The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon continues to work because it puts one of the franchise’s best characters in an unfamiliar situation. But now that his partner in zombie-killing is on the way to his side, that should make things even better.
-
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.
-
The Book of Carol, despite the story's occasionally clunky reshaping, is still a potent, poignant reunion between two Walking Dead favorites. The action is great, the seasonal resolution works, and the final sequence offers clever catharsis.
-
Carol can be an awkward fit into the series at times, but it still lives up to being a show with Daryl and Carol in the title, and for The Walking Dead fans, that’s likely all it needs to be.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
