Sorta? But not quite... it shows the outbreak earlier in its history. When we met Rick and the rest of the Scooby Gang from Walking Dead, Atlanta has already fallen.
Fear the Walking Dead is more immediately after the outbreak starts. News reports are talking about a "mysterious flu" that's going on in 5 states. This series follows folks in the LA area as they deal with realizing... that's no flu, and that dead guy that we just ran over with our car is now alive again and trying to eat us. [Though, we still don't know yet how it actually all started. Patient Zero is not described]
Overall, it's a C for me. The second episode was way better than the first. I was also surprised when they didn't come out of the school with all the food (and I was wondering if somehow magically that's where Carl gets that big tub of pudding!), but was not surprised about the principal.
I'll give it a few more episodes. The initial run is only 6, and it's a good way to tide me over until October when Rick and the Gang come back.
