Even though Season 6 is better than 5, most fans say stop watching after Season 3
Some "The Walking Dead" fans expressed some heated disappointment in "Fear the Walking Dead" after the show stopped being a prequel to the hit original series. A Reddit thread dedicated to the show's downfall turned up some pretty pointed discussion as to where and why the show fell off. "Quit now if you value your time. Just about anyone could write better fan fiction than the s*** they put out after Season 3," u/blue_sleeve said in response to the poster who asked if they should continue watching after being disappointed with Season 5. Redditor u/Darwing felt a certain character was keeping the show together for them. "After Nick died in Season 4 that was the end of the show," they opined.
Some viewers don't even know why they were still watching the show after Season 3. User u/Gseph noted, sounding more let down than mad at the show, "Thinking back, I can't remember the last time I actually enjoyed the show, post reboot." From the sound of things, fans don't seem to think the show got much better after Season 5, despite some interesting choices in Season 6. Redditor u/jvp180 said, "5 and 7 are the worst. The first half of 6 was fairly decent. [It] just went downhill somewhere after the midpoint."
User u/MoxOmega seemed to think that fans like Season 6 better because Season 5 was so bad. "Season 6 is ok, but not as great as people make it out to be. It's mainly because Season 5 set the bar so low that it couldn't get any worse."
Fans will have to see if the show improves as "Fear the Walking Dead" returns for its 8th and final season in May of this year.
