Still, presented with boundless possibilities, this opening salvo serves as an uninspired addition to a franchise whose progeny -- both too often and somewhat ironically -- have just seemed to mindlessly follow the crowd. -- among the threads left to unwind. The writing, however, feels particularly weak, trying to tell small-scale stories that capture society falling apart while usually focusing on a pair of characters thrown together in some peculiar way.

Tales of the Walking Dead Series-Premiere Recap (Vulture)

It's a zom-rom-com meet-cute for the ages! A recap of “Joe / Evie,” the series-premiere of AMC's 'Tales of the Walking Dead.'

She reveals that she listens to music constantly to drown out the sounds of people desperately trying to enter her shelter and that she has a trophy case of watches she took from those she killed. (It should probably not be a shock that someone with the screen name USHLDBSCARD turned out to be a psycho killer. I was fully convinced the twist here was going to be some kind of Catfish scenario, but USHLDBSCARD is a lovely woman named Sandra who seems genuinely thrilled to see Joe. It’s a zom-rom-com meet-cute for the ages! Forty-five minutes is not a lot of time to introduce a bunch of characters and tell a whole story, but it’s still a little jarring that Tales introduces Gilligan and then depicts his inevitable death at the hands of a hungry zombie horde in the span of about three minutes. Their relationship isn’t exactly romantic, but there’s a sweetness that clearly touches both of them, and it’s nice to see a story in this relentlessly downbeat franchise that has so much optimism about what two random people might be able to do to each other. I even gave The Walking Dead: World Beyond a fair shake at this very website, though it quickly became clear that it was doomed to underwhelm as well.

'Tales Of The Walking Dead' Is Here, And It Is Weird (Forbes)

At least what I was expecting was something akin to World War Z, the book, which included different implications of the zombie apocalypse around the globe.

I knew that the point of this show was supposed to be a look at new characters and settings, and yet I just don’t know how I feel about the notion that the entire feel of these episodes should feel totally divorced from the world The Walking Dead has established. But then they flip off the comedy switch for a prequel episode about Alpha, and a fourth episode about a man studying zombies in a nature preserve. AMC+ subscribers have already seen the first episode, and I already watched three of them as screeners a few weeks back.

Tales of the Walking Dead Premiere Recap: Did the Spinoff's First ... (TVLine)

Our recap of 'Tales of the Walking Dead' Season 1, Episode 1 — 'Evie/Joe' — reveals how a tag team was made of Terry Crews and Olivia Munn.

So as Sandra went full-on Fatal Attraction running around with a knife, Evie was able to defend herself and free a tied-up Joe just in time for him to hurl a weapon into his would-be girlfriend’s chest. Harsh words exchanged, Joe took his leave of Evie, and finally made his way to the home of his mystery woman. During a pit stop, Joe invited Evie to read his journal for clues as to the exact whereabouts of his mystery woman’s home. Furious, Joe lashed out at Evie, going so far as to declare himself Team Steve. In turn, she called Joe all the way out. Suddenly lonely, Joe decided to hop on his souped-up motorcycle and take a road trip in hopes of meeting a fellow doomsday prepper with whom he’d been flirtatiously corresponding online prior to the apocalypse. Once the first of the Tales of the Walking Dead was told in Sunday’s “Evie/Joe,” a single question loomed large: Did the premiere of the anthology series — the third spinoff of the AMC drama that wraps its 11-season run this fall — leave you eager to return for a second story…

'Tales of the Walking Dead' Review: Terry Crews and Olivia Munn ... (Hollywood Reporter)

The 'Tales of the Walking Dead' anthology serves up standalone stories starring Terry Crews, Olivia Munn, Samantha Morton and more.

