That's a good word u chose. It really seems more vivid in a way. I really loved how fear started compared to twd. Theres some unnecessary "drama" in fear too, but really not as much as in twd. Also my perspective is definitely a bit different since i watched feartwd first but I loved characters in fear more. One can relate much more since more of them are "young" (coming from a mouth of 23yo me).
Tho I really really hate that in both of those series no1 says 'zombie' even once xd
