The Walking Dead: World Beyond

Milk it for all that it is worth.

Nico Tortorella looked like he was tweaking big time Sunday night.

He was on the Walking Dead special with Chris Hardwick, and his facial tics were out of control.

AMC had the video on its site, but then took it down. Probably because of Nico.

Sorry, can't stand that insufferable Nico. He just makes it unwatchable

There are some cuties in this cast.

Nico Tortorella, Al Calderon, and a cute little Timmy Chalamet lookalike named Nicolas Cantu.

And of course, Julia Ormond!

Another Walking Dead series....WTF? Why?!?!?

There's a lot more where they came from, R5!

Rick is getting his own series, and so are Daryl and Carol.

You get a show! And you get a show! And you get a show!

Enough is enough, the genre is dead.

that thing nico is fucking insufferable

Looks like Nico's character is gay

Is Nico Tortorella gay in real life?

He seems gay, but his bio says married to a woman.

Isn't he 'fluid?' Which is code for 'bi', which is code for 'comfortably gay in my 40's'?

I'm just excited that we're FINALLY going to get some new programming.

It's been all reruns since March.

The zombie apocalypse theme is kinda worn out. How can there still be armies of corpses 10 years later? Wouldn't decomposition have taken all of their muscle mass?

Lol R13.

People have been asking that question about the original Walking Dead series, for years.

Yet there are still hordes of zombies in the original series, some 15 or more years into the future.

It's kind of ridiculous.

But you have to suspend disbelief, in order to enjoy the show.

Nina from The Americans is the star. I'll give it a watch. It's supposedly only a two season show.

My muscle mass has decomposed in just 6 months away from the gym.

Can't wait to see Nico!

He's hot.

R10 Nico claims to be genderfluid and bisexual and his "wife" claims to be a lesbian.

Nico is also both an attention whore and an actual whore

I don't think I've seen Nico act in anything before.

He's actually a pretty good actor. And very easy on the eyes.

Once again, Walking Dead neuters the gay character by putting his boyfriend in an entirely different city.

WTF?

So you've never seen him act before but can tell from a 3 minute trailer that he's a good actor?

I watched the first episode on Sunday night, R21.

He was really good.

Has anyone explained why/how the black girl and the white girl are sisters? With two black parents?

What a bizarre thing to do.

Are we supposed to pretend that the white girl has two black biological parents and a black sister?

I really don't get it.

The white girl was adopted perhaps.

Are they going to cover up all Nico’s ink? If not, how are they going to explain it?

"Are we supposed to pretend that the white girl has two black biological parents and a black sister?"

Are we supposed to pretend you're not racist?

The answer to that question is clearly in the first episode, but clearly you were literally struck stupid by the sight of a light skinned girl and dark skinned girl being sisters.

I hope you haven't reproduced. You don't seem like you'd have any good contributions to the gene pool.

I watched the first episode of this on Prime the other day and it's shockingly bad. Poorly acted, poorly written, bad premise and it's lame. On the other hand, Tortorella was good in it.

The ratings are horrible. 35% all critics and 25% top critics and going down on Rotten.

Amazon should cancel it now. Today.

I watched it, and I wasn't impressed.

Amazon destroyed it R28 that's why.

They did the same to the American version of Utopia. Destroyed it.

Amazon?

R26, the actress isn't a light skinned black girl. She's actually a white girl.

So if she's playing a "light skinned" black girl, then that's even more racist.

Because even cartoon voice white actors who play minority characters, are being cancelled.

Btw, the actress is Alexa Mansour, and at the very most, she's racially ambiguous.

I also don't buy that Aliyah Royale and Alexa Monsour (photo above) are sisters.

It's made by Amazon R30.

No, it isn’t.

It's a shame that Nico is so insufferable because he's a decent actor.

Well, he’s pretty.

I'll give it a chance because of the hot gay character but the pilot sucked. It felt like a student film product filled with theater majors.

The only review I read in advance was a rave. Boy was I confused.

The two sisters are completely uninteresting and uncharismatic. Very poorly cast.

Who knew Omaha Nebraska was so multiracial?

Sorry got confused and thought it was an Amazon original. But it was made by AMC.

Apparently, there are going to be 2 x 10 episode seasons before it concludes. If it's not cancelled that is.

I LOVED The Walking Dead for about 7 years, but then it started to grate on my nerves.

Instead of just ending the original show, there are endless prequels, and supposedly movies coming down the pike.

The ratings for this new show are about 1.5 million viewers. I'm sure AMC will keep it on the air for 10 years, with 4 spin-offs.

