Daryl washes ashore in France and struggles to piece together how he got there and why. The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan.
I actually just started watching the original Walking Dead Series about a week ago I'm not a huge zombie fan but I did start the new spinoff Darryl Dixon and I actually think it's better than the original. Just watched the second episode today and it's great I would definitely recommend it even if you haven't seen all the others this series is still worth watching
Daryl Dixon started off better than other Walking Dead spin offs but is let down by unconvincing and at times, downright silly, storytelling.
Whilst this series set the stage nicely for a European take on the WD saga, the second episode demonstrated writing that felt like it was better suited to an episode of "The Famous Five". Episode three is no better, with the whole proposition reduced to a gaudy, side show.
The simple lack of plausibility and realism, the lack of any true sense of desperation, works against any notion that this is a hard nosed, post apocalyptic series, that takes itself seriously.
In summary, the writing needs to get back on track, if this series wants to engage with an adult audience. That said, after three episodes I doubt it will. I'm well and truly out.
