Oddly enough, t hen I had actually never heard about the 2016-2017 Webisodes of "Fear the Walking Dead" titled "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" before now in 2023, as I happened to come across it by random chance on YouTube. Needless to say that with my love of all things zombie and "The Walking Dead" franchise in general, of course I had to sit down and watch these 16 short webisodes.

The storyline and plot in "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" is pretty straightforward. The audience is tossed into the action right away, and there isn't a bunch of fillers, dialogue or setup for the webisodes to sit through. Nay, this was straight to the action, pure and simple. And, of course, with each webisode running for less than a minute each, then there is not really room or leniency for fillers and such. I found the storyline in "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" to be enjoyable.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage". But with a very small cast ensemble, I will say that they had some good talents to portray the characters. I was especially impressed with actress Mishel Prada.

Something that was missing from "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" was more zombie action. Sure, you have some, but this was essentially a short story about Gabi's reunion with Colton and of her coming to terms with the dystopian world filled with ravenous zombies that she now lives in.

If you enjoy "The Walking Dead", or any of the numerous spin-offs, then you will also enjoy "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" for what it is; a short running tale.

My rating of "Fear the Walking Dead: Passage" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Since 2010, this horror-drama franchise—rooted in Robert Kirkman's comics—explores civilization's collapse through survival, moral compromise, and community across multiple series and films. It proved horror could sustain long-form, character-driven television storytelling.

The zombie horror subgenre features zombies, reanimated corpses, as central figures of fear and terror. The subgenre often explores themes of survival, societal breakdown, and can serve as a metaphor for societal anxieties, consumerism, conformity, and the dehumanizing effects of mass culture.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
