If your familiar with the walking dead this new spin off will fill a gap. Same production values it fills that space when it first starts and Rick is as sleep in his coma for the first few weeks of the start of the Apocalypse.
New characters, we follow mainly one dysfunctional family as the characters start to find out the extent of the infection and the rules that you know if you've seen the walking dead. It gives you an insight of how quickly organised society falls apart and those you trust are suddenly not trustworthy.
A good start to the new series with some lovely shots which play with the fact -are the walking dead. If you like walking dead then this is definitely worth watching.
Starts off OK, goes quickly downhill. There are plenty online reviews which can slate it far more eloquently than I can but clunky dialoque, characters you couldn't care less about, and some special effects that would look at home on 80's tv, are just a few of my gripes with this.
