A series on Dixon gives Walking Dead a little more focus without the somewhat dreary dialog that sometimes fills a few episodes. But what is with their take on France? Do Americans really think that old muskets and Napoleonic pistols is all that Europeans have at hand for the Apocalypse? You do know that Glock is an Austrian company, right? Or that everyone is happy to talk English to Americans? I thought the French would have had enough of American tourists with zero language skills to have killed Dixon on the spot....but back to the series: it has a nice flow, some new zombie types and all in all better than expected if somewhat flawed around the edges.

What started as a character created by the show runners turned out to be a character favorite throughout all tv shows i've watched, He's badass and i couldn't have predicted the impact Daryl Dixon would have on all of us. Years later he now has a spin-off and it's so good, The best TWD spin-off so far. The cinematic shots are great, The acting is great and for sure the plot is great. The show is based in France and i can tell this was a great move! The French actors are great and you can just tell the chemistry on set was good, Cause where watchers of the main tv show were used to the bad acting at the end of the show, It now has definitely revived itself. Props to the show writers of the Daryl Dixon spin-off and hopefully we get more of this!

The Walking Dead: Darryl Dixon has absolutely lived up to all the hype. Like most, Darryl was one of my favorite characters from the original show so I've been looking forward to this. It didn't disappoint. This follows the story of fan favorite Darryl Dixon as he travels across the ocean to France. There he's put in charge of protecting a young boy who's thought to be the savior for humanity. Between this, Dead City and The Ones Who Live, The Walking Dead is back and as good as ever. This reminds me of the early seasons of the original where you couldn't wait until the next episode instead of just watching because you put so much time into it and wanted to see what happens but it almost felt like a chore. This show has refreshed a franchise many thought was on its last leg and a show where it can get a few years of being really exciting.

I had no much hope for this due to the previous TWD seasons, but I was surprised! Whoever came up with the settings in France knew what they doing. It works so well for Daryl and gives a new fresh aura to the show. The pace is good, things actually happen. The cast is good enough, especially Isabella, she seems like a real woman not just a one dimensional character.

It does resembles a bit to The Last of Us plot and I was taken aback by that but it still works. I hope they turn this into a different direction in the following seasons. I'm looking forward Season 2.

Overall they invested in Daryl and it paid off.

I wasn't so hyped about this series, but I had my curiosity piqued. The initial vibes of the show reminded me more of "Black Sails" than "The Walking Dead." It's definitely a departure from what other series in the franchise have attempted. The first episode showed a lot of promise. The previous addition to the "Walking Dead" universe, "Dead City," felt more like those character development or filler episodes you'd find in TWD. It was still good in my opinion, though.

However, this new series seemed like it could stand on its own. People already debating whether it's the best spinoff yet, while others claim the opposite. That's the usual pattern with big TWD spinoffs. I haven't watched "The World Beyond," but I've seen the rest. It's too early to say if this surpasses the other spin-offs, but it's undeniably different, especially with its French setting and accents, with Derek being the only link to the parent show.

I wasn't exactly thrilled, but definitely intrigued to see where they'd take the show. "Dead City" attempted something new but had too many familiar faces and connections, making it feel like a natural extension of the original TWD. This new series has the potential to be genuinely fresh, which might lead to mixed reactions. Some folks want the old TWD back, while others are eager for new adventures.

The new setting feels like a fresh beginning, reminiscent of the early days of the zombie apocalypse, especially with the flashbacks by the second episode. It's as if they're rebooting the franchise in the first half of the season due to the drastically different setting. It gives me a similar vibe to "Fear the Walking Dead," exploring the zombie apocalypse in other parts of the world, except that this one is in France.

My main gripe so far is that it feels soooo convenient for Daryl to run into so many English speakers.

By episode 4, it's starting to resemble the typical "Walking Dead" formula. They're using a mid-season episode to explain events that already happened but weren't clarified earlier, like Daryl's journey. Episode 5 brings some good dialogues, particularly about war and its causes, and the reminder that life's not fair.

The story's direction becomes evident mid season. It's all leading to Daryl facing a dilemma-whether to head back to the TWD family or stay and fight for a new cause.

