"Fear The Walking Dead: the Complete Collection" is an AMC television series about the story of a zombie apocalypse scenario with a dynamic between the survivors who must confront zombie herds to survive. From “The Walking Dead” universe, this series follows an unstable family as they navigate a post-apocalyptic world in a city filled with tension, rivalries, and secrets. The series begins in Los Angeles with Madison Clark and her children, Nick and Alicia, in the early days of a zombie apocalypse. As society collapses, they encounter various threats from walkers and other survivors, and in Season Four, collide with the world of “The Walking Dead” when Morgan Jones joins the story. Over eight seasons, the group –– including characters like Victor Strand and Daniel Salazar –– travels through California, Mexico, and Texas facing enemies far more sinister than the undead, while working to rebuild a sense of hope and community in a devastated world.

Special features include a digital copy.

The 1.78:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photographed digitally and sourced from a 2K Digital Intermediate. For all eight seasons, the picture showcases the series’ gritty, shot-on-16 mm-film look. (Gary Reber)

The Dolby TrueHD 5.1-channel soundtrack boasts some fine subtleties as well as a typhoon of sound when hell breaks loose, which happens with some regularity during the series. (Gary Reber)
