Review of North

Fear the Walking Dead: North (2016)
Season 2, Episode 15
10/10
Finally the episode that fully meets or exceeds high expectations
3 October 2016
I have almost felt sorry for this show since the beginning. Even if it was a very good show, it would be virtually impossible to match the characters and story line of the incredible "The Walking Dead" show. There is no way that right off the bat you can care about a character or understand their motivations, so I knew going in this show would have a tough time getting traction.

Well, after a first couple of seasons where the shows ranged from "pretty good" to "meh", the finale delivered a home run that puts it squarely in the territory among the best episodes of "The Walking Dead." Action, complex characters, and just the ability to pull in the viewer to where you are REALLY 100% engaged is what this episode provided for me. I cared about what was happening on the screen. I emotionally felt for the characters. I enjoyed the "gags" of new ways of killing the dead and clever ways of staying alive.

This episode for me was really to first that moved me, and at the end of the day proved to be an incredibly enjoyable two hour ride of television. And thanks to this episode, I am now engaged enough with this show that I can't wait for the next season. For meeting (and in some ways exceeding) my sky-high expectations that were cemented by the original "The Walking Dead", I give this particular episode of "Fear" a 10.