Initially, it seemed like a breath of fresh air for a franchise some felt had overstayed its welcome. However, by the end of season 1, it reverts to the same aura as the latter seasons of the parent show. While it has its highlights, it's not bad, but it's pretty run-of-the-mill overall.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

If you're a Walking Dead fan, Daryl Dixon is an absolute must-watch. This series takes everything we love about Daryl-his survival instincts, loyalty, and heart-and throws him into an entirely new world in France. The setting adds a fresh, eerie atmosphere, with hauntingly beautiful landscapes and intense action.

Norman Reedus absolutely shines, bringing even more depth to Daryl's character. His interactions with the new cast, especially Isabelle and Laurent, add emotional weight to the story. The show keeps the TWD spirit alive while feeling fresh and unpredictable. The action is top-notch, the story is gripping, and the French undead are terrifying in a whole new way.

Season 2 can't come soon enough, and I'm beyond excited for Season 3! Norman Reedus continues to prove why Daryl is one of the best characters in The Walking Dead universe. This show is everything I hoped for and more!

This is just ok, it could of been made better, there are just too many badly made scenes, some of it works, half of it doesn't, there was a scene where 2 guys try grab a girl and she falls from the castle wall, but the wall was up to her waist, there was no way she could of just easily fallen over it, another reviewer mentioned Daryl cooks fish without gutting it , drinks sea water, its these inaccuracies that most people dont notice , i think its a show mostly for stupid people who notice nothing. Or kids. Its a shame because the characters are good , i wasnt too keen on the rick show either, the original early seasons are the best.

I sighed before writing this because what is there to say?! In the TWD universe there has been AT LEAST one nuclear explosion. Nowhere else other than in FTWD has seemed to notice.

Anyway, France is notorious for its fondness for nuclear energy, yet no sign of any disruption there.

This isn't the most ludicrous thing about the show though. No, that is that there are still travel routes between America and Europe just to ship zombies around???

Anyway, forget that nonsense, and that not only Daryl but also Carol can end up in the same place in the absolute vastness of France. Also forget that everyone can shoot zombies in the head from a mile away, but not anyone exposed in an open jeep. . AND, my favourite crime, Daryl forsaking the only horse for a few walkers. Whatever.

I still enjoyed this. Utter tosh, but still grand.

Bring on season three!

One of the best masterpiece created by both science and fiction keepin me on edge as it is packed with jaw dropping elements and reality of post eclipse of the walking dead ,The experience of best quality gives the best thrills and to want more of the next episodes ,The way peaple turn on themselves after a disaster gives a perfect reflection of reality as peaple tend to lose hope and panic making rational decisions as seen on the walking dead ,this must be one of the best fiction series yet to be made giving ana insight of what can happen after the appearance of the walking dead on the planet.

The high ratings and glowing reviews, promoted to the top of the results, exemplify all that is wrong with current fandoms. The fans of an IP are so slavishly devoted to their parasocial relationship with a show/game/movie/book that any criticism of that property is felt as a personal attack and, as such, generates a vociferous defence.

Daryl Dixon, while being an interesting character, has been abused by the writing staff for years and finally pummelled into what we are given in this show: a bland, one-note character that looks the same, says the same old things and performs the same old actions.

To make the character stand out, he is surrounded by idiots acting in idiotic ways. We are expected to believe that these people have survived decades of a zombie apocalypse and then act in the dumbest ways imaginable.

Every egregiously stupid action performed is unnecessary - dozens of alternatives that hit the same story beats exist for each scenario, but in this show the writers have chosen the laziest, tropiest and most idiotic options that it boggles the mind as to how people watching aren't all suffering from vertigo from the constant eye-rolling.

And yet, the fandom laps it up. People wonder why so much dreck is produced these days, and it is because these fandoms accept existence over quality. We need to hold our entertainment to a higher standard and only then will there once again be a drive to produce quality art instead of just producing... something.

There was real potential for this show, a true chance to try something different and elevate the artform. With so many spinoffs it should have been possible to tell interesting stories in interesting ways, to generate some new styles and flavours to complement the existing offerings.

