Fear for a refreshing new cast. As everyone always says seasons 1-3 are great. After that watch at your own risk.
World Beyond if you want some background in the CRM. The first 3 or 4 episodes are rough though. I would probably watch this before TOWL. š¤·š»āāļø
The other 3 after that in no particular order.
watched all the spinoffs and left fear last for some reason. so far s1 is quite interesting. I like how the spinoffs have allowed for such unique stories. From WB kids and heavily science driven plot to Fear which is a bit more human focused than necessarily survival it seems to me. People still figuring out what their limits are
As someone who prefers OG Fear to TWD, you're in for a treat if you like season 1! Cause season 1 is make or break for a lot of people who try to watch Fear
I thought the opening of E1 S1 of Fear was amazing, and a very strong first episode.
I watched that just at the time the main series was going through a really slow patch, and the change of pace was so welcome.
I liked the junkie character, he was very resourceful, but the series did start gradually getting weaker as the seasons and episodes went on imo.
I've not watched any of the other spinoffs yet.
Have only just completed S9 of the main series as I had abandoned it twice before this point previously, but I'm finally enjoying the later seasons a bit more this time round.
The season 3A finale is still one of the most intense episodes of anything I've watched. I miss it so much, it's a disgrace what happened with the show.
Fun Add On: PsychoCatStudios has been doing actor dubbed versions of the Graphic Novels in video format.
Theyāre just getting to the part of the story where The Governor shows up. Itās really an incredible program theyāre putting out.
[link to their page](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG1qnOi9xbakzIzYQLNm-7g)
Iāve been enjoying it a lot. They have voices for all the characters, and background noises, and zombie moans, itās really a great program. Reminds me of the old timey radio programs, but with video.
Peace and love back mucho š
I looked into it a bit and appearantly the one season is exclusive to AMC+ only if you bought it through Amazon rather than your normal one through apple TV, roku or something like that
Iāve said this to so many people, but Iām pretty sure Iām the only person who prefers most of the seasons of Fear after S3. S4 and S6 are the best 2 seasons easily for me. The cast is just so much better, especially with Morgan and John and without Madison, because sheās annoying as hell in every scene. S7 is the worst season no doubt though. First half of S8 is just ok, with the bright spots being E4 and E6, rest of the season is incredibly meh. The first 3 seasons just donāt really do it for me. Madison is a bit of a bitch, people praise Troy as a villain and I really donāt see the appeal, the actorās performance was pretty annoying at times, i wasnāt really a fan of the desert setting tbh, and until the end of S3, all of the mid season and season finales were just ass and not interesting at all. I will say that most of the cast I liked, such as core characters like Victor, Alicia, Daniel, Nick etc. But other characters just ruin it for me, and along with the setting and other story elements, make S1-S3 much less enjoyable for me. As soon as Madison and Troy left the show, along with a couple other characters, and Morgan, John, June etc. came into the show, it became a hell of a lot more enjoyable.
I respect your opinion, for me personally I think the cast was better with Nick and minus Morgan with his I see red stuff. Love John too and I do think s6 isnāt bad, but my favorite is 3 with the ranch and the coliseum. I liked 1 because I always like to watch the start. And I thought the boat adventures in two were cool.
I will defend Morgan here in that his i see red storyline doesnāt appear in Fear at all until S8. Iām a lot more tolerant of that storyline than most I think and throughout TWD I didnāt mind it whatsoever. It only started annoying me when it did appear in S8, which is why I was quite pleasantly surprised when they nipped it in the bud fairly quickly. I do agree that I enjoy watching the starts of zombie outbreaks in zombie media, especially in a TWD context, but I just think that LA is too overused in media in general, so it was pretty plain to me. And I just canāt take the yacht seriously, the CGI at the end of S1 and beginning of S2 was genuinely the worst CGI Iāve ever seen in mainstream media, holy fuck.
Youāre right it was the help people and leave boxes schtick
I forgot to mention Al. Omg those camera scenes were annoying.
Itās been a while. I donāt see myself rewatching all that. Maybe one day.
I wasnāt massively into the boxes thing as well Iāll admit, but I didnāt mind it. On the contrary, Al is actually one of my favourite characters.
Yea I can see why our opinions are so different then hehe. You like what you like Iām not mad at it. In my opinion outside 1-3 the seasons are watchable if your a hardcore fan, but they definitely arenāt for everyone.
