There is a lot going on behind the scenes with this character and I can’t wait to see more of her. There is definitely a sense that even when she appears to be engaging in casual conversation she is carefully measuring every word and gesture.

Even when she is seemingly friendly and open she oozes menace and gives a strong sense of being in control at all times. Julia Ormond, who plays CRM commander Elizabeth, is fantastic. The connections that are made in episode 101 are satisfying and also intriguing. The clues that are revealed about CRM in episodes 101 and 102 of World Beyond are fascinating and are just enough to make CRM even more mysterious. The Civic Republic Military, CRM, is something fans have been curious about ever since their helicopters were first spotted but that curiosity grew after one of those helicopters took Rick Grimes and Jadis.

It’s very possible that World Beyond, which is a limited series that will only run for two seasons, will be the bridge between The Walking Dead and the Rick Grimes focused films. Up until this point, we’ve only seen very small groups of people banding together to try and survive, but in World Beyond we find out that there is a larger world out there with thousands of survivors and thriving communities.įinding out more about that larger narrative as the show progresses will be very interesting. One of the lingering questions that fans have had since the very beginning of TWD was whether or not larger chunks of cities and bigger populations had survived. Finally more is revealed about what CRM is, and what they do, and what other societies and groups might have survived the apocalypse. One of the most exciting things about World Beyond is how it ties together the threads of a bigger narrative arc that has been scattered throughout The Walking Dead and Fear TWD and starts to weave them into a more cohesive story. Glimpses of a much bigger world – and a bigger story Little touches throughout the colony, like the zombie-proof doors on apartments to keep residents who die, and turn, trapped inside are nudging reminders that while the world feels so much like our own it’s still TWD universe. The Campus Colony world feels like Anytown, USA, until a contingent from CRM arrives, or until there is a jarring reminder that the empties as they call them are still there and are still a threat. Which is interesting and also keeps viewers off-balance. The Campus Colony is well established, safe, and has thousands of people living in a pretty good imitation of what life was like before the apocalypse. In this part of TWD universe safety is not an issue. Every day is a hard-fought victory against the death that is everywhere. Both The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead are built around a small cell of people who are just trying to survive day to day and who find others and build communities along the way. It would be a mistake to compare TWD World Beyond to other shows in TWD universe. While there are some threads that tie World Beyond to The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead and all three shows are relatively close on the apocalypse timeline World Beyond is set in a reality that is vastly different than fans have seen before. In our current reality, TWD World Beyond feels very familiar and yet unfamiliar too as viewers meet characters who live in a world that seems very similar to own but has jarring reminders that they are living ten years into an apocalypse. Maybe it’s because the early marketing made it seem like a toned-down teen version of The Walking Dead or maybe because I couldn’t really get a feel for what this new show was going to look like I had mixed expectations when I sat down to watch the first two episodes, “Brave” and “The Blaze of Glory”. I wasn’t sure what to expect from T he Walking Dead World Beyond, but the show is definitely more complex than I thought it would be. The Walking Dead World Beyond offers a lot of clues about the mysterious CRM and a totally new perspective on life in the apocalypse.
