Fear The Walking Dead was a huge letdown and my expectations were actually set pretty low to begin with. The show kept building to the climax moment when the central characters finally realize the dead are rising. And when it got to that point it was a weak finish. The characters actually reacted like it was no big deal. Like they had run over a dog or something. The rest of the show was forgettable and uneventful. 15 - 25 minutes of show stretched out over 90 minutes.
Walking Dead and now FTWD like to move along at a snail's pace. That means the viewer gets less bang for their time spent watching it and the creators get to do less and maintain a lower budget.
I'm not going to bother pointing at flaws, as if the pilot could've been better if this or that were different. Instead I'll write it off as a total waste of space. And the most lackluster intro to a zombie apocalypse I've seen in the zombie genre.
I give it 1 star because it failed to achieve any of it's goals.