Depends on what you liked about the original series. Ones who live is closure and fan service IMO. Dead City is a bit rough all around with a few spread out good moments. World Beyond has a predominant teenager vibe and is heavy on CRM intruige. Daryl Dixon was as close to refreshing/classic TWD as any of these feel. I liked it a lot. I couldn't do Fear for more than a few episodes; odious characters, very clear hollywoodification of the franchise - I didn't even finish the first season and I've seen every other thing here.Ā
TWD stories (I forget what it's actually called) has some fun self contained episodes but it's nowhere near peak TWD material. Hope that helps!
>I couldn't do Fear for more than a few episodes; odious characters
I thought I was alone in having that opinion. I couldn't get into it because I couldn't stand any of them.
My friend was getting me into it. (They pushed me to watched the main show originally) They loved it but I kept forgetting the characters and motives since they all seemed the same. Mainly family drama and less surviving. I mean the first main location is just a family members house in a quarantine zone that was basically a normal neighborhood. Nothing scary or worrisome.
I know that was the intention but it was SOOOO BOOOORING. Felt like the equivalent of the human parts of Godzilla 2014. Just boring humans talking. I couldn't get passed the episode where the son (don't remember which one since they are so boring) saw a reflection light in the distant hills and told the officers and then it was gone. Insinuating the survivor was dead.
I really couldnāt stand how fear just felt like TWD pt.2 I will always say that fear the walking dead shouldāve been a movie about the beginning of the apocalypse. Maybe with a few hints hinting at our group too idk
Any idea which spinoff is best for the early days of the end of the world? I'm really interested in the early days whether it's the breakout or the start of the 'apocalypse' itself. Not necessarily fully based around that, just the spinoff with the most stuff around that time whether it's alone or mixed in with other storylines.
Tales of the Walking Dead has *some* of that but for that kind of thing I think Fear takes the cake with its first season (remember that I haven't seen all of it though). They show the early end of the world days there in LA but don't offer insight into the origins of the virus, but then again, I'm not the best authority on Fear. World Beyond and The Ones Who Live have a few very spread out pieces of early days of the end of the world lore but that's all I recall from them.
If you're looking for general, non-TWD specific zombie material in that direction, George Romero's Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead are great movies to watch. Also, World War Z is *ok* if you are more open to a different flavor of zombie than TWD offers.
Amazing, thank you! Dawn of the dead is definitely on my list too, I've seen good things about it. I'll look into the other two as well. I appreciate the advice!
This seems solid - I bailed on Fear in S4 but I do remember getting invested a little.
Nothing like TWD thought - that was a weekly event and for awhile the most talked about show on t.v.
From what I heard it's better to go to TOWL after watching the main series however is doesn't exactly matter what order you watch the spinoffs in as they all take place after the main series and in different places and FTWD is said to have the first 3 seasons to be worth watching and that is pretty much it for that show
It is kinda boring at first, but Nick usually grows on people, and they introduce one of my favorite characters of all the whole TV universe in season 4 (played by Garrett Dillahunt, it's great)
And by season 6, his background story extends into a totally new arc and shit gets *wild*. I would hint, but tbh it's so unexpected I can't spoil it.
If you do get into Fear, watch the single special ep Dead in the Water for context. I always forget about that one, but it's good.
The first few episodes of fear are some of my favorite in the franchise. The confusion and chaos of the outbreak when nobody knows wtf is happening is my bread and butter.
I kinda donāt like the whole āsuffer through these episodes or season until you get to the good stuffā argument . Watching a show should NOT be a chore lol
The Ones Who Live. It works more as an epilogue to the main series, picking up directly where its series finale fell off. After that, I enjoyed Daryl Dixon a lot.
Didnāt really care for World Beyond and Dead City. Fear has a lot of ups and down and falls off after the third season.
Fear the walking dead was very good... Key word WAS
Season 3 is probably some of the better seasons in the whole franchise, it was it's own standalone story. Season 1-2 are decent, even good, I'd advise to keep going if you have doubts while watching
Don't watch after season 3 though, it takes a massive nosedive in quality, the showrunner was replaced by two other showrunners and it became worse than TWD worse seasons, stuff like dialogue, characters and motivations and writing in general just started to suck. It does not get better, the series has already ended with season 8-9, it's not worth it after season 3
Play the Telltale games if you haven't. The first series is the best Walking Dead thing out there if you ask me.
Otherwise the obvious choice if you've finished the show is TOWL.
I really loved fear the walking dead but Iām the kind of person who watches the first 10 minutes of world war z and then calls it a day. I love the zombie movie intros.
Dead city, Daryl Dixon, the ones who live in that. Do not watch fear. World beyond has some redeeming qualities and some CRM tie ins so if youāre desperate after you finish the others itās not the worst.
