How Daryl Dixon Brought The Walking Dead Back To Life
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon reviews have praised the series for taking the franchise in a new direction. While many have pointed out the show’s similar premise to the 2013 video game The Last of Us – which was adapted by HBO earlier this year – the series still stands on its own. This is because it continues Daryl’s story from the original series while introducing new elements to the zombie apocalypse never before seen in the franchise.
While it’s possible Laurent is immune to the Walker virus, the show instead paints him as a Messiah figure removed from giving the world a possible zombie cure. This is likely because everyone is already infected in The Walking Dead universe, coming back as a zombie whether they’re bitten or not. Instead of trying to save the world, Daryl is simply leading a child to a group that believes he is the Messiah without concrete proof of what he can do.
France is also full of new dangers not seen in the franchise before, such as acidic zombies that burn Daryl’s arm in the first episode. There are also fast zombies Daryl has yet to face, but that were first revealed in a post-credits scene for another spinoff, World Beyond. With a new mission, new dangers, and a new story arc for Daryl to embark upon, it’s unsurprising The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is maintaining a strong, positive reception from critics and viewers alike.
