‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’ Episode 6 Review — A Disappointing Season Finale With A Cringey Cameo

I had high—perhaps too high—hopes for Daryl Dixon, mainly because I genuinely like the character and think Norman Reedus, out of all these characters, is a smart choice for a spinoff. But I walk away from the first season and its sixth, and final, episode with nothing but disappointment.

For one thing, I just can’t get over the entire premise of this show. Daryl being in France in the first place just doesn’t work. I don’t believe for a single second that transatlantic ocean travel would be taking place at this point in the apocalypse. Fuel would be too scarce to power a ship. It would be more plausible for them to have fixed up an old galleon or something and sailed across the ocean. Daryl as a sailor on a pirate ship exploring the world might be a cool show. This show? Just far too preposterous to take seriously.
