Daryl Dixon is a dark miniseries worthy of the protagonist, a lost man seeking a cause greater than himself. The setting in the old world is gothic and depressing, charming and rustic, terrifying and foreboding - watching Daryl trudge through the ruined glories of France, beauty and horror intertwined.
Just like any other Walking Dead show, there are pockets of human survivors with their specific missions, mandates and cultures. One in particular, formed and led by youth, was particularly touching and moving.
There are always megalomaniacs in these series and Genet does not disappoint as a French iron lady determined to build a new French republic, to make the hard decisions. All her motivations are not fully revealed and I hope future seasons continue the thread.
The religious and destiny-driven aspect of the show, combined with the "holy child" Laurent, adds a layer of mystery and wonder. Daryl is the furthest from a believer you can imagine, but he responds to a higher calling. I hope this journey continues to another season. It almost feels like Daryl is on a pilgrimage of redemption and self-discovery, perhaps the path to faith. But the real question is, will he find happiness as has opined two young souls so far?
