We ’re totally excited about AMC ’s companion show to The Walking Dead : new characters , a new setting , and a floor that takes place “ during Rick ’s coma , ” according to the AMC White House who bring in the Comic - Con screening of the reverence the Walking Dead . Here are our spoiler - free first impressions !
The timing of the show is important , for obvious reasonableness . Unlike the eerie first step of The Walking Dead , which sees hurt cop Rick Grimes waking in a hospital and realizing everything familiar has been pass over out , Fear commence on just another day in Los Angeles . None of the characters roll in the hay what they ’re in for , but the consultation does , and we ’re give all fashion of clue of impend day of reckoning . When Madison , the mellow - school day counseling counsellor toy by Kim Dickens , confiscates a tongue from a nervous bookman , she think he ’s carry it because he ’s been bullied — a coherent conclusion . But the zombie - aware watcher get laid precisely what the tiddler , who mutters about “ news report in five commonwealth ” and “ it ’s spreading , ” is afraid of .
Of course , we get some flesh - ripping quite early in the instalment ( not a pamperer , since it ’s in the newest trailer , released at Comic - Con and paste below ) . It ’s a hell of a matter , Madison ’s riotous son Nick ( Frank Dillane ) discovers , to be one of the first people to see a automaton flack , only to have everyone write off your warnings as the raving of a drug junky . And for awhile , Nick ’s worried that they ’re right , and that he ’s really losing his mind . Nick ’s clearly been an uttermost germ of latent hostility for some prison term , to the annoyance of his babe , eminent - schooler Alicia ( Alycia Debnam - Carey ) , and the genuine business organization of Madison ’s boyfriend , Travis ( Cliff Curtis ) , who has an x - married woman and surly teen son of his own . The theme of family is going to be a openhanded one in Dead , and it ’s presented in a realistically complicated light . Everybody ’s meddlesome , everybody ’s doing their own matter , but everybody drops everything to help out when a crisis flares .
Of course , the pilot does n’t have every character from the show in it ; you ’ll have to hold on until a belated episode to see what role Rubén Blades will play in all this ( though he ’s in the trailer , and pop the question some insighthere . ) What you do get is the sensory faculty that something immense , sprawling , and nightmarish is on the purview , and it ’s start from this speck blank space of one otherwise unremarkable kin . Most of the first two minutes of the preview are from the pilot ; the final minute suggests this show is n’t operate to wait too long before it gravel insane and ( what looks to be ) very scary . And sure , we ’ve seen the zombie Revelation imagined onscreen many , many clock time before . But in Dead , we ’re experiencing it alongside characters that’ve had time to develop ; we actually wish them , for the most part , and we ’ve encounter them battling everyday topsy-turvyness . This only makes us more eager to see how they ’ll oppose to mobs of hungry undead … and whether or not they ’ll be able-bodied to survive .
