Fear the Walking Dead - Season 5 Episode 15: Channel 5
Season 5 begins with a new series of drama and action, where the group begins new and unexpected risks in search of survivors. In order to find new survivor; the group will land in an unknown area, where Morgan and Alicia meet a survivor. Meanwhile, the group is struggling to carry out new tasks and lofty goals.
So even with the problems, "Channel 5" was enjoyable and set up a compelling finale. Their strong character work is still outweighing some of the weirder plot choices.
"Channel 5" doesn't have a lot of meat on its bones. Maybe it's because this hour borrows too heavily from "Channel 4," lending the episode an unintentional air of "been there, done that."
Personally, I don't really care if Althea dies or not. All I care about is that her video cameras are finally destroyed so that Fear the Walking Dead can finally put this running storyline to bed permanently.
Another docu-style "found footage" episode. This one was not as skillfully done. By the last act of the episode, it felt like it had gone back to professionally shot, but then it goes back to being docu-style.
I will follow it into a world where the dead walk the Earth, where regular people can pull off superhuman feats in the name of survival. But anyone voluntarily watching an hour long documentary? That, my friends, is a step too far.
"Channel 5" felt like a filler episode, which is crazy for the penultimate installment of the season. It's not like anything that happened was going to save this season, which has been one character debacle after another.
Fear the Walking Dead somehow managed to turn its villains, the Pioneers, into the good guys in its latest episode, thereby proving that season 5 hasn't actually had any villains at all.
A team of writers and producers sat around a table and decided that this was the story they wanted to tell. It's unfathomable. It's absurd. But somehow it all made it to production and here we are.
If the hour was supposed to raise the stakes, it didn't. It was a frustrating watch that felt like a terrible remake of the original Cloverfield movie.
