I didn't watch any episodes of the spin-off show. I read the reviews and I don't recall reading a single good review about the show overall but they finally said some positive things about the show after the finale of the season. So maybe the show finally found it's groove of where it's going and what it's wanting to accomplish? I don't know.
I do know this. My son is the biggest Walking Dead fan on the planet and he only watched the first 2 or 3 episodes of this new one and said it sucked and wasn't worth bothering with.
The biggest complaint from him, and from everything I read, is exactly what Jason mentioned here and that it's so poorly written that it doesn't make you care at all about the characters. Top that off with the show was going to be living under enormous pressure to succeed due to how great The Walking Dead is that it probably never had a real shot to begin with.

I think the main problem with the spinoff is that after the first few seasons of the main show you have already figured out what the world was like after the SHTF. So you don't really care about the first few months after it happened anymore.

After 6 episodes they're already pushing the dad to be in the same place emotionally that it took Rick 3 whole seasons to get to

Yeah that's not good at all if the lead guy is going to be breaking down and stuff that quickly. They're writing him to not be nearly as good, or strong, a character as Rick. Which will no doubt hurt your lead character, whose already going to be hurt by the fact that he's immediately compared to Rick from the get go.
