What kind of watch this is
Fear the Walking Dead is a 2015 action drama that asks what the world looked like just before the apocalypse hit. It swaps the established cast for a blended family in Los Angeles, watching them scramble to survive as civilization crumbles. Every decision is life or death, which keeps the stakes brutally high. With 8 seasons and 113 episodes, the series takes roughly 90 hours to finish. It is a long, grinding commitment that rewards patience.