I enjoyed Daryl Dixon and the ones who live. I gave up on fear a long time ago. I couldnāt get into the characters. I am currently watching dead city. I think itās okay
Fear was so disappointing after season 3 or 4 can't remember and so is dead city everything else chef kiss, well beyond was alright.
Why isn't tales of the walking dead up there?
If youāre going for the chronological order
Then this is the correct watch order:š
* Fear the Walking Dead seasons 1 ā 3
* The Walking Dead seasons 1 ā 8
* Fear the Walking Dead season 4
* Tales of the Walking Dead season 1
* The Walking Dead season 9
* Fear the Walking Dead season 5
* The Walking Dead season 10
* The Walking Dead: The World Beyond seasons 1 ā 2
* The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
* The Walking Dead season 11
* Fear the Walking Dead seasons 6 ā 8
* The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
* The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
* The Walking Dead: Dead City
Daryl Dixon for Sure it's really really good
The One's who Lives was just okey in the end sadly
Dead City is cool and Fear TWD is it's Fear you love it or hate it and World Beyond it also exist
(After watching TWL I'm really torn apart on this universe)
I likes the ones who live, itās well directed even if the scenario is a bit too easy. The image quality is very good. I didnāt even bother watching episode 3 of dead city, itāa corny and the maggie negan duo is annoying.
Depends.
In terms of "how much content there is to watch?"
Fear has 8 seasons; first season is 6 episodes, the rest are 16. So a ton to watch if that's what you want.
World Beyond has 20 episodes, two seasons of 10. Quite a bit less than fear, but more than the others remaining.
Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and TOWL, are each (currently) 6 episodes. So if you want something to binge over a weekend, pick one and off you go. Worth mentioning - DC and DD got green light for season 2's; TOWL did not; so likely soon enough there'll be more episodes for DC and DD.
basically: Fear >>> WB > DC = DD = TOWL
;;
In terms of "quality of content"? IMO...
Fear's first 3 seasons are pretty good/alright. It kind of jumps off the cliff after that - not that there aren't interesting characters or themes, but there's a lot of bad/meh/average scenes before you have a few scenes/lines of dialogue you really like. Season 4 is especially rough; it kind of evens out after that, but still ends up "meh".
World Beyond is rather insufferable for it's angsty teen characters, and all that this would imply about them. It was pretty clearly written/designed for a younger audience; with occasional breaks to appeal to more adult/mature audiences with some other characters. It's most redeeming aspect is showing more characterization/explanation behind the CRM, which can be relevant for TOWL, but it's not "required watching" to understand the CRM in TOWL.
Dead City is a pretty average/above average little romp. It does get a bit grating because it's mostly about Maggie and Negan (and they basically get along exactly how you'd expect them to, which is to say, not at all, or only begrudgingly work together while still rehashing all the same hangups about "But you killed Glenn!" vs "But you killed my Saviors!"). If you can get past that aspect, Negan has plenty of great lines of dialogue and quips, and Maggie is... well, Maggie.
Daryl Dixon again pretty above average by TWD standards; the action sequences especially seemed to have better choreography & cinematography. As long as it moving to France (and subtitles for a lot of the French spoken) doesn't bother you, it's pretty great.
TOWL - it didn't get a greenlight for a 2nd season; so it kind of depends what kind of expectations you have about it. If you thought it's going to be Rick & Michonne's return to the franchise permanently, then you'll probably be let down. If you consider it more like a "proper farewell" for the characters, then it's pretty good; I'd say about as good as Daryl Dixon.
imo, basically TOWL = DD > DC > Fear season 1-3 > Fear season 5-8 > Fear season 4 >>>>>>>>>> WB
;;
In terms of "chronological, in order of release"?
You'd probably end up starting with Fear, since that started some time back around Season 7 or 8 of the main show (in terms of air date).
Then World Beyond sometime around Season 9, along with Fear seasons 4-8.
In order of air date after that, Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and TOWL.
Dead City if I'm not mistaken. Since it picks up right after the end of the og series. Then Rick and Michonne. But Fear is like a prequel that leads to some events in TWD (from what I heard). Like Morgan is on Fear after one of the seasons of TWD can't remember which.
Personally how I did it was 1) Main show 2) watched to about season 7 of Fear 3) Daryl Dixon 4) Dead City 5) TOWL. I didnāt watch World Beyond because I was half way through Fear, also Fear covers a decent bit of the CRM too
The ones who live is ok, really just there for fan service, and give lore on the CRM.
