Only two episodes into “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,” and fans are raving about this Norman Reedus-led spin-off. Comparing it to some of the franchise’s most beloved chapters, like the first season of the original show and Season 3 of “Fear the Walking Dead,” viewers have taken to Reddit to express their excitement, describing the latest series as “amazing” and “special.”
Set after the events of “The Walking Dead” Season 11, “Daryl Dixon” begins with the survivor washing up on a Marseille beach and embarking on a mission to transport a young French boy, Laurent, believed to be a super-empathetic messiah, to a secret location in Northern France. With the help of Sister Isabelle, Daryl faces new threats, including unique zombies, a dubious nightclub owner, and a power-hungry political leader.
Reddit users have praised the series, with one fan comparing it to the quality of the earlier seasons and saying it “reminds me so much of ‘TWD Season 1.'” Others have called it “fantastic” and “the best thing from TWD in a long time,” noting that it breathes new life into the franchise. While some viewers appreciated the show’s quality, a few mentioned Daryl’s plot armor as a minor concern.
“The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” airs on AMC and AMC Plus in the US, offering fans a fresh take on the TWD universe.
