Once the teens arrived, they figured out that the Civil Republic is evil, and - with the help of a double agent inside - vowed to destroy the Civil Republic. The teenagers spent the entire first season trekking from Nebraska to the headquarters of the Civil Republic’s research facility in Ithaca, NY, where the Civil Republic experimented on live people in their unsuccessful effort to find a cure for the zombie virus. Soon after the teenagers left their campus community, the Civil Republic gassed it, as well the Omaha community of 100,000, committing genocide on its own people. A group of teenagers left their community - a bubble secluded away from the zombie apocalypse - in search of the father of two of those teenagers, a scientist recruited by the Civil Republic to find a cure for the zombie virus (the Civil Republic Military, or CRM, is the outfit that absconded in a helicopter with Rick Grimes in season 9 of The Walking Dead when Andrew Lincoln left the series). It’s a collection of barely competent teenage actors, a complete waste of Julia Ormond, and the assassination of the one character that came over from The Walking Dead, Pollyanna McIntosh’s Jadis.Īllow me to briefly recap what we’ve learned in 19 episodes of the series, and again, I won’t bother detailing the specifics of the characters because not only do they not matter but hopefully, we will never see any of them again after next week’s finale. The World Beyond is insipid, pointless, and worst of all: It’s boring. This show is dreadful, maybe the worst scripted series I’ve watched in years, and that includes Manifest, which at least dared to be different. In fact, that may be to the benefit of the broader TWD universe because the more it can distance itself from The World Beyond, the better. It was evident early on that the series was bad - bad writing, bad acting, terrible storylines - but the hardcore The Walking Dead fans among us continued to watch in the hopes that the series would shed some light on the fate of Rick Grimes ahead of AMC’s planned Rick Grimes movie(s), or at least broaden the mythology of The Walking Dead universe. There is one episode remaining of the planned two-season run of The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and I think I can safely say ahead of its finale that the series has been a complete waste of time.
