Not getting any better
19 October 2020
First and second episodes were complete trash. But we know that sometimes tv shows start slow, progressively introduce their characters and after the first few spins, things start to get interesting. However, this third episode brings once again nothing truly appealing. The writers created a second hand world with cliche characters and problems/dilemmas very similar to the ones we've already seen in TWD and FTWD. This spin off is bringing absolutely nothing new to the table, besides recycling everything done before. It gets tiring really fast, even more when the writers/producers seem blind and deaf to the criticism surrounding TWD and FTWD of being severely dependent on long exposition dialogues that slow horrendously the pace of action. In World Beyond, there's even a slow motion sequence when someone's life is at stake, which tries the emphasize the moment, but instead makes it even more ridicule. Not to mention the cheesy narrated monologues during tense action scenes. It would help them a lot having a look at the comments here. They could have an idea of what's wrong and what people truly expect from a tv series like this. Instead, these people seem to live in a bubble, impervious to critique. This is still not enough. By a long shot. You have the chance of making this a very interesting series, all you have to do is listen to your audience and look for good sources of inspiration. And oh that British flag and semi-dictator with british accent were are huge unintended comedic relief...