Hopefully, episode two will be better.

Now that their community was destroyed, the refugees are on the road for the rest of the series.

Which means more forests and ugly scenery, just like in the original series.

Episode two is already out on the torrents and the show remains the same.

Why did they even bother with another Walking Dead series when it will just be the characters walking around in the woods?

Because it’s all about the characters and these characters will sparkle.

[quote] Why did they even bother with another Walking Dead series when it will just be the characters walking around in the woods?

Because AMC is cheap as fuck.

They want to suck in the loyal Walking Dead fanbase by shitting out a new show, but without spending the money to make it a quality show.

AMC fucking sucks. Now you know why it's getting sued, left and right.

I wonder what would have happened if Walking Dead was on another network and if they'd spent some money on it. I gave up on the main series because it was just walking around the woods over and over and over. Negan was the last straw. When he wasn't killed off after the end of his first season I couldn't bear it anymore. It just turned into torture porn.

Negan was a popular character in the comic, and the guy who wrote the comic wanted to see his comic come to life verbatim on the screen. Then he created hundreds of characters in the comic, many of whom were extreme or childish caricatures of a person. They didn’t work on the small screen, but he wouldn’t let them go.

He decided if comic book readers liked a bad guy, TV viewers would love him. But Negan killed Glenn, and Glenn wasn’t a comic book character, he was a well fleshed out husband, father and friend. Nobody’s going to love the guy that did that.

The last few days I’ve been reading comments from people who saw the recent Walking Dead episode. Many of them said when Negan came, they quit watching. Some want to watch the spinoffs because there’s no Negan. Anyone with a brain should have realized, if people hate a character so much they quit watching, kill him off. But not this egomaniac, who thought, if I just keep ramming him down people’s throats, they’ll love him. No.

Watch the Umbrella Academy. Also a comic, but the characters have changed in many ways from the comics, from casting different ethnicities from the comic, to changes to the story. That writer understood TV is not a comic.

Is Negan still on the show?

R50, yes! I quit watching when Glenn was killed. I thought I’d watch the recent episode to see if it was better because some people said online that there were a couple of bad years and it got better. Now they’re trying to make Negan lovable, and Maggie just came back at the end of the episode. I hope she shoots him in the face.

The last episode had Negan and Maggie hanging out with the others like everything was cool. Give me a fucking break! You think Maggie is going to chat with the guy who murdered her husband? She would have cut his balls off on first sight.

What have you been up to, since you killed my husband? Anything new?

I was done with the show after Negan. I haven't watched since, and I loved it in the beginning. It started as 'what would 21st century people from a first world country do if the world ended?' which was a pretty interesting topic but then it just turned into torture porn and gratuitous violence.

I love that Nico's character is gay on this show, but why won't they put his boyfriend together with him??

Fuck you, Gale Ann TURD!

R54, that happened because the comic writer was writing the comic as more and more violent, he had to top himself every issue, and he just had to make the TV show word for word the same.

I read some ridiculous descriptions of scenes in the comic, like “there was a battle and Rick and Daryl and Denise and Maggie and Carl and X and Y and Z fought Mary Sue and Sally Jane and A, B, C, D, and ...” it sounded like you were supposed to remember a hundred people. Even some comic fans thought it was too much. But paying living actors to play dozens of roles just confuses the audience and they can’t care about that many people, or tell them apart.

There’s a reason Lost in Space is about one family, not NYC in space. People have to be able to relate to individuals for dramatic reasons. The Walkers are the herd, and you don’t care about them.

And yet stupid fucking Rosita and Eugene are STILL on the show!!!

WTF??

They are the worst characters ever!!

Is Carol still on the show?

Carol and Daryl are getting their own show, R58!

It's fucking insane.

What’s insane is that long white hair makes her look a hundred years old. In real life, her hair is still pretty short and she looks so much better.

This is what her real hair is like now.

Just watched episode 2 of TWD - World Beyond and this show is the absolute pits!

How did it even get approved for release by AMC?

The main character actors are the pits. None of them have any charisma, they are all bland and don't gel. It's going to be badly acted endless entitled teen angst by teens who can't cope with anything. Awful.

Are Daryl and Carol finally going to fuck?

Was Nico in this episode, R61?

I pretty much watch for him.

The Carol actress looks younger IRL. I'll definitely watch the Carol/Daryl show, hopefully it will be better than the dreck that WD turned into.

Yes he is R63. Showed how he was thrown out of home after his father works out he's gay from using his computer etc.

