★★★☆☆ (3.5/5)
Whether Fear the Walking Dead Season 1 is "better" depends on your preference for realism and slow-burn dread versus the action-heavy heroics of later seasons or the original series. While initially met with mixed reviews for its pacing, it is now widely regarded as part of the show's "peak era" (Seasons 1–3).
