldwide pandemic. I'm not a person who tends to write reviews, but today I felt I had to.
To initially summarize the first half of the season, I would argue this is some of the better stuff The Walking Dead franchise has delivered in terms of content in recent years. A western based anthology story set in an apocalyptic world has proven to be the right strategy for a show that prevously has not properly found its foothold. Well, that is about to change, I actually choose to claim that Fear The Walking Dead has never been better than it is at the moment. And for this I want to express a BIG thank you to everyone involved creating this incredibly interesting sixth season! It means a lot to a loyal viewer who has always seen the potential in the series.
The episode itself is good, there are many nice moments and acting performances, in interaction with solid camera work and cinematography, dialogue and action. A special mention to Alycia Debnam-Carey who owned every single scene she was a part of. I've missed this version of Alicia, and now she's back better than ever. It is worth mentioning that this was not the original midseason final, this is unfortunately postponed until 2021.
There's so much going on at the moment, I can't help but wonder how it all with tie up in the end. Nevertheless, this episode lays the foundation for an exciting second part of the season. You can count on me being glued to the screen when that time comes. In times like this, this show is exactly what I need. Thank you.