Ironically - Tortorella is one of the only good things about the series.

"Are Daryl and Carol finally going to fuck? "

Unless it's literal rape, no. Carol is an out and proud lesbian.

Horseshit R66. Carol addressed this R66 on a TWD episode.

She specifically said she WASN'T a lesbian. We all saw it.

R66 is the "Carol is a lesbian" troll who trolls all of TWD threads.

It's like a weird obsession for that creature.

Carol was heading back to Georgia after attending Michfest when the darkness started.. That should be proof enough.

I thought Carol was married to a man on the show for a while.

Anyway, I read an article somewhere that was hinting they might decide to make them a couple down the road. In a way, I wish they wouldn’t. They make good friends and it’s nice to see a man and woman that are friends on TV. Everybody doesn’t have to fuck everybody else. Daryl’s backstory is that he’s traumatized by childhood abuse by his father and Merle and some people have guessed that maybe his crazy dad molested him. In an early episode, he was reading a book about overcoming child abuse. So he’s got his issues.

It’s nice to see a character that people just accept as he is, warts and all. He’s grown a lot because people accepted him as he was.

Thank you!!!!

It's these stupid frau producers who insist on ALWAYS pairing up males and females on every single fucking television show.

Daryl and Carol have the perfect understanding and perfect friendship. They CANNOT be a couple.

But the fraus just don't get it. Everything has to be a love story to them.

Carol was married to an abusive asshole named Ed.

R72, I haven’t watched the show recently but it sounds like she remarried a nicer person. And then they separated or divorced.

And she is getting some girl on girl action too.

She was with King Ezekial but they broke up after Henry was killed.

R73, Carol never remarried.

A couple of guys were interested, but she never went for it until she met Ezekiel.

They became a couple and adopted Henry from The Kingdom, but when Alpha killed Henry, Carol needed to go off on her own again.

The king also seemed like a queen to me.

Carol had hallucinations that Alpha was taunting her, saying she was too afraid to admit what she really wanted. I though it was hinting that Carol really wants a sexual relationship with Daryl.

Exactly r71! I hate it when a romance happens on a show or in a movie where it's not appropriate, and then that romance becomes central to the story. We want a post-apocalyptic zombie hellscape, not some shit love story.

And you're right, it's always fraus who push this garbage.

How long do we have to keep pretending that the white girl and the black girl are biological sisters with two black parents?

It's. So. Ridiculous.

Like we're supposed to just pretend that the white girl has two black parents.

But it is a zombie show.

So if we can believe that the dead can walk again, I guess it's not that much of a stretch that a white girl can have two black parents.

Nico's character's back story was so sad. :*o(

I just wanted to give him a big hug.

I just assumed the white girl was adopted.

None of the teen actors are all that good so far.

Nico seems very masculine and beefy in this show, a far cry from the guy wearing ball gowns to premieres. He’s the only highlight of this show so far.

[quote] Nico seems very masculine and beefy in this show, a far cry from the guy wearing ball gowns to premieres

It makes you wonder, which one is the act?

Nicolas Cantu is a very decent actor.

Is he gay? I see a long career ahead of him.

[quote]Hopefully, episode two will be better.

It wasn't.

King Ezekial is a trans person of color!

So did the Republic, or what ever the shadow government is called, obliterate the campus colony and the only survivors are the four kids and two security people who left earlier?

The female security person is actually a Russian spy right?

So the Nico character became the lover of he guy with the two daughters who are racially different right?

It’s problematic when one doesn’t have any interest in the main characters survival in a zombie epic and even feel compelled to hope for their demise.

[quote] So did the Republic, or what ever the shadow government is called, obliterate the campus colony and the only survivors are the four kids and two security people who left earlier?

Yes, R88. Evil Julia Ormond had them all wiped out.

Still not sure why, though.

[quote] So the Nico character became the lover of he guy with the two daughters who are racially different right?

Highly doubtful, R90.

Their dad is straight.

Nico's boyfriend (it was mentioned in episode one) was providing security for their dad, as he made his way to wherever it is that he went.

I'm only watching for Nico. He's the only compelling character on the show.

[quote]Hopefully, episode two will be better.

It was worse than episode 1 was R43.

I’m sorry. I have no interest in watching stupid people (whom I don’t care about) do stupid things. I’m out.

Tortorella is cute and a good actor. It's too bad he's such a fucking nutbag.

If he'd been able to keep a lid on the crazy and presented as normal, he could've had a bigger career.

[quote] It's too bad he's such a fucking nutbag.

I don't think that Nico's crazy. I think he's on drugs.

