The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

Hope is not lost.

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.

Post-apocalyptic Paris is gay

It was dangerous for me to venture back into the Walking Dead franchise after having abandoned both The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead due to their going woke. And in the third episode of "Daryl Dixon", there is already a drag queen. I get that they were going for a Saddom and Gamora vibe, but it just seems wrong for the zombie apocalypse. Also, Paris in this timeline is not very white; oh, actually that's true in our timeline too.

Before that, nuns defeated zombie-hardened street thugs in pretty much a fair fight that was sometimes hand-to-hand. This hinted that woke writers might have been given this show to run into the ground.

Another thing I don't like is the tired trope of the psychotic thug who wants to chase our hero to the ends of the Earth over a perceived insult, like Ahab after Moby Dick. Because of this and the nuns (and I didn't even mention the functioning kid society), the show comes off as cartoonish. Yes, The Walking Dead was based on a comic, but it was not cartoonish in the first seasons.

And as hard as they try with acid zombies, kid zombies, and so on, zombies have been played out and lost their effect, if you have seen a lot of The Walking Dead.

The IMDB rating of 7.8/10 might not be organic, or it might be from throwing in a drag queen to get automatic 10/10 votes from the alphabet people. I think it deserves a 5/10, which I will round down to 2/5. RIP Walking Dead franchise!