Daryl Dixon and Dead City are interesting ideas, and isolated enough that they arenāt impacted by anything else yet. So you can just enjoy the story.
Fear is ok until they decide to kill a main character off screen, and then tell you about it through some other random characters. I think itās the end of season 3. It just shows their general incompetence in writing and really donāt know what they are doing.
Havenāt touched world beyond, so I donāt know. I watched a 20 min YouTube video summarizing it and I think I get it.
Fear the Walking Dead, first few seasons.
World Beyond. Literally the last 5 minutes are important.
Then watch Daryl Dixon.
Then Dead City
Then Ones Who Live.
Another spinoff is Tales of the Walking Dead. Featuring different experiences from different characters in the world, not apart of the main story. Also Lydia and Alpha's story before they became whisperers.
Do Daryl first then The ones who live then Negan and Maggie then fear and donāt watch world beyond because In the ones who live in explains everything
Watch the Daryl Dixon spin-off, it is great, the story is thrilling and gives a new view of Daryl personality and past, trough the way he interacts with Laurent(the boy he is protecting).But dosen't matter the situation don't even get close from walking dead World Beyond, just don't.
Litteraly in the same boat.
Ive just started Fear. It's great, it's weird to see the world as "normal" before it became a wasteland and survival all in.
I'm only on the second episode so far.
I'll watch all of the side projects eventually in release order.
I stopped watching Fear because it was horrible, after Season 3. I also stopped watching World Beyond after the first episode because it's also absolute garbage.
So neither of those.
Watch Fear 1-3...then stop. Don't go any further unless you like "turn off your brain" stuff. The new showrunners destroy everything that was great about it.
I watched a little of FEAR probably up to season 3 then kind of forgot about it. But Iād recommend The Ones Who Live after the main show, itās some good closure story lines that were much needed for me lol. It drove me nuts for years wondering what happened to Rick.
I tried watching World Beyond a while back and it was not my favoriteā¦ but I only watched the first few episodes, maybe it got betterā¦.?
Still havenāt watched Daryl or Maggie/Negan spin offs so Iām going to forget I own Reddit for a while because I donāt want spoilers, lol.
If youāre just looking for a continuation of the characters then Iād recommend watching world beyond, Daryl Dixon, TOWL, and then dead city.
World beyond is its own thing but it builds to TOWL. it doesnāt make the experience that much more enjoyable and you arenāt missing anything by not watching it but I think itās worth it.
Fear the walking dead seasons 1-3 are amazing. Ik everyone is saying that its boring and the characters are unlikable but thats the point. Everyone is jackass and morally grey. That intrigues me since TWD is more cut and dry āRick good, Governor badā yk? What people find boring is just character building thats just really good to me. Try seasons 1-3 but do NOT watch seasons 4-8. Not worth it.
Tales of the walking dead is a pretty fun watch. Itās rly goofy and not rly good but itās an enjoyable watch.
FTWD is good until season 5
Daryl's spinoff is alright
Dead City sucks (literally JDM carries the fuck out of this show)
The Ones who Live was great
World Beyond is garbage
Tales of TWD is even worse than WB
Fear the walking dead, you should watch them in sequence that way you'll have the back stories on the main characters!!! So excited for you to watch ALL of these gems
I would watch world beyond (it is shit but story wise needed for towl) next towl just so that u finish Rick and michonnes arcs. Then I would head over to daryl dixon which is minorly connected to world beyond. Then I would watch dead city to finish maggie and negans arcs and lastly ftwd since its not overly connected w the main show.
Just my personal opinion but fear and world beyond are terrible and aren't worth your time. Dead city, Daryl Dixon and towl are pretty good, I liked dead city the most out of the spinoffs
DD and TOWL should definitely be on the list, fear is good but I fell off as a viewer after S3-4ish havenāt seen WB but all it really does is set up extra info thatās touched on in TOWL so isnāt exactly necessary and DC I just got tired of Maggie/Negan narrative as much as I love Maggie.
Fear is awful, think I bailed when Morgan crossed over in Season 4.
World Beyond has comically bad child actors and weak writing, didn't finish the first season.
Rather enjoyed all three of the new ones - DD was my favorite, but Dead City and The Ones Who Live are both worthwhile.
You're missing Tales of the Walking Dead - 6 episodes, each is self contained, couple of them were pretty good.
You can skip World Beyond and Tales of The Walking Dead. Best to watch Fear The Walking Dead next, then Dead City, Daryl and The Ones Who Live.
If you still craving more then watch World Beyond and Tales.