You can tell, because he gets manic. But when he's sober, he's perfectly normal.

So Julia Ormond's army wiped out the Omaha colony because they thought it would be a future threat. They want their Portland colony to be the leaders in the new world.

This show is just too WOKE for me.

It's like every SJW meme all rolled into one zombie show.

I just can't.

Was there any explanation about why the sisters are a different race this week, it such a huge distraction almost as much as the black one’s bobble headed acting. Why does her head wiggle like she’s Katherine Hepburn at the end?

No explanation, R100. I don't think there will ever be one.

We're just supposed to "pretend" to not notice it.

The one good thing about this show besides Nico, is Al Calderon (Sgt. Major Barca). He's cute.

I think he might be gay, too.

Just look at Al's ABS!

Did anyone else see Nico’s huge package during the dock scene? It might have been costuming, but maybe not?

Nico is really doing a great job on this show.

I wouldn't be surprised at all, if he landed more work thanks to WDWB.

Especially since it's a limited two-season run.

I really love his hairy chest.

SOOOOOO SEXY!

Not a bad review.

I watched the first 4 episodes & I like it more than Fear & the last season of the original.

The 2 season limit also appeals to me as it won't drag on forever.

NocBro Nation reviews the homophobic scenes in Episode 2 starting at 3:15 =

Here are the other World Beyond reviewers reactions to Episode 2's homophobic scenes starting at 1:38 =

I watched three episodes before passing judgment. Its a snoozer to me. I also dont understand how the two teens are so chunky/fat. Is there that much surplus food? Makes no sense.

R110 The original show had the fat guy Shane left for dead, Denise, Hershel, Eugene & also Abe who never looked like he was in string bean territory.

And they all still look very clean and well-groomed after being on the run for at least a week now.

R111, I rationalized those folks by it still being early in the plague, ie still plenty of canned goods, dry pasta, etc. 10 years in seems like all that would be mostly gone or spoiled ...

Eugene is still on the show & is no string bean.

Luke is also about the same size.

Since this is only a two-season show, I'll stick with it for now. Hopefully the action will pick up. I'm curious if they're going to go back to their colony, not knowing it's been destroyed.

Damn, Al Calderon (the soldier in the black uniform) is hot as fuck!

I don’t know if it was mentioned, but I think it was the week before last that they finally included that the girls were adopted and aren’t biological to the parents or each other clearing up that questionable casting issue. Now if they could explain how the fat one got to fat despite ten years of food shortages. She did have a prominent and powerful place in the community, so maybe it will be revealed that she illegally secreted from supplies fo her own welfare? They could do a storyline where she’s stealing food from the others maybe to reveal it.

Rofl R117.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I haven't watched the show in a few weeks, so I'm way behind on the story.

So the grifter kid played one of the gay students on the weird high school musical drama club show awhile back. Hopefully he’ll be a potential love interest for the Nico character in coming episodes. I wonder if Nico will be shown shirtless in any sex scenes? If they do will they cover the tattoos? He was a high schooler before it happened so it would be strange for him to have such extensive and professional work done post apocalyptic?

So, no one is watching this, not even hate watching? There was a good twist at the end of this week’s episode that gives hope that it’s on its way down a better path.

I am watching it but not sure why. I blame it on Covid 19 being I do nothing but stay in and watch shit like this.

I watched it, R120!

Suffice it to say that R119 won't get his wish.

But it was definitely a good episode, and that was quite a twist.

This show is really growing on me. The kids aren't nearly as annoying as they used to be, with the exception of the angsty girl. She still annoys me.

Percy (actor Ted Sutherland) is a cute twink.

Who's his boyfriend?

Sunday's episode was really good.

Silas is such a freak! Then again, so was his father.

What in the hell was up with that relationship?

And the surprise ending wasn't really a surprise to me. I knew who was going to walk through that door.

r121 same here. I've run out of things to watch during Covid and spending way more time at home than I normally do, so I'm watching this because there aren't too many more options.

[quote] Now if they could explain how the fat one got to fat despite ten years of food shortages.

And the wig, too.

These young kids are doing a great job on the show.

Considering that they're basically carrying this series, with the adults as supporting characters, I have to say that they are doing better than the adult casts of both Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead.

They are a bit angsty, but I guess you would expect that with "teenagers."

And the chubby sister looked really beautiful on Talking Dead with Chris Hardwick.

Season finale is next week!

