Originally presented as a series following the first generation of kids who grew up in the zombie apocalypse (Hope, Iris, Silas, and Elton), ruled over by the mysterious Civic Republic Military (CRM) who took Rick from "TWD" in 2018, the show set up certain expectations.įans likely thought we'd finally learn more about " the three rings" group, what happened to Rick, and the difference between getting labeled an "A" or a "B" by the CRM (a resolution which eventually came in a frustratingly tedious way, placing the impetus on viewers to draw their own conclusions).
"TWD: World Beyond" introduced us to four teens who grew up in the zombie apocalypse: Iris, Silas, Hope, and Elton. 'World Beyond' largely felt like a bait and switch at times in its first season, never fully exploring some of its most interesting characters and the Civic Republic. One of the biggest revelations by the show's end? Yeast is tested as a possible way to accelerate the dead's decomposition.

But I stuck it through because I was given the impression I needed to watch this show as a pre-requisite to whatever Rick Grimes movie was eventually coming.īy the end of season two, it wasn't as boring as Kirkman predicted, but the answers weren't as interesting or as mind-blowing as fans may have hoped for as the show honed in on the science of it all instead of exploring some of its more obvious and interesting plot points. After a decade of "TWD," fans didn't want to see what they had seen twice before with a new cohort. Like many "TWD" fans, I had a really tough time getting through the first season of "TWDWB." It was painfully slow paced with uninteresting teens who were apocalypse noobs. Though they weren't necessarily trying to find a cure to turn people back into humans, they were (and are still) trying to find a way to eradicate the dead. The limited series wrapped its 20-episode run Sunday night and by the end we were left with a group of scientists going into hiding to continue their work to save the world.
In 2015, before " Fear TWD" launched on AMC, creator Robert Kirkman said in the show's press notes, "If we were to do a companion to 'The Walking Dead' and it was about a bunch of scientists that were working to find the cure and finding out the origins, that would bore me to tears."įast-forward five years later, and that's partially what AMC did with spin-off, " The Walking Dead: World Beyond." The show's end feels like more a season cliffhanger than a finale.īogged down by a slow-paced first season, this would have been a stronger made-for-TV film. Warning: There are spoilers ahead for "TWD: World Beyond" series finale. "TWD: World Beyond" came to a close on Sunday.
