Aaargh. "Fear the Walking Dead" is a good series overall, eight episodes in, but it's frustrating how often the writers give someone the Idiot Ball as a way to create tension.

For eleven seasons, "The Walking Dead" managed to stay interesting and challenging, and I can't remember them ever resorting to this. People are human and make mistakes, yes, but it's consistent with their character and their motivations.

In FtWD, I think every episode so far had some moment where an otherwise clued-in person suddenly did something to put people in danger. Did the writers think they screwed up by making everyone too genre-savvy and too quick to pick up on the new rules of the world?

Still, good enough to keep watching and just shout a bit at the screen whenever someone takes off their thinking cap. 🤣
