The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

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.

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 😃!!

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.

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.

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.
