Season 2 Review: Her [Carol] and Daryl’s paths run parallel until about midway through the six-episode season, which is blessedly expedient as such stories go. By then, the meaning of what worked so well in Season 1 begins to fall apart. Read full review

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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As with any franchise, from Subway to Pret, the sameness is the point. Daryl’s branch is as good a place to hang out as any. Read full review

Season 1 Review: "Daryl Dixon" expands the geographic contours of the map, but it doesn't add much to its underlying blueprint. Read full review

Season 1 Review: AMC’s spin-off is capable enough, and the French setting provides a somewhat distinct feel... As a whole, however, Daryl Dixon could use a little more panache. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Daryl Dixon gives the character new accessories and new counterparts, but it doesn’t change the formula of the narrative he has been stuck in for years. This ride may be different, but The Walking Dead franchise is still spinning its wheels. Read full review

The A.V. ClubJarrod JonesSep 5, 2023
Season 1 Review: AMC is right to worry about this upstart horror series cannibalizing its accolades and ratings. Especially if it keeps churning out puzzling dross like Daryl Dixon. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Ultimately, Daryl Dixon Season 3 runs in place until a laugh-out-loud twist reveals how the series will keep the best friends from getting home anytime soon. Read full review

LooperCynthia VinneySep 23, 2024
Season 2 Review: This season is not as exciting as the first, even with the addition of Carol. Too many times scenarios are too familiar, either because they feel like rehashes of last season or re-dos of something from another "Walking Dead" show. Read full review