It’d be an exaggeration to say “Blair/Gina” feels nothing like The Walking Dead. As the pair find themselves mired in an apparently endless cycle of death — leaving the office shortly before four each day to find themselves offed by five, all so they can find themselves back at the office shortly before four again — they encounter no shortage of blood and gore, and even get bitten a few times themselves. Unfortunately for Tales of the Walking Dead, it’s also the premiere, and therefore the installment that bears the most responsibility to convince a curious viewer to keep watching. For my money, though, the true standout of Tales of the Walking Dead so far is “Blair/Gina,” about two squabbling coworkers during the early days of the outbreak. Though much of its run time is occupied, inevitably, with a bloody lesson about the dark side of man, its quieter moments grasp at the devastating impossibilities that Dee faces in trying to raise a child, 9-year-old Lydia (Scarlett Blum), in a universe so defined by danger and despair. But it’s the chapter that feels most like a cynical branding calculation: The Walking Dead + famous people = attention, even if the show has nowhere interesting to direct that attention once it has it. It’s a human-sized heartbreak in the midst of world-ending chaos, a reminder of what’s at stake amid all the gloom and doom.

'Tales Of The Walking Dead' Episode 1 Review: Corny, Pointless ... (Forbes)

There is a version of tonight's episode of Tales Of The Walking Dead that I might have actually enjoyed.

A grab bag of all these fractured, half-baked (heh) ideas rolled into a Frankenstein’s monster with no narrative substance and only the charm of Terry Crews to sustain it. But then they leave the well-stocked and fortified bunker instead of, I dunno, taking advantage of the safety and bounty it provides. What was the point? There was just so much unbearably cheesy conversation we had to sit through between Evie and Joe I had to try not to throw up in my mouth. And again, even when you do and even if you’re super stoned, you’re not going to be totally at the mercy of a small woman when you’re the same size as Terry Crews. It’s not even remotely realistic or plausible. In the spirit of optimism, let’s start with . . . I think the red flags maybe should have started popping up for Joe when she showed so much interest in him one month after her husband died. But no, the bike gets stolen. There is a version of tonight’s episode of Tales Of The Walking Dead that I might have actually enjoyed. But I guess in the writer’s room at Walking Dead HQ that’s how everyone thinks pot brownies work. But those good moments only help underscore what a waste the rest of the episode ended up being. I can only shake my head and wonder how it was ever greenlit in the first place.

'Tales Of The Walking Dead' Star Terry Crews & Co-Creator ... (Deadline)

As the original TWD prepares to air its final episodes, AMC's zombie apocalypse universe has spawned a new show & flexed some new muscles.

I think it’s time for some of these spinoffs to happen and for some of these characters to get a little bit more screentime. It’s a true universe, and a big part of it is like, hey, Terry, you’re going to be the Hulk in this thing, you know what I mean? My first movie was called The 6th Day, and it was with Mike Rooker, who literally was the guy that told me how to stand and how to look and do my thing. I love a great villain that’s a woman and a mother, and you know, I’m a mother. Even with me, I realized that if I didn’t open up and if I didn’t get help, I was going to die, you know? When I finally found out how to open up and how to kind of get in touch with who I was and my feelings and the whole thing, it was a world changer, man. But, I have to say, there seems to be a lot of you in Joe, the more vulnerable side … POWELL: You know, I would have to leave that to Mr. Gimple. He’s the master of the universe at the moment. “It’s a true universe, and a big part of it is like, hey, Terry, you’re going to be the Hulk in this thing, you know what I mean?” declares the genre leaping America’s Got Talent host “I’m like, whoa!” It’s the fact that they did a brilliant job of establishing me in the world, and we all know, if you ever watch Walking Dead, that if anything ends hopeful, all of a sudden there’s going to be a twist. And man, there are really, really dark times ahead, and that’s what I’m waiting to really portray, and I think this whole episode does a beautiful job of establishing us, and now it’s time to put us in the fire, you know what I mean? He knew this was going to happen, and he was right, but the problem is that no man is an island.

Tales of the Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 1 Review: Evie / Joe (TV Fanatic)

In the real world, Evie (Olivia Munn) and Joe (Terry Crews) would not get along and would probably avoid each other like the plague. They have very different ...