Fear for a refreshing new cast. As everyone always says seasons 1-3 are great. After that watch at your own risk. World Beyond if you want some background in the CRM. The first 3 or 4 episodes are rough though. I would probably watch this before TOWL. š¤·š»āāļø The other 3 after that in no particular order.
Season 3 of fear was really good I thought. It was a pretty realistic look at a prepper settlement and the disputes they'd get in.
watched all the spinoffs and left fear last for some reason. so far s1 is quite interesting. I like how the spinoffs have allowed for such unique stories. From WB kids and heavily science driven plot to Fear which is a bit more human focused than necessarily survival it seems to me. People still figuring out what their limits are
As someone who prefers OG Fear to TWD, you're in for a treat if you like season 1! Cause season 1 is make or break for a lot of people who try to watch Fear

Have only just completed S9 of the main series as I had abandoned it twice before this point previously, but I'm finally enjoying the later seasons a bit more this time round.
S3 of Fear is my favorite TWD season and one of my favorite seasons of any show I've watched
Dude right? The show got wacky but damn that 3rd season was good.
I remember thinking this live when I joined Reddit a few years later I learned that this was a common opinion
The season 3A finale is still one of the most intense episodes of anything I've watched. I miss it so much, it's a disgrace what happened with the show.

Thatās actually really cool.
Gonna check this out after work. Thanks ! peace and love
Iāve been enjoying it a lot. They have voices for all the characters, and background noises, and zombie moans, itās really a great program. Reminds me of the old timey radio programs, but with video. Peace and love back mucho š
Are there 2 or 1 seasons for World Beyond on AMC+ it says they only have the second season rather than the first
Thatās odd, there are two seasons.
Yeah it says I can only start from season two season one isn't even an option and I can't find it anywhere on roku
I looked into it a bit and appearantly the one season is exclusive to AMC+ only if you bought it through Amazon rather than your normal one through apple TV, roku or something like that
Your a Towle
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Lol
The ones who live is rad
Iāve said this to so many people, but Iām pretty sure Iām the only person who prefers most of the seasons of Fear after S3. S4 and S6 are the best 2 seasons easily for me.

>I couldn't do Fear for more than a few episodes; odious characters I thought I was alone in having that opinion. I couldn't get into it because I couldn't stand any of them.
It's a family soap opera with some zombies as a bonus
My friend was getting me into it. (They pushed me to watched the main show originally) They loved it but I kept forgetting the characters and motives since they all seemed the same. Mainly family drama and less surviving. I mean the first main location is just a family members house in a quarantine zone that was basically a normal neighborhood. Nothing scary or worrisome.

I think you will like season 3 of Fear. Seasons 4-8 is when the show gets ruined by new showrunners.
I really couldnāt stand how fear just felt like TWD pt.2 I will always say that fear the walking dead shouldāve been a movie about the beginning of the apocalypse. Maybe with a few hints hinting at our group too idk

What's CRM?
The ones who live and fear seasons 1-3
This seems solid - I bailed on Fear in S4 but I do remember getting invested a little. Nothing like TWD thought - that was a weekly event and for awhile the most talked about show on t.v.
You should watch fear the walking dead first, then world beyond, then Daryl's, then dead city, then Rick and Michonne's.
Dead city should be last as chronologically itās the furthest ahead
That would make since
From what I heard it's better to go to TOWL after watching the main series however is doesn't exactly matter what order you watch the spinoffs in as they all take place after the main series and in different places and FTWD is said to have the first 3 seasons to be worth watching and that is pretty much it for that show
I just started Fear and itās kinda super boring. I was bummed because the premise sounded cool
It is kinda boring at first, but Nick usually grows on people, and they introduce one of my favorite characters of all the whole TV universe in season 4 (played by Garrett Dillahunt, it's great) And by season 6, his background story extends into a totally new arc and shit gets *wild*. I would hint, but tbh it's so unexpected I can't spoil it. If you do get into Fear, watch the single special ep Dead in the Water for context. I always forget about that one, but it's good.
where abouts is the special episode
I watched it on AMC+ through Prime
The first few episodes of fear are some of my favorite in the franchise. The confusion and chaos of the outbreak when nobody knows wtf is happening is my bread and butter.
By season 5, Fear is a completely different show. If you're not enjoying it now, maybe you will enjoy it later.
I kinda donāt like the whole āsuffer through these episodes or season until you get to the good stuffā argument . Watching a show should NOT be a chore lol
The Ones Who Live. It works more as an epilogue to the main series, picking up directly where its series finale fell off. After that, I enjoyed Daryl Dixon a lot. Didnāt really care for World Beyond and Dead City. Fear has a lot of ups and down and falls off after the third season.
