Set in LA rather than the Georgia backwoods, the six-episode inaugural season of “FTWD” starts off like a family drama, albeit one with close-ups of bloody, half-eaten faces.
Our heroes are a newly blended family headed by divorced English teacher Travis (Cliff Curtis) and widowed guidance counselor Madison (the perpetually stone-faced Kim Dickens).
Meaning the adults will face not just hordes of flesh-chompers, but hormonal teens. It’s hard to tell which is worse.
More important, the action takes place during the onset of the zombie apocalypse — yep, the one whose aftermath we’ve spent five seasons exploring on the mothership show. At last, we see what happened when the world went topsy-turvy and Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) was in a coma.
Practically speaking, this means that viewers are always a step or 10 ahead of the “FTWD” characters — to the point that the most common thing you’ll yell at the screen is: “Don’t get any closer, you idiot!”

H/t to SMGFan.
Video no run?
Re the quote “Don’t get any closer, you idiot”.
How about, “Don’t watch this prequel, you idiot”. It’s just a ripoff of TWD.
Besides, I don’t really give a damn about what happens in and to LA. The zombies can have it, Oakland, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. And that is just for appetitizers.
Next, on the main course - Alburquerque, Houston, Denver, Madison, Wisc, Chicago, NYC, Philly, Baltimore and parts of DC and Atlanta. All of St. Louis, North, East, etc. and I’ll throw in Ferguson for desert.
Bon Appetite’ mon zombie amis!
Better not be on the same night as Z Nation.

“It’s just a ripoff of TWD.”
Spinoff. It’s by the same people.
Thanks for ping CJ.
Just watched the 3 minute into.
Can’t wait to see if this show is as good as TWD.
Thanks for the heads up.
I like the trailer tag line:
“When civilization ends...it ends quick.”
Can’t wait! Thanks for the ping!
Z Nation premeres Friday Sept 11th, 10 EDT, 9 CDT.
Its a perfect offset for the dark and gloomy Walking dead.
Now you can sing along with Z Nation.

Well the FTWD have the same TWD ping or will they be separate?
It premiers this Sunday. I guess if it’s 6 episodes it’ll end just prior to the next season of TWD.
Somehow I don't think these two characters have the skills to last long after an apocalypse. Hopefully this will be a series about them being quick studies. Or at least throw us a bone at the end and have the annoying ones killed.

I like Z Nation too.
You are right it is not as dark. Has a lot of humor mixed in.
