What do you think? Did you expect AMC to renew the Fear the Walking Dead TV show for season five? How would you feel, had AMC cancelled this TV series, instead?
I agree with others, when they killed off Nick and Madison left, it lost a lot of its shine. I’m still watching it, but if it were canceled, eh, I’ll move on.
