Following Fear the Walking Dead’s decision to kill off one of their most-popular characters in Kim Dickens’ Madison, we were very curious to see what the ratings would be. Would the show suffer without one of its biggest characters?

Well, based on the numbers from Sunday night, it does appear that this is the case — though you could also cite natural ratings erosion as a factor. Sunday’s episode generated around 1.88 million viewers, which is the smallest viewer figure that we’ve seen for the series to date (at least in terms of live viewing). It posted a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which is the second-lowest total we’ve seen for the series.

While we do think that losing Madison is a big factor in some viewers losing interest, we do think that there is one other fundamental problem for Fear the Walking Dead at the moment: The simple fact that the show doesn’t feel like the same one that viewers were watching even a year ago. While it is natural for there to be some cast turnover, the amount that this series has had is rather startling. Alycia Debnam-Carey and Colman Domingo are the only two actors from the first season still featured prominently. We know that Daniel Salazar is presumably still out there, but there is no word at the moment as to when Ruben Blades will return or even if he will. We just know that this character remains one of the most interesting people within this world.

Before making too many judgments that Fear the Walking Dead is about to become walker chow, let’s just wait and see what the quality of many of the upcoming episodes turns out to be. That should give us a good chance to gauge just how excited we should be for the future.
