Disney meets the dead
The key word is BORING. Too many long getting to know you talks without the action and drama of the series it spawned from.
This is the "YA" version of the walking dead. Young Adult, made for high school age level.

Great show, IF ...
This will be a great show if sometime in the next episode all the melodramatic teens get eaten by the zombies.

The Walking Dead was about autonomy
The Walking Dead was about autonomy. This series is about the belief in Government. Without it, wow, the bad guys are going to kill grandma.
As for the zombies, there aren't many. Just melodramatic characters, a sort of The Walking Dead Kids. And not much else, besides lots of crying.

Weak spin off in Walking Dead universe with annoying characters and eh story.
Season 1 (3 out of 5 stars.)
World Beyond first season is decent in the walking dead universe. I was excited to see a new spin off and different perspective of the apocalyptic world. The series does fail to capture interesting characters. The characters are so terrible and annoying. You would be hoping they would kill them off in the show. Iris, Hope, Elton, and Silus are the most annoying dumb characters ever written. The cast that plays them is not any better with dull performances. Huck and Felix are somewhat decent with there characters. Every episode having a flashback background story of these characters which was not impressive. Except for Hucks dark history. The show also focuses on these teens searching for ones father that may or may not need help when he was taken by the civic republic. There motives are mysterious which may or may not be the good guys. The show is not as exciting. It does have some decent zombie thrills. And a twist which somewhat made it better. The script and direction is all over the place and couldn't maintain in making better characters. I am hoping the second season can improve.

Nickelodeon meets TWD
I watch in hopes there is an episode where they tune skip ahead 5-10 years so that the show stops being a poorly scripted and acting version of a kid show with zombies.
It's like this show starts with all the scraps left over from the other two shows. So far, the best episodes are worse than the worst TWD episodes in late seasons
Clearly AMC is trying to grab a new age group. But at a loss if the people who pay the bills like Directv or similar paid networks that air this show.
Show has zero edge that made TWD good to begin with. Scenes that should be powerful and suspenseful are comical.

Winner !!
This show is the winner !!! In the race of the worst shows I have ever seen ! As a walking dead fans we don't deserve to be tortured for 2 seasons of a senseless show instead they should provide us a youtube video about CRM story.

Was this even necessary?
I can't imagine with TWD running out of steam and FTWD never really gaining it, that anyone was waiting for Nickelodeon Does The Zombie Apocalypse. Did Robert Kirkman lose a bet pr something?
The acting's bad, the dialogue is boring, and you wouldn't even know it was set in TWD universe if they didn't occasionally show those weird shots of zombies with cartoony outlines. Even the wigs are terrible.
The fact they call the zombies 'empties' is kind of fitting. It's how I'd describe the show as a whole.
edit: Against better judgement I watched the second episode. It really is an unhinged mess. At least there were more zombies this time.

So many things wrong with this show
I am a huge walking dead fan but this is blah..
I have tried to love this show, I love everything else walking dead but the characters in this are not interesting nor likeable. The storyline doesnt suck you in at all. Its just flat and boring.. it sucks I feel the need to suffer through this so I don't miss anything important in the universe...

Extremely Poor
This was so disappointing for me n I'm onto episode 7 season 1 but I can't see it improving at all.
Bad inconsistent acting amazingly dire characters n awful story.
I was looking forward to finding more on the CRM n how n where Rick Grimes disappeared to but all I got was a bunch of annoying teens trying to find themselves.
Very disappointing but I will continue to watch it for curiosities sake.
Excruciating to watch.

Shallow, vapid, teen-based show apparently aimed at the below 20 crowd
I have a hard time assessing this from the lens of a teen. Being... well... somewhat past my teenage years, I can't presume to speak for the predominant mindset and culture of that demographic. I can only speak for myself... and I will.
To me, this show was seriously lacking in depth, complexity, intelligence, sensibility --- even redeemable action or superficial excitement (or fun). Not only is the plot centered around a bunch of teens, but they seem to think like teens, and make stupid typical teen mistakes. The problem is, in TWD universe -- they'd be DEAD. There was nothing uncanny about them, their skills, or their situation which made it seem plausible.
Now, I've seen show aimed at teens or kids, which I truly enjoyed. Either they were more deeply layered, or had fun/excitement/action, or were just plain funny enough, to be enjoyable. I don't see those redeeming complexities, here.
I actually wanted to enjoy this. I gave it a shot -- but I just can't. Some shows, I might say "it's not for me, but give it a shot, maybe it's more your cup of tea." But not this one. UNLESS, of course, you are in that youthful demographic. Maybe the perception of the modern young person is different enough to like this. After all, someone makes Kardashians and other reality shows popular. But if you're at all like me -- you'll wish you'd just passed it by.

Was this written and acted by people stupider than zombies?
You know when (at the time of review) there are 18 10 stars and 334 1 star that something went terribly amiss. What is sad is that the writers just don't respond and keep dribbling out the same crap - melodramatic teens that, if they are the first generation after the zombie apocalypse, then the human species is bound for extinction. This is followed by bad acting, except for the occasional zombie and poorly written script. if it doesn't get canned it will be surprising if it makes it past season 2.

80% of the reviews over five stars are singe use accounts (shills)
This show is laughably bad. Overage rating of people with a history of more than one single rating or review is 2.36/10
So there is a lot of shilling.
And what is with eschewing firearms? The minute these people walked out of their protected compound they would be a in a world with zero rule of law, and the ability to defend themselves against the portion of people who mean them ill would depend on being armed with firearms (not sticks or spears)

Truly Bad Show
Horrible writing.
None of the kids can act. They are all stereotypes written by adults pretending to know how the kids would act and react.
This is clearly the worst of the three Walking Dead sows and that's not saying much since at this point, they are all horrible.

Obviously meant to be BORING!
Sweet Jesus! That was God Awful. The director and producers should be sued. Did you guys make this show just to piss us off?
Should've told Negan to bash my head before watching this
I got a simple rule - If anything makes you sleepy, don't waste your precious time on it. Find something better. This boring mess did that in 10 mins.
Mediocre acting, poor dialogue, plot seems to be written taking a doody. There is a 'World Beyond' this atrocity. Explore that!

TWD fans need to watch till the end
If you didn't read the series, and have been wondering what happened to Rick, and who the Black Helicopters belonged to, TWD World Beyond is worth watching. The first season is pretty painful, focusing mainly on a group of super annoying youth with no life experiences or where with all. It's frustrating to have so few Walker scenes, or encounters where characters just *push* Walkers out of their way to escape. However, the payoff by early Season 2 is worth the pain. The teens have no one to trust, the adults are shifty and frequently lying for a myriad of reasons, and the communities introduced have secrets at their cores. I binged the second season in 3 sittings, as I hoped to catch a glimpse of other TWD characters, but Jadis is assuredly the best and worst character to have been reintroduced.
Pointless shallow teenage non-horror drivel
As several other reviewers have remarked, it gets worse every week.

If you're thinking about watching this, don't
With constantly annoying characters and a disturbing lack of thrills, this is by far the worst walking dead show. It's basic and infuriating with the lack of anything interesting happening. Just do yourself a favor and avoid it.
