TWD: "Daryl Dixon" spin-off...

Well, that was the most watchable Walking Dead stuff for quite a few years...

Wasn’t expecting to enjoy this series as much as I did. Aside from the usual Daryl plot armor and MZ’s hidden comment above, which I agree with 100%, this one was fun. Norman Reedus did a really great job as Daryl, was never as emotionally connected with the character until this series. Pleasantly surprised. Loved the scenery, score, and the walkers were pretty damn gnarly. Killer ending too!

I really liked that moment where Daryl stumbles across the WW2 cemetery and, albeit quite conveniently all things considered, finds the grave of his grandfather. It was just a nice little moment, and how it was tied-in to his Daryl's father grew up without a Dad and how that impacted him and then trickled down to Daryl's own lack of a proper father figure - which in-turn has affected Daryl in his interactions with Laurent, albeit for the better this time around (although we do see his frustration break out at one point in an earlier episode and you see what Daryl could have turned into if the apocalypse hadn't happened). So yeah, the odd wobble here or there aside, I really enjoyed this spin-off. It's unfortunate it has taken this many spin-offs to actually nail one, but at least we've got there, heh. Roll on season two!!!

Looks like I better sit down to watch this at some point.