But instead we are given the same dull grey gruel and it is only delusion that makes some think they are eating a delectable ice cream sundae.

I was a bit weary coming into The Walking Dead: Darryl Dixon because of how hit or miss the original and Fear the Walking Dead have been over the last few seasons. Then I saw The Walking Dead: Dead City and got excited again because I really enjoyed that a lot more than I thought I would. The trailers for this didn't give away too much but just enough to get people excited. Like many have said this story is a lot like The Last of Us where a man has to travel with a really important kid across the country and dealing with a bunch of dangerous situations, both alive and dead. Darryl is still the star and biggest reason to watch but the new supporting characters are also interesting enough to tune in. Norman Reedus does such an excellent job as Darryl.

I have a love / hate relationship with The Walking Dead universe - mostly hate when it comes to the spinoffs though. Fear is easily one of the worst scripted television shows of all time (especially everything after season 4). World Beyond had some interesting ideas but didn't deliver on any of them, and many of the characters were absolutely insufferable. Tales was both good and bad, a nice break from the standard Walking Dead formula that wasn't afraid to play around with bold new ideas - some of those ideas were great while some were downright awful. And Dead City had it's moments, though ultimately I ended up not liking it that much.

Given all that, I expected the eponymous Daryl Dixon spinoff to be garbage - especially since Daryl is somewhat of a boring character on his own (sorry Daryl fans, but it's true). So far though, this is off to a much better start than I expected.

The premiere episode did a whole lot of work setting up this new environment and the characters within it, and it did most of it very well. There's some intrigue baked into this right from the start, with questions about how Daryl ended up all the way in France and how he's going to manage to get home (or even *if* he'll manage it). On top of that, the first episode does a good job laying down a clear outline of where this season intends to take us - giving clear goals and motivations for all of the characters. Daryl has fallen in with a couple of nuns who have tasked him with escorting a young man up to the north of France. Meanwhile he's being hunted by an angry Frenchman out for revenge for Daryl killing his brother, as well as a mysterious group of people who apparently have something to do with Daryl finding himself in France - and, interestingly, appear to be performing some kind of experiments with walkers.

The only criticisms I have are minor thus far. First of all, the initial fight Daryl gets into with the walkers seemed quite contrived. There's no way Daryl would have been so sloppy and stupid as he was in that fight. I understand they're eager to introduce these new walkers and they need to wound Daryl so he'll end up at the convent at some point to be healed - but still, it just wasn't believable for his character to have been so incredibly sloppy in that encounter. Secondly, I am somewhat concerned about the direction they're clearly going with this... a gruff older man begrudgingly accepts a task to escort a teenager on a cross country journey with the promise that this teenager is "special" and will "save the world" - this all sounds very much like the plot of The Last of Us - and while I can admit this was a good premiere episode, it doesn't even hold a candle to The Last of Us (and it also marks at *least* the second time a Walking Dead spinoff has directly ripped off details from The Last of Us - the first being the Rat King in Dead City).

Anyway, if nothing else, I am at least intrigued to see where this goes. I really hope it doesn't fall victim to the awful writing that destroyed Fear though.

I always like the Daryl character a lot. I think I liked him because he can convey a lot without having to actually speak, which as an introvert, too much talk is overwhelming. I always saw the character more as a lone wolf with a good heart who has a hard time connecting so having him have his own series seems to work well.

I liked: That he was alone and unafraid, that he has a potential love interest and that he's kicking butt in France. I like that the walkers are somehow advanced and evolved. I like the Character of Isabelle.

I didn't like: There seems to be a re-occurring theme of characters from TWD being pursued by bad guys with guns, who go onto some monologue about getting revenge for whatever reason and frankly I'm bored with it, there was an apocalypse that created zombies and still there are bad person leaders with disciples that are willing to sacrifice themselves for whoever that person is? And I'm so sick of the whole James Bond elaborate death's that our characters can get of easily. It's stupid at this point and I'm tired of our characters getting a lecture at gunpoint.

I don't even know why exactly the bad guys are after Daryl, I must have missed that one.

