Daryl’s “Bon Appétit” had me laugh so hard 😂😂

Daryl gets to France and within 2 days, becomes the most hunted man in France by all the bad guys. That is some superpower he has. lol

the fact they got Dominique Pinon on this show, loved him in the 90s in alien resurrection, such an underrated actor. how they managed to make him a dwarf character was simply astonishing. hats off to seeing him again in 2023, keep on going good sire.

I’m loving this show. The chemistry between Norman and Clemence is amazing and I worry every week that she will die. Hope she escapes and is a big part of the franchise going forward.

I miss the crossbow, but I love Daryl's new spike ball!!😄⛓⚙

This show has no right to be this good!

Love this show!! Best spin off TWD show by far! Thanks for covering this. Look forward to next weeks recap!

It was clear that Daryl was having a dream. Laurent isn’t immune, otherwise that horde of zombies would have ignored him.

Rest in peace Father of Pigeons! Loved seeing Dominique Pinon in this. Shame his role was so short lived. Anyone familiar with Jean Pierre Jeunet’s work will know Pinon from movies such as Delicatessen, City of Lost Children and, possibly best known, Amélie.

What I think would be cool if all kids born after zombie outbreak were immune. Remember, all of people are technically infected (that's why they resurrect after death), so the mother should pass this infection to her child, but what if said child also develops immunity to it? And the immunity is to bite, by the way, cause we sea at Eiffel tower that walker clearly trying to eat Laurent. Have we ever saw kid born after outbreak resurrected as walker? They all are immune...

Stabs a guy 5 times in the abdomen with a rusty ice pick and he immediately starts bleeding out yet he's fine to "take him with us" on an adventure. Yeah that's believable lmao. Doesn't ANYONE making this show ever say "now hold on a minute, this is dumb"

I am loving this spin off. The development of the story is very enticing. Looking forward to watching the next remaining episodes. 6 is not enough.

This trailer sleuth clinches it! Isabelle dies. THAT explains Daryl embracing the boy, it explains Daryl and Laurent at the grave, Daryl holding a shovel, and a small pile of jewelry at their feet. I think that Isabelle tries to kill Quinn. He kills her instead. Daryl kills him, takes Laurent, buries Isabelle, and decides to remain in France to care for the boy. He sends for Carol to come and help him. THAT explains the last episode's title "Coming Home". The only reason I think Daryl stays in France is because the second season is being filmed IN France. The other possibilities are that Codron kills Isabelle. An alternative possibility is that it is not Isabelle that is killed, but Sylvie. Sylvie was billed as one of the main characters, and yet she has had little to no character development... maybe she's the "Red Shirt" in this series... but I tend to doubt it. That little pile of jewelry at the gravesite HAS to be Isabelle's! UNLESS it's Annie that's killed. Either way, whoever is in that grave, is female.

My only issue about most of these shows. The main series where it started the walkers(zombies) were naturally breaking down. We should by this point in time really see very few walkers. The reality of just the world being so empty now should begin to set in. Those who had survived unless enough food is made would just keep dwindling down. Which I understand the point of the show more so is the walkers and surviving. I understand Europe had a different version of the walker, but still it shouldn't stop decay. Thus we should see about a few here and there, but no more hordes any more.

The small Statue of Liberty was cool

Really enjoying this. I like your descriptions of events, an what the future plots may be.

1:23 I took this as he was dreaming / hallucinating in the water

Umm, that "replica" of the Statue Of Liberty is the ORIGINAL model used to build the actual statue in New York. In other words, its not a replica.

Needed this

Thanks for your insights

I love this spin off. The writing, the characters and location make is so good.

The pigeon love line was what got my "like" this week haha

Good episode but definitely felt like the weakest one so far felt like the wanted to advance the story but not to much which is kinda of weird for a six episode season! Daryl really said bon appetite

I'm digging it!

I think the boy is special because he’s immuned because when he was born his mom was a zombie so idk if her blood went in him and made him immuned but just a prediction 😂 ohh wait you said it to 😂

That first scene was a dream sequence

There is no way the walkers wouldn't hear Daryl screaming and shaking the gate... Laraunt simply holds his head down "zombies dumbfounded"... but later in the episode Laraunt is hiding legit and a zombie spots him WHAT. Also the Eiffel tower kinda looks overdamaged/silly for 12 years after the outbreak is that even possible?

Do "The Interview with The Vampire" Tv show. It's a really good show and a lot of youtube overlooking and not many people doing explain or breakdown. Trust me it's really good show.

