The episode entitled: "Evie / Joe" pleased me a lot at first for introducing new characters with characteristics, perspectives different from what we had seen before... The reasons that lead each one to maintain sanity and survival, is something spectacular. This episode managed to move me in the first 5 minutes and you will soon know why... Terry Crews and Olivia Munn give a show of acting without humorous or dramatic exaggerations, but everything is in a perfect balance with incredible scenes of action, fight , suspense and a vision that contrasts between the old and the new world, where the Universe continues to contemplate the characters with hope. Kersti Bryan was phenomenal in her acting. The Episode makes references to a moment of the main series and for those who are Brazilian like me will be happy to another reference that the character Evie will make. Perfect script and direction within the balance it should be. Incredible photography. Brilliant performances that won't let fans down.

At this point it's questionable whether we need more TWD. Like...what's different about this one, what will differentiate it from the half dozen other TWD installments? After watching episode 1 it would seem to be that answer is the actors, Terry Crews and Olivia Munn are both great, they share an adorable chemistry. Crews is goofy and fun as Joe and Munn is endearingly dorky as Evie. It all feels a bit quirky, very campy and over the top. The episode was fun, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. The only big issues I saw were some poor special effects, other than that the production was fine. If you're a fan of TWD, or campy horror, this right up your alley.

Didn't expect much from this episode, but after watching it i am pretty pleased. Although some parts did feel a little rushed, which i kind of understand. However i thought that Olivia Munn and Terry Crews had a stellar chemistry and it fit really well with the characters' journey. There were some cheesy lines of dialogue, but honestly i feel like it kind of matched the personalities of these two characters. Overall, the episode was quite well paced and had me enticed from the start.

7.8/10.

This episode is good. A great start off to this anthology series. Terry Crews and Olivia Munn slay, I gotta give them that. And in spite of the cheesy and corny stuff, I still love it because it's really heartwarming and it gave a fresh impression to the twd universe.

Episode one of Tales of The Walking Dead was a fantastic road trip story about finding belonging in a world occupied by the undead. It had 2 great lead characters with interesting backstories. A shocking twist that I personally did not see coming. And even some surprisingly emotional moments. This was a great start to the 4th series in The Walking Dead Franchise.

An interesting narrative and approach to the apocalypse.

The episode has a good script and it identity. But it would be a lot better if shot on film. Still can't get used to the zombie genre with this clean look.

This is not a bad episode . I really enjoyed it . It has a decent plot , good characters . Just sit back and enjoy this . And have a great time . At least now you get to see more of twd universe weekly while waiting for 11c .

So, we meet 'Joe', who has quite an underground shelter (which still has me wondering about the logistics that went into building it, if it had been real) in which he dwells now that the world has turned upside down. His one companion is his dog, Gilligan. Joe is living alone, with his pup, but traveling above ground for Gilligan to relieve himself, which leads to the inevitable situation which drives Joe to seek out another prepper he's had contact with, a woman on her own. A several hundred mile trip to an unknown location, giving up everything he's work on to survive? Hmm. So, off he goes, only to stumble across 'Evie', a neo-hippie survivor, who happens to be 'going his way' (how convenient). Off they go, bonding along the way. The story gets spoiled when Joe gets to his destination and we go through the usual trope of the mentally unstable survivor. It went south for me after that.

I only watched the first episode yet. I enjoyed the actors and their characters. The story was acceptable and the ending felt wholesome.

A good start to a new series in TWD Universe.

The cast is decent, the premise is strong, and the final act becomes so odd and silly that it's quite funny (perhaps unintentionally so?). However, the episode tries to cram in almost every single cliche and emotional beat of a buddy-road-trip film that the story never has a chance to breathe. The pacing is abrupt and rushed, and lazy bouts of expository dialogue is used to compensate for the lack of time the characters actually have to naturally develop. This leaves the characters feeling more like caricatures than actual people, and the story more like a dot-point synopsis of what it really wants to be. Overall, it's a disappointingly lacklustre start to the series.

It was a lazy route one attempt at making a standalone episode from the ground up. The characters were stock caricatures and was very predictable. I was very disappointed with the end result because I hoped.this would feel fresh and new.

The first episode of Tales was extremely average. I loved the acting from Olivia and Terry, I also really enjoyed their chemistry. However the fighting scenes were a bit corny and finished before it even started. I wasn't a fan of the craziness of Sandra in this episode, altogether they were going for a more comedic approach, I wouldn't of minded if it was a little darker and gruesome.

