Tales of the Walking Dead (TV Series)

"Most of its tales remain too mired in the same ideas to forge truly new territory. It’s an occasionally diverting genre exercise, but hardly essential viewing in its own right." 

"This newest series still manages to make the most of its narrative potential in a way that is as surprising as it is silly. (...) For all its flaws, Tales of the Walking Dead is the first time the show has been genuinely unexpected and inventive in a long while." 

"Shambles forward with underwhelming pilot episode (...) Despite this episode’s shortcomings, I’m still very eager to check out the rest of the 'Tales of the Walking Dead' lineup (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)" 

"'Tales of the Walking Dead' doesn't do much more than kill time (...) an uninspired addition to a franchise whose progeny -- both too often and somewhat ironically -- have just seemed to mindlessly follow the crowd." 

"An ambitious, mixed-bag 'Twilight Zone' (...) 'Tales of the Walking Dead' takes some big swings within the franchise format, which is commendable" 

"[It] accomplishes something in one episode that has sometimes been failed at across multiple seasons in the series – it introduces and develops characters with actual depth (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"The performances are entertaining enough to make up for some fractured storytelling and weird, overly positive vibe."
