So, The Walking Dead : Daryl Dixon just concluded its second season as part of the 2024 TV schedule . And I have to say..
.I enjoyed it. Mostly.
I mean, it's hard for me not to, you know? As someone who was a fan of The Walking Dead for nearly its entire run and stayed through until the bitter end with all eleven Walking Dead seasons, I practically feel like these characters are family now. Sometimes you hate them, sometimes you love them, but you can't really get rid of them no matter how hard you try, assuming you're not a brainless chomper. With even more upcoming Walking Dead shows on the way that'll keep expanding this universe, we'll no doubt be meeting plenty of other future victims as the months go by.
But I will say that Season 2 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon had me feeling some way about one character's death—and I don't think I'm alone on this, so let's talk about it. The Overall Season Was A Good Continuation Again, with a series like this, it's tough to mess it up. Daryl was such an integral part of The Walking Dead that anything he touches within that universe is guaranteed to be successful and draw attention, which is what this show has done.
So overall, I did enjoy the season. I think it lost a little bit of its initial glamour of Daryl being suddenly across the world and trying to survive in a new land, but there was still a lot to love here. It really builds on that typical found-family trope, almost reminding me of HBO's The Last of Us in specific ways.
