‘Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’ getting early reviews from critics as the best Walking Dead in years.
I haven't watched TWD since season 7, but the trailer for this spin-off (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTOaFootkSk) really caught my interest.
No need to catch up on all the other seasons to follow the plot? ✅ Focus on one of my favorite characters from the old series? ✅ Cool & different medievalesque post-apocalyptic French setting? ✅
Hoping it's as good as the early reviews suggest.

They're still fucking making walking dead stuff?
I think 2 spinoffs and 3 movies are planned. Things that probably would have still been relevant 10 years ago.
Twd would make for an excellent money laundering front. Idk anyone who is still a twd fan but in 2013 it was on fire, back when companies where selling knives with neon green grips under the illusion that somehow that made them better against zombies.
I don't think you're the target demographic anymore
Most fans, either from the graphic novel or those that watched since day1, have moved on. Long ago. And most cite Neegan's arrival to be the breaking point (although I loved his arrival and watched one more season), but the writing became stale and formulaic. What was once a cool, creepy show about zombies and survial horror became a lazy, uninteresting power struggle among the major factions.
Only ones that watch now are late commers and boomers.
I wonder too. I read all the Walking Dead comics, but stopped following the tv series after season 6 of TWD and season 3 of FTWD. So it's not like I was never part of the demographic.
Basically every season since the farm was almost a rinse and repeat of find new place, these people are nuts, burn it all down and move on to a new villain.
I stopped watching after the whole neegan cliffhanger. I also swore off any show that ended seasons on cliffhangers.
Darryl was probably at least the most human and best acting of the few seasons I watched.
So they took the plot of TLOU? That’s kind of… okay… maybe they’ll make it their own…
First I'm hearing of this and I'm pretty intrigued for the same reasons as you.
I'm really digging the period piece style
Ngl after watching the trailer I’m kinda interested. I dropped off at season 10. It was a great pandemic binge watch but like 10 seasons was already too much. This new show looks interesting though. Like France is somehow involved, the muskets and the show girl? Wtf
