Fear the Walking Dead. The Walking Dead is decent, but extremely overrated. FTWD is a whole lot better in my opinion.
I really cared about the characters in Season 1 of FTWD and I loved that it didn't rely on action and gore to carry the show, but instead focused on the characters and their personal stories. In TWD I never really care about the characters, and never care if they die or not. Never seen the ones you mentioned.
Seen plenty of trailers for Into the Badlands though, and WOW does it look terrible. Lol. This is a film, not a show, but my favorite post-apocalyptic production is easily The Road.
Both the film and book are amazing.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