He had a safe place to call home and had prepared for the end of the world before it actually happened. But you got me. Once you get me to wherever I need to go, you can take off. Obviously, I was prepared.Sandra Now, I don't want you to feel that, when I leave, that you got a raw deal. That was easy. We also have a ton of weed plants. No one ever thinks bad things will happen. Look, I don't want to be too Pollyanna, but if there was ever an ideal situation to have your bike stolen, I mean, this is it. There's a greenhouse on a greywater system, with lots of organic vegetables. Evie: Well, then you just became my involuntary chauffeur. Evie: This couldn't have happened at a better time.

Tales of the Walking Dead begins with a great road trip story (Undead Walking)

Tales of the Walking Dead's first episode, "Evie/Joe," pairs up the dynamic duo of Terry Crews and Olivia Munn. The actors have great onscreen chemistry.

They begin their travels in Ohio and travel to Michigan, where the people they seek live. After a very rocky start, they come to a common ground and continue on their journey. He decides to seek out a gal he met online and only knows as USHLDBSCRD.

'Tales of the Walking Dead' episode 1 'Evie/Joe' recap/review (AIPT)

Instead of taking bold narrative choices, 'Tales of the Walking Dead' opens with a tragically pedestrian episode.

But let’s go back to the technical issues for a bit. After gagging Joe instead of killing him, Sandra wipes off the clown makeup, steps outside, and invites Evie in for shelter and a drug brownie. Thankfully, Evie and Joe make it outside and slam the bunker door shut. After a while, a man was able to enter and attacked, forcing her to kill him. As the two continue to bond/flirt, she gives Joe a brownie to eat before asking if she can freshen up. Joe grabs Evie’s gun and attempts to shoot him only to find that the weapon wasn’t loaded. He notices security cameras rigged up in the trees and begs his friend ( Sandra) to let him in. The next day, Joe is turning on the bike (conveniently disengaging the kill switch) when Evie calls for him to come back inside. When he tells her that the vehicle has a kill switch, she forces him to drive her where she wants to go or be shot. Although it’s been over a year since she last saw her husband, Evie believes that the universe brought Joe into her life so she could find Steven again — or at least his paintings to see if he still loved her or not. Joe then hands over his poetry/transcript book and asks if she can help locate his friend since she knows the area. After taking them all down (and Joe saying how impressed he is with Evie’s martial arts skills), she finally lets him out of his handcuffs.

Stream It Or Skip It: 'Tales Of The Walking Dead' On AMC, An ... (Decider)

Along the way, he gets trapped by Evie (Olivia Munn), a fellow survivalist. She's more in the crunchy granola vein, not eating meat but growing her own weed.

All of these storytelling methods suggest that the stumbling biters are going to be even less of a factor than they sometimes are during the other three shows. But the performances are entertaining enough to make up for some fractured storytelling and weird, overly positive vibe. But when a catastrophic accident happens, they both are surprised to find themselves back in the office with the chance to make different choices. Our Take: It feels like the theme of Tales Of The Walking Dead is how the zombie apocalypse brings unlikely pairs of people together. Fear The Walking Dead is still going strong, and there are three other series in the works (World Beyond only lasted two seasons). Now Scott Gimple and company have created an anthology series that can tell lots of different stories that happened during and after the zombie apocalypse. So she takes him with her at gunpoint, and as they go on the road, singing Charlie Pride songs and fighting walkers, they learn to trust each other, which comes in handy at an opportune moment.

'Tales of the Walking Dead' Kicks Off with Some Familiar Franchise ... (TV Insider)

'Evie/Joe' re-introduces viewers to the 'Walking Dead' world by telling a familiar story of unlikely friendship.

In the end, Evie saves Joe, they kill his prepper pal, and they decide to start over and find the beauty in the new world together as friends. Unsurprisingly, Evie and Joe find common ground on the journey and become friends. Before the end of the world, Joe had been talking online to another doomsday prepper in Michigan who he had a “thing” for, but they never met in person. Joe and Evie get into an argument and they separate. In fact, you might’ve already guessed the twist at the end of the episode. Evie and Joe wind up having to reluctantly trust each other in order to make it to Michigan, where, surprise, they both want to go to reunite with people they love.

