Unfortunately, there are signs that while it may have all the resources rumors claim, it's not exactly working in the best interests of the post-apocalyptic survivors we've come to love. Morgan and some of his companions find their way to Louisiana, where they have the opportunity to go see PADRE for themselves. Eventually, Strand's control over the tower falls apart and the refuge there crumbles. A dangerous group called the Stalkers lurks outside the tower, robbing and killing anyone they encounter.Īs the season progresses, Morgan's efforts to keep his friends alive get him wrapped up in the search for something called PADRE - an organization created pre-Fall that supposedly has all the resources anyone might need to get some form of civilization restarted. Strand has taken control of a massive tower and he uses a horde of walkers as a moat to maintain his control. Season 7 of "Fear the Walking Dead" is largely centered on the remnants of the Texas survivors falling into conflict with each other. Not long after Rick's group arrives, Morgan also finds his way to the community, and they all begin working to guarantee that their new home remains safe. proper, but along the way they're approached by Aaron, a recruiter from Alexandria, and invited into the community.

The writers of "Lost" famously had to fight ABC to get them to end the show after "only" six seasons, but the acclaimed series "Succession" is now happily ending of its own accord in season 4, even though no one would've complained if they'd chosen to keep going.While Season 2 feels like it lasts a decade, it really spans just a few weeks. Whereas sitcoms like "Friends" and "How I Met Your Mother" went on for 9-10 seasons, today's acclaimed sitcoms like "Ted Lasso" and "The Good Place" have been content to end on seasons 3 or 4, with the episode counts of each season being far lower. Director Joel Coen recently complained about the medium of TV, saying, "So much of television has a beginning, a middle, a middle, a middle, a middle, until the whole thing dies of exhaustion," but honestly, the criticism feels about 10 years too late. "The Walking Dead" aired at a time when it was normal for successful shows to go on for as long as the ratings allowed. "The Last of Us" feels like a clear indicator of how much prestige TV (or at least, shows that are aiming for prestige TV status) have changed over the past 15 years.
