Fear the Walking Dead is Over! The series has completed! After eight seasons, the last five of which are the worst television ever produced, they have finally put us out of our misery!

The last two episodes aired last night. I watched them this morning while exercising and eating breakfast and good lord they were AWEFUL. I mean… Holy shit, were they terrible! I was literally laughing out loud at the majority of the “dramatic” moments. The writing was so atrocious that it was funny. Not funny in a good way, but funny in an “I can’t believe how pathetic this is, how did this garbage make it to the air” kind of way.

Who cares though, the show is over. It will never come back again. Stick a fork in it, it’s done! I am so happy for the members of the cast who are now free to work on good TV shows and movies and literally anything they want without ever having to work on this shit heap of idiocy ever again. You are free, people! You are finally and mercifully free!

I feel so relieved. I no longer have to question my sanity as I hate watch the worst show on television, purely for the sake of completeness. This once fantastic show turned into a rusting, leaking, septic tank of bad and I no longer feel compelled to watch another second.

We are all free! We are all freed from the tyranny of the terrible TV show! Rejoice! Rejoice!

I am going to talk about how awful last night’s episode of Fear the Walking Dead was… again. I don’t think I am going to spoil anything because nothing happened so there was nothing to spoil, but if you’re watching the show and haven’t seen last night’s episode you should probably stop reading.

I’ll give you a second to decide.

Okay… so… When I was in college I took a creative writing course. I had one phrase drilled into my tiny little brain: Show Don’t Tell. When you’re writing, don’t tell the readers what’s happening, show them. Describe the events as they happen, don’t just have the characters say what’s going on.

The writers of last night’s episode never took that creative writing class. Basically the entire episode is Tell Don’t Show. It’s about 40 minutes of exposition. That is inexcusable in any television situation, but here? There are only two more episodes in the entire series after last night, and they spent 40 minutes on exposition?

They also introduced new characters last night. Really. A whole new group. The story tells us that they met a major character last season… after the actor left the show and was supposed to be dead… What. The. Fuck?

Every week I say that the new episode is as bad as it could possibly get. Every week’s new episode tops the prior week in terribleness. Once again, this is the worst episode imaginable. Unforgivably bad.

I haven’t watched last night’s Fear the Walking Dead episode. Let me rephrase, I haven’t bitterly hate watched last night’s Fear the Walking Dead episode. I have to watch it tonight. Why? Because I need it to go away and I don’t want to wait any longer. Let’s get the garbage overwith.

There’s a Bruins game on tonight though. I’d rather watch that. There’s a World Series game too and I’d rather watch that. Strangely, there is also an Apple event. Rumor has it they are going to announce new MacBook Pros with M3 chips. I would rather watch that too.

Nope. At some point tonight I am going to ignore all of the good things available and watch the new episode of the worst television show I’ve ever subjected myself to. What the hell is wrong with me?

I did it. I watched the first episode of the final half-season of Fear the Walking Dead. It was just as atrocious as I expected it to be.

Spoilers ahead, sort of… but you’re not watching this dumpster fire of a shit show so you don’t have to worry about spoilers, right?

The worst part about the bad guy reveal is that it erases what was probably the most dramatic, intense, shocking moment of season three, which is not only the best season of Fear the Walking Dead, but might actually be the best season of the entire Walking Dead franchise. It was a holy shit moment for the ages and now it’s just a dumb after thought of stupidity. Gee thanks, Fear. Way to diarrhea all over your best moments.

I am about to do something really dumb. Like… I can’t even believe how dumb it is.

I just brought up the AMC app on my AppleTV. I am going to watch last night’s mid-season premier of Fear the Walking Dead.

This once great show has deteriorated into the worst show I’ve ever subjected myself to. It is as awful as awful can get. Unfortunately for me when it comes to television I am kind of a completest. I started watching The Walking Dead ages ago and have since seen every episode of every series. I can’t really stop now just because one spin off has puked all over itself and now sucks more than any television show has ever sucked before.

I started the episode. I am not even through the cold open yet and already I have thrown up in my mouth in disgust at the horrible writing three times.

Why do I keep torturing myself with shitty TV? Why?
