I'm pleasantly surprised with the Level/Quality of this spin off, I'm not just talking about the location, let's be honest, France is a beautiful country geographically, I'm talking about the writing, the characters, actors and crew of this spin off have done excellent so far.
It's inevitable to make a comparison with Dead City (Negan and Maggie spin off), the producers of this show did everything wrong and Daryl Dixon spin off has done everything right, simple that. The plot is interesting (it resembles the last of us) but not the same. Everything has a natural and fluid dialogue, I constantly wonder where the story is going, this has cach me, even the zombies seem to me to help the story a lot.
I will say it once again, the big mistake of the creator of Dead City was resetting the characters of Negan and Maggie, all those tired dialogues, where their relationship is not going anywhere, nor is the spin off. Daryl Dixon was not reset, he was put in a different place where he adapted quickly, as naturally any human being would, this feels very real, and I love it.
Daryl is not my favorite character, but Norman Reedus has outdone himself. Clemence Poesy is an excellent actress, Isabelle is a character that intrigues me, her lies have a hidden purpose. Adam Nagaitis (Quinn), will undoubtedly complicate things and Codron (Romain Levi) will be an enemy to fear, I really like this villain, he is not cartoonish like The Croat/The Dama (Dead City) his personification is really believable.
This spin off has a lot of potential and will be the success of The Walking Dead, bringing back the glory of the first seasons of the main series, why not? We still need to see the wonderful Melissa McBride (Carol), I could bet, this spin off will shine as one of the best along with Rick and Michonne spin off.
I can't wait for where the story of Daryl and his journey through France takes us and for some questions we all have to finally be answered.
10/10.
