Fear the Walking Dead; AMC. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Obviously, this is going to follow the tone/subject of The Walking Dead, but they are trying to tackle it from a different angle. In this series, set in Los Angeles, we will see the beginnings of the apocalyptic world we were dropped into with TWD.
This series follows a mixed family that can barely hold itself together-- and now some new disease is causing the recently dead to return to mobility-- along with a taste for flesh.
The first season is six episodes, just like the original-- and it's already been picked up for Season Two.

Ballers (HBO; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