I definitely think you're kinda reaching with the intro scene being a flash forward. Personally, it seems pretty clear that it's meant to be a sort of dream since, like you said, we said Daryl waking up immediately after. Seems like it's moreso meant to be symbolism with Laurent praying his way out of being bitten but then still walking away from Daryl; maybe referencing Daryl's overall lack of faith in religion which is already a big focus of the series so far

Been a great series

Watching the Laurent praying scene, I immediately came to a new conclusion about the Walker/Living relationship. Provided that scene is a real event, his immunity would be in his blood. Walkers aren't attacking him because his blood does not have the virus in it. Therefore, Walkers are attracted to the blood of the living. The infected blood that is. It makes sense when you think of an organism, such as a virus, trying to replicate and survive. The virus infecting Walkers wants to replicate. Hence, the Walkers craving to bite people. It's attracted to the blood, knowing that said blood in the living is infected, and will result in its subject turning into a Walker, or spreading the virus.

The show has been stunning so far

Even if Laurant was immune, he's not immune to get ripped apart by the walkers.

Yay! Daddy loves us again!!

Daryl looks like he was bit in water scene???

Is the last walker that turned around at 5:20 is the same one that lunged at Laurent under the sheet metal?

I wish I can watch it now❤

in this episode I found a change in backdrop. when the french lady and Daryl. Are interrogating the 1 bandit that was alive the first two pans to bandit. I seen to the left and over his head a State of Georgia Map. And above his head the tails of a hanging american Flag. As if it were a police station or class room.

Don't forget Pigeon Man from Hey Arnold!! Hehe

so far the Darly Dixon episodes is so good to watch than the fear twd season 4-6 hahaha

the beginning scene is a “deus ex machina” a divine intervention which changes the course of the story for Daryl this symbolizes his choice in the path of faith for the spectator it is the same thing for you to believe or not to believe in the prophecy like Daryl if you follow the signs of "The Lady" you will understand everything

That Darryl story was Negan's Piglet story.

It's just a thought but I feel like we will see Negan and the Commonwealth shortly

Стоп. Это че, Лукерья Ильяшенко в Ходячих Мертвецах?! Чеееееее. Как она туда попала?! 😮

Im wondering since the nuns kept the priest around after he turned did they also keep Lizzie around to?

We just need a kyokushion kicking master like Van Damme in a Zombie movie, game, or series 🤔

I think Quinn and Codron will end up joining Daryl’s crew in the fight against Genet. We’ve seen it before with the Woodbury citizens after Governor’s death, the Kingdom, Negan, Whisperers, all of it. Enemies become allies when a bigger threat exists, and Genet is the biggest threat.

After having my way through TWD and the spin-offs I gotta say I REALLY DIG THE SERIES !

Did Daryl lie when he said "I made it all up." I think it WAS a lie. Daryl did not make it up, he remembered his own childhood.Here's what we know: Daryl and Merle's parents were neglectful or violent and alcoholic.The dialogue between Daryl and Merle, when we saw his scars in Season 2 of TOS: "I... I didn't know!" "Yeah you did! He hit you, too. S'why you left!" "I had to! I woulda killed him!"And his mother: (to Carl) "My Mom liked her cigarettes, and her wine..." And she died in bed in a house fire, presumably drunk or asleep. And in TWD:DD S1E1 we have [camera closeup of Daryl's back with old clusters of burns along with the scars] "My Daddy was a smoker." Now... being lashed with a belt (presumably the cause of the long crisscrossing scars we saw before) might be done out of anger or drunken rage... but deliberate clustered cigarette burns (on the nape of his neck and mid-back) is not anger... it's torture! Add to this Daryl's story about the father buying the son "Jimmy" a pet piglet... and then forcing the child to KILL that pet...Add to that Daryl's comment that "Jimmy's" father was "A drunk. In fact I don't remember ever seein' him sober." That "Jimmy" was small and so was picked on by the other kids, followed by Daryl's bitterly 'triumphant "They never f---ed with Jimmy again" and it REALLY sounds as if he was recounting what happened to HIM as a child. A father who would methodically and deliberately and REPEATEDLY apply a burning cigarette to a child's back WOULD command that same child to kill a devoted piglet! This accounts for Daryl's capacity for violence. I think Merle tried his best to 'toughen Daryl up' because he KNEW his younger brother ("Daryl always was the sweet one.") wouldn't be able to cope with their father's rages. He went about it in the only way HE knew. This casts Me5rle in the same tragic light as Daryl. he, too, was tortured! But, not knowing HOW to nurture or care for... Merle could only try to "build calluses" on his baby brother. It worked to some extent, but Daryl, instead of exploding outward, curled all the pain and anger, fear and resentment in on himself. he, like Merle, did not know or understand any other way. When Beth died, Daryl went out into the woods, sat down and... applied a burning cigarette to his hand! NOW we know why!

since the beginning of the series Daryl follows the path of " la Dame" the Lady to Lourdes his journey follows the pilgrimage routes of Lourdes. in 1858 a 14 year old girl saw the Virgin Mary 18 times she revealed to him 5 prophecies. All came true in real life except the last one which is in the process of coming true

you failed to mention who plays the pigeon man. you might know him from every jean-pierre jeunet movie. and from alien ressurection

I'm a bit off about having an immune kid in Walking Dead. Robert Kirkmin expressed that he didn't want there to be a person who was immune, and having this feels like it's just playing along with all the other zombie series currently, like The Last of Us. I liked the idea that the world was doomed and everyone had to find a way to make a new world from it, though now that the chance of a cure or something is being brought up, it just kinda makes all off. At least that's what I think. If they're able to make it work, then I'll gladly be fine with it.

