Season 1 Review:
Hopefulness bears "Daryl Dixon" aloft, to the point that you may pray he doesn't get his wish to go back home. No matter where he is, things are never going to back to the same as before. But this side trip reminds him and us that no matter what disasters befall us, life can be good again.

Season 1 Review:
“Daryl Dixon” is a fun, compelling example of that well-worn story, putting a long-underused icon right in the spotlight amid a novel, unsettling environment. If you were put off by the endless seasons of "The Walking Dead" and desperately want to return to the glory days of Daryl, this might be a good enough excuse to send you shambling back.

Season 1 Review:
The good news is that Daryl Dixon is a considerably more gripping experience than the disappointing Dead City spinoff. [4 - 24 Sep 2023, p.6]

Season 1 Review:
If Daryl Dixon is a glimpse at the types of ambitious swings The Walking Dead franchise is looking to take in its new era, I’m all for it. This is a big, weird story that it’s exciting to see told. It’s easily one of the best Walking Dead things in years (and that’s including the last few years of the original series, too).

Season 1 Review:
The focus that Daryl Dixon puts on character rather than empty spectacle is its greatest asset. It isn’t the richest or most unique of emotional journeys, with many elements still feeling rushed, but at least there is more thought to how it all plays out this time around. While the season's best acting comes from Poésy, Reedus still settles into his gruff role well.

Season 2 Review:
The two besties get back to their ass-kicking ways, trying to defeat Marion, save Laurent, and get back to America all at the same time. How they get there is filled with those usual The Walking Dead frustrations, but it's with our two favorite characters, so we can overlook that. Besides, the finale boasts a twist that sets up another season of Daryl and Carol together.

Season 1 Review:
The best reason to watch Daryl Dixon is not Reedus, as the taciturn title character, but Poésy, who has an uncanny, implacable quality that serves her both in flashbacks, as a grifting, soul-deadened hedonist, and in the present, as a true believer who still keeps both feet on the ground. Isabelle is a deliciously complicated creation, more so than the other survivors and bands of outsiders here, many of whom feel like refugees from similar projects.

Season 1 Review:
As ridiculous as the "Daryl in Paris" logline sounds, is solid as heck. The story is both foreign and familiar, both unsettling and natural. Daryl having misadventures in a land so far away is fun in its own right but then watching him discover that this is where his true heart might belong is a deeper level of delight.

Season 1 Review:
Daryl Dixon is by no means perfect. There are some murky motivations, eyebrow-raising coincidences, and here and there dialogue that is more mystifying than it can possibly have been intended to be. .... Despite my quibbles, I never got to an installment that made me reluctant to watch the one after it.

Season 2 Review:
If you're a diehard, though, The Book of Carol may give you what you want. After all, the show is made for you. If you're looking for classic-style Walking Dead, with Carol and Daryl camaraderie, creative kills and zombie action, and #TWDFamily, you'll find it. But you won't get anything more.
