The change in scenery to France is rather amusing but enjoyable. There are a lot of improbable happenings; nuns fighting off armed men, a weird kid born of a zombified mother, a group of kids living on their own who watch Mork & Mindy, etc. Still, it's a good change and features some nice scenery. Better than the dreary goings on in Fear the Walking Dead.
The writers can't help themselves, though, as they drift into gender and race issues. A white, stereotypical hick from Texas is introduced who is hoarding all the supplies in a castle from the diverse, female-led kids school. A guy from Texas in post-apocalyptic France? The standard "bad guy" for today's show writers must travel to distant lands. As another reviewer points out, the kids don't even move into the superior supplied and defensible castle but stay at their holistic school. Then there's the jerk boyfriend, or whoever he is, that wants to dump the pregnant sister. Sigh...
Despite the goofy stuff, though, I'm actually enjoying this season. The flintlock rifles are a nice touch, too. Lol.
