“The Walking Dead” is, without a doubt, my favorite show of all time. Yet, even as a die-hard fan, I’m the first to admit the flagship series eventually lost its stride, and several of its spinoffs have failed to live up to the legacy left behind by the main show. Unfortunately, “Daryl Dixon” fell into that same familiar trap by the time season 3 rolled around.
“Daryl Dixon” takes the iconic, crossbow-wielding survivor far from home, washing him ashore in a bleak, post-apocalyptic France, which is the very birthplace of the zombie virus. Tasked with protecting and escorting a young boy believed to be the savior of humanity, Daryl must navigate mutated walker variants and hostile local factions in his grueling quest to find a way back to America. It kicked off with immense promise, only to suffer from the franchise's classic issue of being needlessly dragged out.
