There was a time when people couldn’t go into a Hot Topic or on Facebook without seeing an “If Daryl Dies, We Riot” meme. The Walking Dead has taken this meme to a whole other level by giving Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) his own spinoff and taking the Disney+ approach by outright naming the series after the character. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon appears as a straightforward move to focus solely on the Southern archer’s journey as a fish out of water in France, but the series is more plentiful than meets the eye.The title is an obvious attempt to take advantage of the beloved character’s popularity. Honed by David Zabel, known for his work as the showrunner of ER for several seasons, Daryl Dixon is produced by some recognizable Walking Dead names (Scott M. Gimple, Angela Kang, Greg Nicotero, and Reedus himself) who understand the gravitas of titling a series with a merchandise-friendly character. Taking place in France, most of the creatives and supporting characters are of European descent to authenticate Daryl’s experience in a foreign country.She and Reedus are supported by a number of characters in side quests, many of whom don’t get the time to develop. The antagonist, Genet, raises the stakes for Daryl, but her purpose for disrupting the peace is barely explored. Genet suffers from being a typical “big bad has big plans for the future of humanity” type of villain, which has plagued The Walking Dead spinoffs for the last few years.
