Speaking of Grace and Morgan, another thing that Fear has been much more successful at than The Walking Dead in recent years is romance. As The Walking Dead got more and more cinematic, and started thinking bigger with its stunts and action sequences, Fear never seemed to forget that character is what has kept us long-term fans so invested for so long. But as the cast list grew, there became less and less time to delve deep into each individual. It lasted longer than expected in truth, considering Darabont stepped away from the show in season 2. That approach stuck around for a while, through the group's time at the prison and Alexandria, and coming face-to-face with Negan. Sure, our heroes would regularly find themselves getting out of scrapes with creatures that wanted to eat their brains, but the real tensions stemmed from things like Carol's abusive husband, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) trying to find his family, and Shane's secret relationship with Rick's wife Lori. In its early days, The Walking Dead might have just been a zombie show on paper, but Frank Darabont adapted Robert Kirkman's hugely popular graphic novel in a way that felt refreshingly intimate and character-driven.
