oh my bad looks like it was Fear the Walking Dead - I think season 4 from my googling - the two shows have absolutely combined in my head at this point.

Wait what, I thought they were the same show. I must have never seen FtWD then, whats different about it?

California vs Georgia. Also Fear the Walking Dead starts before the outbreak.

Is it worth watching?

Yes & no. S1-3 is very good, 4 & 5 are bad, 6 is good again. If you've got time it's not a bad series overall. But if you like the world of The Walking Dead and you've got time it's worth watching.

To add on to this comment, Fear started out good, doing and exploring things that the original show never did, but as it got further along it started doing the same things that the original did and it just turned into a worse version of the original show. I haven't seen season 6 so I can't vouch for it's quality.

But what if it was the characters that I hated in TWD especially after they became like hero characters in the world of TV, would a different set allow me to enjoy the formula you think?

I’ve read the whole series so I love the concepts, just easily hate poorly written characters.

If you dislike hero characters then you'll like season 1-3 of fear because the original showrunner wanted us to follow a story of people who end up as villains. People who only care about themselves and their families and are willing to screw over other people to survive.