Yawn

This is practically a recap of the finale and the last two episodes airing Sunday, so don’t read it if you’re afraid of spoilers. But one thing to know is Felix is reunited with his boyfriend, so at the very least there should be a gay kiss, but let’s hope for some haven’t seen you in long awhile gay sex!

One thing about all three of the Walking Dead series that makes me laugh is how diversity-by-committee every group of survivors are. Every group is just the right mix of multicultural, no matter where they are. Even in Bumfucke Oklahoma out on the plains its like 25% white, 25% black, 25% Latinx and 25% mixed-race/racially ambiguous.

[quote] Even in Bumfucke Oklahoma out on the plains its like 25% white, 25% black, 25% Latinx and 25% mixed-race/racially ambiguous.

Haha R131 so true.

This show is set in Kansas or Nebraska, which are both even LESS racially diverse than Bumfucke, Oklahoma.

Yet you wouldn't know that, based on the characters.

Have they explained how the very English Julia Ormond could have a Chola daughter?

[quote]Mansour

Mansour is a typical semitic name. I know some arabs and jews with this surname.

[quote] Have they explained how the very English Julia Ormond could have a Chola daughter?

Are you serious? Many Latinos in the US have one parent that is English/white European. Latinos are mixed of natives and whites, so do the math, idiot.

But she's really "street Chola" r135, incongruous with Ormond.

R133 What are you talking about, the actress is not Latino, she has a very complex ethnic, cultural and geographical past, but that is not one of them.

She talks total Chola.

[quote] Have they explained how the very English Julia Ormond could have a Chola daughter?

I was thinking this exact thing, watching last week's episode.

You have "posh" Julia Ormond, and her ghetto ass daughter. No fucking way. That's too unbelievable, even for a zombie apocalypse!!

This show is so ridiculous.

Tonight's the finale.

Did everyone die?

R141 It’s a two season arc and there’s another hour tonight, so I’ll say no. But I wouldn’t be disappointed by a Moldavian wedding attack by terrorists type ending.

Wow, the two episode finale was really good!

The season started off slow, but ended with a bang.

Huck is so dykey.

You can tell she just wants to hook up with Hope.

Spoiler alert: Nico's boyfriend Will is BLACK! lol

But they still didn't kiss on the lips.

Walking Dead is so fucking homophobic!

Everybody's in an interracial relationship.

I love that the two twinks, Percy and Elton are together.

Maybe they'll be forced to cuddle at night, to keep warm!

Percy is such a cutie.

Percy (Ted Sutherland) looks good in a tank top and boots.

Here's the top IMDB review for this clunker:

User Reviews

Is this the worst acting ever?

23 October 2020 | by ramsay_tindal – See all my reviews

I have seldom seen such poor acting and I have seen the Oakbank Primary School pantomime. It may be compensated by and engaging plot, but that is not the case.

More IMDB reviews. Almost all 1 star out of 10.

Consensus is that The Walking Dead: World Beyond was awful.

I don't care about stupid reviews.

I watch shows that I like, and don't watch shows that I don't like.

And I'm liking this show right now.

Tough titties, R150/R151.

Definitely got better. Are we assuming Felix’s boyfriend was with the military group to slaughter the campus population, but instead extracted a small group and has been on the run heading back to Ithaca and looking for Felix? The coat he was wearing looked beautiful, but fascist governments always had good uniform design.

I want Percy and Elton to fuck.

That is all.

There were strong “after the apocalypse everyone turns gay vibes” like sexual tension between Percy and Elton and between Hope and Huck. I guess Iris just gets to sit in the corner watching and masturbating.

[quote] I guess Iris just gets to sit in the corner watching and masturbating.

Rofl!

Silas the freak will fuck her fat ass!

Huck is such a dykey dyke... I just can't. She makes me uncomfortable.

Couples:

Huck/Hope

Percy/Elton

Iris/Silas

Felix & his right hand.

R157 I think his right hand is named WIll.

I was kind of hoping that Felix would have a better looking boyfriend than Will.

Walking Dead always pairs the wrong people together.

Rick & Michonne. Carol and Ezekiel. Gabriel and Rosita. Aaron and Eric. Wrong wrong wrong.

Felix belongs with a twink like Percy.

I think Nico would have firmly established in them’s contract the the boyfriend character not be better or equal looking to himself. That’s just how them rolls.

Why does Rosita get to be a slut whore bag, but the gay characters don't?

So far, she has been dicked down by Abraham, Gabriel, Saeed, cockteased Eugene, and probably sucked off countless others. She's the whore of all whores.

Why doesn't Aaron get to do that?

If anything, Felix seems like he would sleep around with everyone. We need to see this.
