Does anyone else laugh at the horrendous decision making? [Spoiler]

I started watching this show out of genuine interest of the story and to fill in the gaps that The Walking Dead skipped over. I really enjoyed the first few of seasons of The Walked Dead, so was pretty excited to see what happened from the beginning of the plot and from the perspective of a large city. I felt the show had advertised on those points pretty heavily, but then it just seemed to skip through that as quickly as it could.

Even with that major disappointment, there still seemed to be something even more off with this show. Honestly at first I wanted to blame the actors for some horribly bad acting, but when you look at the character decision making, I think more of the blame is on the writers. A ton of the character decision making in this show is used strictly as a tool to direct the plot and is inconsistent with characters themselves for cheap shock value and it leaves almost every character in this show completely unrelatable, leaving me scratching my head.

When you look at an interview of any actor from Better Call Saul, the actors are so passionate about their roles, and you can see that they literally become that character in their head. BCS's plot is furthered by the characters, not the other way around. It moves in a way that is relatable and grabs your emotions to where you forget you are watching a show.

With Fear the Walking Dead, I now watch this show to laugh at the horrible direction, writing, and confused actors who look like puppets along for the ride and a paycheck. The scenes with Nick, Jake, and Troy in the latest episode which somehow leads to the death of Jake are completely laughable. Nick is worried about Jake having the image of killing his POS half-brother in his head after he just arranged the genocide of all the people at the ranch, so he beats him in the back of his head knocking him down the side of a cliff where he gets his arm bitten. So they then chop off his arm and he bleeds to death. Troy then struggles to stab his half-brother once he zombiefies even though in the previous scene he was casually suggesting they both kill themselves together. Troy then asks Nick to kill him, and Nick moronically gives this guy a gun and says kill yourself and turns his back on him. Nick essentially killed an innocent for literally no reason and shows no guilt and saved a genocidal maniac, and shows literally no remorse. The writing and all those scenes are just so horribly bad I laughed throughout the whole episode. I don't know how you can put those scenes on paper and at least say "well it looked better in writing".

This is just one scene of many dozens of scenes that is just too dumb on so many levels to ever possibly exist on any plane or alternative reality. Is there anyone that doesn't see these issues? If not, how does this show continue to exist?
