Yep. I did it.
After a month or so, I got bored and decided to look and see
what “World Beyond” was all about.
It only went 2 seasons at 10 episodes each so how bad could it
be?
The answer? Very bad.
Wow. I mean “wow”. At least Fear the Walking Dead had
interesting characters. This? This I complete garbage.
Sure it had a cute little twist at the end of season 1 I
didn’t see coming but that doesn’t make this show worth watching. In fact, the
only reason I decided to finish it was because it only went 2 short seasons.
But this failed spinoff looks to expand upon a story line
that was lightly mentioned in the main show (once) build upon in Fear the
Walking Dead (by one character) so in this one they wanted to talk more about the
“evil empire” that exist just outside the region where the other 2 shows take
place.
From Omaha to Portland, the territory is owned by the
Central Republic, who are trying to rebuild society underneath them. They have
all the modern day luxuries (to have sets take place in stores/houses/etc) and
are looking for a cure for zombies.
Sounds interesting right? It’s not. Season one is about 4
kids who escape the safety of their city in search on these two girls father,
who they think is in trouble.
Why 4 kids with no experience of the outside world think
they could survive is beyond me, but they’re shortly assisted by 2 military
soldiers intent on bringing them home safe.
But that’s not what they do. Instead, they go along with the
kids and we even find out in the end it was all a ploy to get the girl to live
in the same bunker with her dad helping him look for a cure to the disease.
Why not ask her you say? Because the girl is a “rebel” and
won’t play ball. Though she loves her father and wants to see him….so wouldn’t
that be enough motivation for her agree to join him in his studies?
NO! The Central Republic lets her leave the compound to see
how tough it is on the outside world so she’ll agree to help them,
OR, they could’ve just threatened to kill her father. Total
garbage premise.
What’s season 2 like? Find out tomorrow.
