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!”

The actor who plays Eichorst is really German! I agree, he’s perfect for the role.
Oooh, I never thought about Fet having to take over if something happened to Setrakian, but you’re right. Eph wouldn’t be the one to do it, being the science end of the whole deal.
I can totally see Setrakian playing a grouchy old wizard with an actual heart of gold, lol. He seems so lovable to me, and the sandpaper voice and the impatient manner tickle me.