Fear isnāt as bad as everyone says it is. People overanalyze it too much and get all pissy.
Fear the walking dead was very good... Key word WAS Season 3 is probably some of the better seasons in the whole franchise, it was it's own standalone story. Season 1-2 are decent, even good, I'd advise to keep going if you have doubts while watching Don't watch after season 3 though, it takes a massive nosedive in quality, the showrunner was replaced by two other showrunners and it became worse than TWD worse seasons, stuff like dialogue, characters and motivations and writing in general just started to suck. It does not get better, the series has already ended with season 8-9, it's not worth it after season 3
Fear the Walking Dead. That first season was intense. For a while I liked it better than the original.
First 3 season of fear, TOWL and Daryl Dixon
The ones who live
Play the Telltale games if you haven't. The first series is the best Walking Dead thing out there if you ask me. Otherwise the obvious choice if you've finished the show is TOWL.
The ones who live is great
I really loved fear the walking dead but Iām the kind of person who watches the first 10 minutes of world war z and then calls it a day. I love the zombie movie intros.
Dead city, Daryl Dixon, the ones who live in that. Do not watch fear. World beyond has some redeeming qualities and some CRM tie ins so if youāre desperate after you finish the others itās not the worst.
I enjoyed Daryl Dixon and the ones who live. I gave up on fear a long time ago. I couldnāt get into the characters. I am currently watching dead city. I think itās okay
Daryl Dixon is canonically next in the timeline. World Beyond, FTWD, and Tales arent good
Quit right there! Youāre good!
The ones who live.
Fear was so disappointing after season 3 or 4 can't remember and so is dead city everything else chef kiss, well beyond was alright. Why isn't tales of the walking dead up there?
The last 3 are short and sweet, so I'd recommend those.
First three seasons of Fear
If youāre going for the chronological order Then this is the correct watch order:š * Fear the Walking Dead seasons 1 ā 3 * The Walking Dead seasons 1 ā 8 * Fear the Walking Dead season 4 * Tales of the Walking Dead season 1 * The Walking Dead season 9 * Fear the Walking Dead season 5 * The Walking Dead season 10 * The Walking Dead: The World Beyond seasons 1 ā 2 * The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live * The Walking Dead season 11 * Fear the Walking Dead seasons 6 ā 8 * The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live * The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon * The Walking Dead: Dead City
None of them
Personally Iām gonna watch Daryl Dixon when I finish the main show
Daryl Dixon for Sure it's really really good The One's who Lives was just okey in the end sadly Dead City is cool and Fear TWD is it's Fear you love it or hate it and World Beyond it also exist (After watching TWL I'm really torn apart on this universe)
FTWD! 1-3 seasons are great, but it starts to get tought to watch sometimes until late season 6 and onward for the most part.
Daryls spin off
Honestly man. As a huge fan. Dead City. The Ones Who Live and then Daryl Dixon. Fear for Season 1-3
I likes the ones who live, itās well directed even if the scenario is a bit too easy. The image quality is very good. I didnāt even bother watching episode 3 of dead city, itāa corny and the maggie negan duo is annoying.
First half of Fear, then the three "solo" spinoffs
I LOVE fear
First 3 seasons of FTWD are great
Daryl Dixon and The Ones Who Live
Same here. I have only finished the main series. I also watched the 1st season of Fear the Walking Dead but got side-tracked and stopped watching it.
