Variety: ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ Premiere Recap

For a series named after a lurid men’s crime magazine, the second season of HBO’s “True Detective” was woefully short on pulp, and tonight’s feature-length finale was no exception. While last week’s ungainly info-dump managed to unmask the killers of both Caspere and Stan, expose two conspiracies, introduce a love story and kill off a main character, tonight’s underwhelming conclusion barely had enough plot to fill up 30 minutes, let alone 90.