My one gripe so far with both episodes is that the pacing and story telling aren't the greatest (Especially episode 2). To fix this issue for Season 2, instead of hiring directors from previous episodes of TWD and Fear I would hire smaller directors who have experience with short films, or even directors from short film competitions. I hate how they are trying to tell such a large story in one episode. Stick to something small and simple, or increase the episode length to one hour.

Either way average episode, hope they treat them more as short films rather then an episode in a series.

The first episode of The Walking Dead is a terribly painful average episode that is only saved by the chemistry between Terry Crews and Olivia Munn.

As the first episode that is meant to experiment or tell stories about this universe in an interesting and unique way, this was a tale that didn't need to be told.

That said I would like to see Joe and Evie again. They were fun characters.

Well, I'm not going to say it was perfect, because indeed it wasn't but it was very entertaining and i really like it, so i recommend to everyone that is a fan of the TWD universe to give it a try!

I didn't expect much going into this, however, the big stars this episode has, Terry Crews and Olivia Munn, made me kinda excited.

Of course, Terry works best in a comedic setting, so I knew this would have a lighter comedic tone. That's something I normally don't want to see from TWDU, but for an experimental one-off episode, I didn't mind it.

Overall though, I wasn't too thrilled about this. The actors are enjoyable to watch as expected, but there was an excessive amount of cheesiness to it that just comes with how the episode was written.

Oddly, some of the acting came off as cringy, and I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's a mix of the episode's weird direction and the actors struggling to make it work in the setting? Still, it was more so just certain lines and moments that felt off. All in all, these characters are well done and feel real.

The way both characters behave is intentionally cheesy, but there are parts like the dog's death that seem unintentionally so.

In some ways this reminded me of the dumb one-offs Fear does nowadays, but actually intentional in its silliness. There were times I genuinely laughed here.

Overall there is definitely stuff I enjoyed, such as seeing Joe's mental state deteriorate the longer he lived alone. Joe is a very likable character. Evie annoyed me at first, but I liked her by the end and loved her fighting style. The two undoubtedly have great chemistry. I wouldn't mind seeing them again.

One of the most notable problems for me was the episode's cheapness. They very obviously use the Terminus set, but it isn't actually Terminus. It comes off as lazy, but at least Sandra's bunker looked cool.

Speaking of Sandra, the crazy climax with her saved the episode for me. I didn't expect the twist at all and the drug scene was really fun.

This wasn't perfect by any means, and I think they could've picked a better pilot, but I appreciate the uniqueness. I'm lukewarm on this episode, but some people will definitely love this.

Gotta say this was fabulous. The I love all that is the walking dead and was so excited for this. And with us definitely is worth the wait. Bring on episode 2.

Essentially this is what happens when you launch an exciting new horror anthology but give wrong jobs to people whose previous credentials are Lipstick Jungle, Pretty Little Liars, How To Get Away With Murder and the other Walking Dead series that I forget the name of but is really crap.

It's clearly low budget which is totally fine for me and it looks ok, but 2 good actors can't carry this mediocre script. I watched this over 2 sittings because I fell asleep halfway through.

Not a good start.

The only thing good about this episode is Terry Crews's and Olivia Munn's chemistry. Other than that, I feel Tales of the Walking Dead, based on this first episode, is pointless and forgettable. Anything to keep the rabid fanbase satiated, I suppose.

It's better than i expected i tought it will be bad like world beyond but it isn't i hope the next episodes being good or better than this one i'm waiting for the alpha one or the boy who wake up and see life like that just like rick grims.

Much better than I expected, and I actually loved the concept. Quick one-shots of the world in the aftermath of the dead coming back to life.

Terry Crewes is one of my go-to guys, and he does NOT disappoint.

Oh no let's saying first the cake scene really got me ,I was in shock , but really actress she did a fantastic acting to trust her immediately, because she was so sweet ,funny same as Joe, anyways this is really good episode I love Terry crews just seeing him killing zombies this is the best lol and also singing, lol , Olivia Munn she's a warrior we need her a full story or anything, can't wait to see next episode, anything related to my love TWD I'm ready for it because I feel really sad that TWD is last coming soon and I'm not ready 5o lose my characters. After 12 years .