Is Tales of the Walking Dead episode 1 Evie/Joe worth watching? (Undead Walking)

Tales of the Walking Dead is the latest spinoff in The Walking Dead universe. With the flagship series set to end in November 2022.

It is a great example of how life would actually be in an apocalypse. The chemistry between Crews and Munn alone makes this episode worth the watch. With the flagship series set to end in November 2022, AMC Networks has big plans for this universe, and the new spinoffs will open the small world of TWD worldwide.

Tales of the Walking Dead: The Best Animals in the TWD Universe (Den of Geek)

Surviving in the world of The Walking Dead takes more than just a sharp knife and a cache of food, you need love from a cuddly critter.

In “ The First Day of the Rest of Your Life,” Shiva shows up during battle to kill several saviors and save Carl’s life from one of the Junkyardigans. She catches up with a fleeing Savior in “ The Damned” and makes short work of him. Her tragic backstory, with Ezekiel saving her life after an accident nearly causes her to bleed out, only increases the audience’s love for Shiva (and the fact that she was pretty good CGI, especially for TV, helps). When Shiva died, a little part of Ezekiel died with her. Skidmark might have been the first Walking Dead animal to get an episode named in his honor, but there’s something to be said for survival. She’s an intimidating figure next to an intimidating figure, because the only kind of person who keeps a tiger as a pet is the kind of guy too crazy and dangerous to mess with. One of the crucial pieces of The Walking Dead‘s second season takes place in the very first episode, “ What Lies Ahead.” In that episode, Carl (Chandler Riggs) goes with Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Shane (Jon Bernthal) to look for Sophia (Madison Lintz) after she got separated from the group during the chaos of a walker herd attack. Unfortunately, Daryl and Aaron (Ross Marquand) are attacked by walkers, and in the attack, Buttons the horse turns into Buttons the buffet. Carol comes into the auditorium at the Kingdom, and sitting on a throne with a tiger at his side is Ezekiel (Khary Payton). Shiva the tiger remains a major figure throughout season 7, intimidating both Rick and Jesus and allowing animal whisperer Daryl to actually pet her. In the first episode of Tales of the Walking Dead, Joe (Terry Crews) and Evie (Olivia Munn) are on their way to Michigan when the two get side-tracked at an old warehouse. Violet is the first victim of the flu virus that sweeps through the prison, killing multiple people and causing them to reanimate and attack other survivors while everyone is asleep. Violet had been raised from a piglet by Carl, and despite her being a food animal, Carl still was close enough to the pig to name her and notice changes in her personality. When Morgan stumbles across Eastman’s cabin in The Walking Dead season 6’s “ Here’s Not Here,” he doesn’t follow a trail of smoke or catch sight of a working whirligig or scarecrow. In general, the shows that make up The Walking Dead‘s expanded universe don’t tend to leave a lot of room for sentimentality.

“Tales of the Walking Dead” Review – New Series Shambles ... (Bloody Disgusting)

As fans anticipate the remaining 8 episodes of The Walking Dead's final season this Fall, AMC's spin-off series Tales of The Walking Dead has released its.

Despite this episode’s shortcomings, I’m still very eager to check out the rest of the “Tales of the Walking Dead” lineup. The prospect of genre-bending “Walking Dead” scenarios is way too appealing to not at least tune in for. Everything from the moonlit, foggy countrysides to the claustrophobia of Joe’s man-cave captures the color palette of the apocalypse in interesting ways. As fans anticipate the remaining 8 episodes of The Walking Dead’s final season this Fall, AMC’s spin-off series Tales of The Walking Dead has released its first episode. Watching both characters uncover the true personalities beneath one another is the best part of the episode, anchored by those strong performances. “Evie/Joe” does make an attempt to twist up its formula with a surprise slasher revelation by its end, but the execution comes off as borderline goofy and completely contrasts with the established tone of the episode to that point.