And finally, like most of the child actors that TWD have chosen, this on is annoying. I don't even like his name or how those with French accents pronounce it.

My enjoyment of how Norman Reedus plays the character is what keeps me going. The writing isn't that great, but it's better than the Maggie/Negan continuance and with the promise of the return of Carol, I'm giving this a 7 for now.

In conclusion, *The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon* (2023) is a remarkable addition to the franchise that successfully combines horror with rich storytelling and character development. With Norman Reedus at the helm, this series captures the essence of what made *The Walking Dead* a cultural phenomenon while forging its unique path.

Fans of the original series will find much to love in this new installment, while newcomers will be drawn in by its engaging plot and relatable characters. As Daryl navigates this perilous world filled with both monsters and moral complexities, viewers are treated to an unforgettable experience that leaves them eagerly anticipating what lies ahead.

Overall, *Daryl Dixon* stands out as a testament to resilience and hope in a world fraught with danger-an exhilarating ride that horror fans will not want to miss.

Its walking dead, but in FRANCE Viewed and written by Americans.

So lets put at most French things we can thinks about. When French are sad, they sing ''A la claire fontaine, while playing guitare'' .

Daryl only goal is to get back to America, so he goes to Paris, wich is in the middle, no where near any coast. Because we needed that great shot with the Eifel Tower.

Lets put a Cabaret style Moulin Rouge in there, because French still do like that right?

Daryl will look for radio the whole time but the only thing french know how to operate is pigeons. IOts so french, we love it.

The show is still good. A bit easy with the plot armor, as all walking dead goes. But can they stop with the french cliché ?

There has only been one episode of the series so far, but damn it was good, and I can see how the shows going to turn out. When this show was announced I thought it would be terrible, keying on how the original show The Walking Dead died down after about 7 seasons, (but did have a good end) and most spin offs were either okay or just bad. But maybe this is a new beginning for TWD universe. Norman Redus plays his role amazing, and I think that Daryl is just such an interesting character. The comics did not even have Daryl Dixon, so I hope this show tells us all we missed in The Walking Dead. I really can't wait for this show to unfold 😃!!

From a casual watcher to a diehard fan, everybody knows The Walking Dead gained a reputation of dipping In quality at the start of season 7 and started to pick up a little before the main show bowed out. Fear the walking dead has followed suit. These shows have been on for years yet both shows first few seasons are loved. This is a spin off but a fresh look into the apocalypse across the pond. The cinematography, the world, even the story feels different as we follow a familiar character in unknown waters. The characters are realistic and interesting. The walkers took a slight back seat in the first episode but the interactions kept you entertained. This is the premiere episode of a first season, yes its a spin off but its also its own thing. Dead city relied on the story they built between Maggie and negan to keep you entertained, yet this feels like it's trying to build a new path of its own. Will it all connect together in the end and bring the characters we love back together, who knows! (Probably not) but enjoy it for what it is. A zombie show in a unknown territory with some awesome weaponry. It's a money maker, the same as most franchises, they keep making them because people want to watch them and keep watching them. If you don't like the walking dead or your not happy about these spin offs, plain and simple don't watch them, but don't trash them or the people that actually do enjoy them!

I've only started this series but I like it so far. There's new zombies that burn called burners so that's cool. There's one scene where this conductor tied zombies to their instruments and made a zombie band. Kinda unrealistic ik but I can't talk because I'm watching a show about zombies, lol.

The only thing I noticed is I don't feel anything for these characters. They introduce a boy who's supposed to be the messiah which he isn't, but that wouldn't matter, it's the French nun who's actually a thief and a prostitute but she she's pretending to be a nun. I'm sure that's some Mary Magdalene nod.

Anyway I just want to watch Daryl kill walkers so it's whatever. I remember how I felt about the Atlanta group in TWD and then the ones that they picked up along the way and I legit cared about these people. Do you know what I mean? I know they're fiction, it's a show but I got so attatched to Glen, Maggie, Rick, Hershel etc. And I don't feel that towards these French people. Maybe it's an American thing.

Daryl is more fierce in this and i like that. Will come back and update when i finish it.
