The season was primarily filmed in two distinct locations:
A heroin addict whose constant state of withdrawal ironically prepares him for the apocalypse. Because he already lived on the fringes of society trying to survive, he maneuvers through the chaos with eerie calm.
Nick Clark (Frank Dillane), a drug addict, wakes up in a graffiti-covered, abandoned church. Believing he is experiencing a bad trip, he discovers his girlfriend, Gloria, feasting on a dead body. He runs into traffic, gets hit by a car, and is rushed to a hospital where medical staff are quietly dealing with a strange “infection.” The episode masterfully captures the confusion of the early days—where news reports speak of “riots” and “influenza,” but Nick knows the truth: the dead are walking.
This season is widely considered a powerful start to the series. Unlike the original show, which began with the world already in ruins, Fear the Walking Dead excels at chronicling the slow, terrifying slide from normality into chaos. Critics praised the strong production values and the effective cast, particularly Kim Dickens and Cliff Curtis, while noting the show's slower, more psychological pace compared to its parent series.