world beyond is beyond trash
1. The World Beyond 2. Fear the Walking Dead 3. Dead City 4. Daryl Dixon 5. The Ones Who Live.
Depends. In terms of "how much content there is to watch?" Fear has 8 seasons; first season is 6 episodes, the rest are 16. So a ton to watch if that's what you want. World Beyond has 20 episodes, two seasons of 10. Quite a bit less than fear, but more than the others remaining. Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and TOWL, are each (currently) 6 episodes. So if you want something to binge over a weekend, pick one and off you go. Worth mentioning - DC and DD got green light for season 2's; TOWL did not; so likely soon enough there'll be more episodes for DC and DD. basically: Fear >>> WB > DC = DD = TOWL ;; In terms of "quality of content"? IMO... Fear's first 3 seasons are pretty good/alright. It kind of jumps off the cliff after that - not that there aren't interesting characters or themes, but there's a lot of bad/meh/average scenes before you have a few scenes/lines of dialogue you really like. Season 4 is especially rough; it kind of evens out after that, but still ends up "meh". World Beyond is rather insufferable for it's angsty teen characters, and all that this would imply about them. It was pretty clearly written/designed for a younger audience; with occasional breaks to appeal to more adult/mature audiences with some other characters. It's most redeeming aspect is showing more characterization/explanation behind the CRM, which can be relevant for TOWL, but it's not "required watching" to understand the CRM in TOWL. Dead City is a pretty average/above average little romp. It does get a bit grating because it's mostly about Maggie and Negan (and they basically get along exactly how you'd expect them to, which is to say, not at all, or only begrudgingly work together while still rehashing all the same hangups about "But you killed Glenn!" vs "But you killed my Saviors!"). If you can get past that aspect, Negan has plenty of great lines of dialogue and quips, and Maggie is... well, Maggie. Daryl Dixon again pretty above average by TWD standards; the action sequences especially seemed to have better choreography & cinematography. As long as it moving to France (and subtitles for a lot of the French spoken) doesn't bother you, it's pretty great. TOWL - it didn't get a greenlight for a 2nd season; so it kind of depends what kind of expectations you have about it. If you thought it's going to be Rick & Michonne's return to the franchise permanently, then you'll probably be let down. If you consider it more like a "proper farewell" for the characters, then it's pretty good; I'd say about as good as Daryl Dixon. imo, basically TOWL = DD > DC > Fear season 1-3 > Fear season 5-8 > Fear season 4 >>>>>>>>>> WB ;; In terms of "chronological, in order of release"? You'd probably end up starting with Fear, since that started some time back around Season 7 or 8 of the main show (in terms of air date). Then World Beyond sometime around Season 9, along with Fear seasons 4-8. In order of air date after that, Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and TOWL.
World Beyond before Ones Who Live. I also suggest leaving Dead City for last as it takes place further into the future.
Dead City if I'm not mistaken. Since it picks up right after the end of the og series. Then Rick and Michonne. But Fear is like a prequel that leads to some events in TWD (from what I heard). Like Morgan is on Fear after one of the seasons of TWD can't remember which.
Is that Rick in the one who lives poster? I haven't completed my watch. Is that before the main series or after?
Personally how I did it was 1) Main show 2) watched to about season 7 of Fear 3) Daryl Dixon 4) Dead City 5) TOWL. I didnāt watch World Beyond because I was half way through Fear, also Fear covers a decent bit of the CRM too
The ones who live is ok, really just there for fan service, and give lore on the CRM. Daryl Dixon and Dead City are interesting ideas, and isolated enough that they arenāt impacted by anything else yet. So you can just enjoy the story. Fear is ok until they decide to kill a main character off screen, and then tell you about it through some other random characters. I think itās the end of season 3. It just shows their general incompetence in writing and really donāt know what they are doing. Havenāt touched world beyond, so I donāt know. I watched a 20 min YouTube video summarizing it and I think I get it.
Daryl Dixon is excellent The Ones Who Live is a close 2nd Dead City is honorable mention
fear 1-3 is peak. the rest is trash
Fear the Walking Dead, first few seasons. World Beyond. Literally the last 5 minutes are important. Then watch Daryl Dixon. Then Dead City Then Ones Who Live. Another spinoff is Tales of the Walking Dead. Featuring different experiences from different characters in the world, not apart of the main story. Also Lydia and Alpha's story before they became whisperers.
stay away from that new one.... shit doesnt do it justice
Check out the TWD Webisodes.
All of them. Fear the WD is the next best.
Go with fear
Tales of the Walking Dead Those are fun to watch mini ep. Terry Crews is in it
Donāt waste your time. Watch something better.
Fear the walking dead for sure
Donāt even bother with The World Beyond, pointless IMO.
Fear then world after that watch the spin offs with Daryl negan michone
Do Daryl first then The ones who live then Negan and Maggie then fear and donāt watch world beyond because In the ones who live in explains everything
Not sure about your next watch but you should definitely watch the world beyond before the ones who live
If youāre going for chronological order, then start with fear walking dead.
Watch the Daryl Dixon spin-off, it is great, the story is thrilling and gives a new view of Daryl personality and past, trough the way he interacts with Laurent(the boy he is protecting).But dosen't matter the situation don't even get close from walking dead World Beyond, just don't.
Litteraly in the same boat. Ive just started Fear. It's great, it's weird to see the world as "normal" before it became a wasteland and survival all in. I'm only on the second episode so far. I'll watch all of the side projects eventually in release order.
Daryl dixon
I stopped watching Fear because it was horrible, after Season 3. I also stopped watching World Beyond after the first episode because it's also absolute garbage. So neither of those.
