Fear the Walking Dead - S1 • E2 Ratings & Reviews
TV Over Mind
Randy Dankievitch
"So Close, Yet So Far", while being a much stronger, more direct episode than the pilot, still hasn't done a whole lot... to establish itself as something different than the show whose shadow it lives in.
Digital Spy
Alex Mullane
It feels like a statement: these are our characters, this is their situation; let's see how they do. Based on the first two episodes, whatever happens, it'll be an exhilarating experience.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
After last week's outstanding start, the second episode was a bit of a letdown thanks to questionable character logic just to move the story along.
Total Film
Will Salmon
After the slow burn of last week's premiere, we're in a state of full-on streets-on-fire anarchy by the end of "So Close, Yet So Far."
RedEye
Ben Bowman
The episode's strongest moment was executed with a minimum of screen time.
Wall Street Journal
Paul Vigna
The episode is good, and builds on the sense of dread established in the premiere, and dread is the exact right word.
Variety
Matthew Chernov
Sunday's second episode of Fear the Walking Dead turned up the heat considerably. The result was a tension-filled hour of television that improved on last week's debut in every way.
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
The episode has its bigger sequences - especially a protest against police treatment of a homeless man (who was, presumably, a turned zombie) - but it's mostly a very quiet episode about people realizing the world is going to hell all around them.
The Young Folks
Kellie Sheridan
Overall, I enjoyed episode two, probably even more so than the pilot. There has been an interesting mix of zombie attacks and tension so far.
New York Times
Jeremy Egner
Watching people learn to kill zombies feels mostly like a ratings-grab. The good news is that on Sunday, at times, Fear the Walking Dead suggested it can also be something more.
TV Fanatic
Sean McKenna
I didn't have quite the same enthusiasm here as I did watching the pilot, and I felt rather underwhelmed at times.
Observer
Vinnie Mancuso
Now the characters - from Travis to Madison to the Salazars to the protesters in the streets - are learning there is no end in sight. And that, more than anything, is something worth getting scared over.
Paste Magazine
Shane Ryan
More than anything, I'm feeling frustrated. This was pitched as a more artistic Walking Dead, and instead we just saw a bunch of annoying horror tropes.
Rolling Stone
Noel Murray
It seems our heroine has learned something from Tobias...and that the newly undead aren't the only ones who are changing.
TV.com
Cory Barker
Unfortunately, in only the second episode, it's starting to feel like the elements that made the pilot solid are quickly being stripped away for a familiar anarchy-driven story. That's a bit of a bummer.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
Not everything is working on the same level, but the mindset of The Walking Dead universe is definitely clicking and raising some unexpectedly interesting questions in the process.
Guardian
Brian Moylan
The greatest tension in Fear the Walking Dead is between everything viewers who've been watching The Walking Dead for several years know about the walkers, and what the characters know.
Entertainment Weekly
Jonathon Dornbush
Well, that didn't take long. Only a couple of days into the timeline of Fear the Walking Dead and society as we see it, at least in Los Angeles, is quickly falling apart.
AV Club
Josh Modell
Let's just give the pilot a mulligan and move on to episode two, which corrects -- almost over-corrects, even -- last week's molasses-like introduction.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Simon Abrams
The narrative that leads Madison to stopping Alicia from helping a neighbor from being attacked is compelling, albeit rocky.
