Fear the Breaking Bad

I've seen a few episodes of Fear the Walking Dead.

Now, my understanding was that Fear the Walking Dead was supposed to be about the outbreak. The first season was but now, here we are again, Armageddon has come and we're following survivors in the aftermath.

It reminds me of when NBC started Law & Order: Vincent D'nofrio, with the promise that this would be Law & Order from the suspects POV. Half a dozen episodes we were in the same old police procedural slog.

Why, I ask, why?

Someone at AMC, I think thought: I know, we'll redo Breaking Bad but with Zombies!

That is, they've taken the Southwestern look and feel of Breaking Bad.

How much you wanna bet one of those celebrity zombies is Brian Cranston?
