I'm about half way through season 5 ATM, and it seems to be the a show that is the opposite of the original twd, FTWD starts off with people ready to do anything to survive and then redeem themselves, where as TWD is more of an evolution from just killing the dead (if that makes sense) to doing and killing anyone or anything to keep the core group alive, it's still entertaining, but it's not a patch on the original.