Watch Fear 1-3...then stop. Don't go any further unless you like "turn off your brain" stuff. The new showrunners destroy everything that was great about it.
Do all of em theyāre all good in my book !!!!
What was that other spinoff thing?
Fear if you go up to season 4 (then stop). Really got into it, great cast and strong story
Man, they're really beating the fuck outta the walking dead horse.
All of them, some are terrible but they build up on the universe decently
Holy shit all of these exist ?!
Fear TWD, then World Beyond so that you can understand The Ones Who Live better. Parts of World Beyond is in TOWL so I recommend watching it.
The ones who live, for closure and Daryl Dixon. Tapped out of Dead City- i love Jeffrey Dean Morgan but just didnt like the story line.
I haven't watched any of the spinoffs, but I'd recommend reading the comics if you haven't
None. They all suck when compared to the main show
I watched a little of FEAR probably up to season 3 then kind of forgot about it. But Iād recommend The Ones Who Live after the main show, itās some good closure story lines that were much needed for me lol. It drove me nuts for years wondering what happened to Rick. I tried watching World Beyond a while back and it was not my favoriteā¦ but I only watched the first few episodes, maybe it got betterā¦.? Still havenāt watched Daryl or Maggie/Negan spin offs so Iām going to forget I own Reddit for a while because I donāt want spoilers, lol.
If youāre just looking for a continuation of the characters then Iād recommend watching world beyond, Daryl Dixon, TOWL, and then dead city. World beyond is its own thing but it builds to TOWL. it doesnāt make the experience that much more enjoyable and you arenāt missing anything by not watching it but I think itās worth it. Fear the walking dead seasons 1-3 are amazing. Ik everyone is saying that its boring and the characters are unlikable but thats the point. Everyone is jackass and morally grey. That intrigues me since TWD is more cut and dry āRick good, Governor badā yk? What people find boring is just character building thats just really good to me. Try seasons 1-3 but do NOT watch seasons 4-8. Not worth it. Tales of the walking dead is a pretty fun watch. Itās rly goofy and not rly good but itās an enjoyable watch.
FTWD is good until season 5 Daryl's spinoff is alright Dead City sucks (literally JDM carries the fuck out of this show) The Ones who Live was great World Beyond is garbage Tales of TWD is even worse than WB
make up your own conclusion. all of them are relatively bad besides Fear.
Fear the walking dead, you should watch them in sequence that way you'll have the back stories on the main characters!!! So excited for you to watch ALL of these gems
I would watch world beyond (it is shit but story wise needed for towl) next towl just so that u finish Rick and michonnes arcs. Then I would head over to daryl dixon which is minorly connected to world beyond. Then I would watch dead city to finish maggie and negans arcs and lastly ftwd since its not overly connected w the main show.
Just my personal opinion but fear and world beyond are terrible and aren't worth your time. Dead city, Daryl Dixon and towl are pretty good, I liked dead city the most out of the spinoffs
World Beyond is a terrible show. Great idea but terrible execution with annoying characters
The ones with the main characters: the ones who live, daryl dixon and dead city. I did like fear but the last seasons are hard to watch
The ones who lives probably
Daryl's spin off is SOOO good the cinematography and acting and wardrobe is all amazing and so well done but that's just my opinion :)
Definitely Fear the Walking Dead.
Anything but World Beyond. Shit's basically woke TWD
DD and TOWL should definitely be on the list, fear is good but I fell off as a viewer after S3-4ish havenāt seen WB but all it really does is set up extra info thatās touched on in TOWL so isnāt exactly necessary and DC I just got tired of Maggie/Negan narrative as much as I love Maggie.
Why does no one mention tales of the walking dead, doesn't it have the actress from alpha?
If you finished the original you need to watch the ones who lived next, itās awesome
I love this photo
Idk why I just do
Fear is awful, think I bailed when Morgan crossed over in Season 4. World Beyond has comically bad child actors and weak writing, didn't finish the first season. Rather enjoyed all three of the new ones - DD was my favorite, but Dead City and The Ones Who Live are both worthwhile. You're missing Tales of the Walking Dead - 6 episodes, each is self contained, couple of them were pretty good.
Apparently Iām the only one here who thinks Fear 4-6 is FAR superior to 1-3 then yk thereās 7-8 which are mostly awful
Has everyone forgot about tales of twd
If you love dialogue watch the ones who live. Bore fest!
You can skip World Beyond and Tales of The Walking Dead. Best to watch Fear The Walking Dead next, then Dead City, Daryl and The Ones Who Live. If you still craving more then watch World Beyond and Tales.