Wasn't Judith Born the same way though. The only difference was she was born in the prison during the time when everybody was off killing a bunch of walkers. Lori had to have a c-section, had the baby then killed his mom afterwards

I think it was a dream and the immunity theory doesn't make sense considering the zombies tried to kill him when he was at the tower

As far as the statue of liberty is concerned, it's exactly the other way around : the French gave it as a present to the Americans.

at the trailer dayrl hits rick maeby he will apper in ep5

Well, it's a cliche, but there's a reason it's cliche... I think that Daryl will be captured (of course! EVERYBODY captures Daryl!) by the cause. Eager to show off the new zombie variant, Genet will hold a 'victory celebration' and a public presentation. Quinn and Isabelle will be invited. They do not know that Daryl has been captured. Genet will brag about how they have triumphed. They now have "remote control" zombies to defeat their enemies and their enemies will pay. At which point, Daryl will be shoved into the fight pit along with ol Needleneck, the zombie. Isabelle will be horrified, but will be unable to help Daryl. She will attack Quinn, believing (possibly true) that Quinn somehow had a hand in this. OR she'll try to attack Genet or Codron or... whatever, whoever. If she attacks Codron, Daryl and he will battle, setting him up as the Uber Villain to be fought in season 2. Now either Daryl defeats the zombie, OR he escapes and somebody (possibly Isabelle) falls into the pit and gets bitten. Enter Laurent! He will see whoever it is get bitten. Daryl will comfort him. Daryl will have to 'dispatch' the bitten person before they turn. They then bury Isabelle (the pile of jewelry at their feet near the gravesite proves to me that it's Isabelle who dies. Daryl knows that Laurent is alone, now. Possibly Quinn also dies in the big fight. Daryl tells Laurent that he will take care of him because he had promised Isabelle he would. That's when he sends for Carol. In the final episode, Daryl sends for Carol and agrees to stay with the Union of Hope to try to fight the Cause, and raise Laurent. Season 2 will be the Union versus the Cause.

yay!!!!! Daddy loves you very much lol againnnn

I think it has been GREAT so far but I want a clue on where Rick is!

What about Mike Tyson as of 4 pigeons???

Maybe Laurent needs to be bitten to go invisible to zombies.

I don't think it was a flash-forward. I think it was just a dream/hallucination.

I am kind of frustrated that the zombies now are kinda background characters. The effects are bad (masks) and although I want to watch this series, it hasn't got me yet. I wish they would try harder.

Did Daryl get bit under water or what?

Something tells me Madame Genet is going to have Daryl fight the mutated zombie to death and he’s only going to embarrass her.

You cant go unconscious for falling in to a water from a roof top.

Ok I just binged 4 episodes of this show and all I wanna know right now…WHATS UP WITH THESE ACID BLOOD WALKERS?!?

Then why'd you leave me daaaaddd 😂

wasnt this the disabled guy from Alien Resurrection?

I don’t like how they are making Laurent is made out to be basically a God.

Laurent smells like a walker to walkers, so they ignore him (like wearing walker guts). It has nothing to do with immunity. I bet that if he gets bit, he'll die/turn like anyone else.

didn't he get bit in the foot? am i trippin?

Damn Darryl was gangster with it. And I’m surprised they’re doing well with this series because the other spin offs and walking dead itself was kind of ass. Dead city is cool though.

The beginning was clearly a dream. Not remotely close to a flash forward.

So I’m a WD burnout who stopped watching around season 6 of TOS. These recaps are better than watching as I don’t have the attention span for it. Thanks.

Had to stop watching the original walking dead after "Lucile" was introduced into the series. It just got too disturbing after that. I hope this one doesn't pass that threshold, but we'll see. So far it's pretty good.

It doesn't *FEEL* like TWD honestly.....

The episode wasn't great, and you actually can kinda see that opposition between religion (Laurent) and authority (Genet), while in reality Genet would probably use Laurent to straighten approval among people...

I really really dont like france , but i accept it for this show😂 i always laugh when french people get angry

Hear me out…. I’m getting real Ellie vibes from the last of us vibes with Laurent.. what if they want to use his blood for a cure and uhhhh you know….. 👀😳 Daryl won’t let that happen, aka Joel from last of us

I still think dead city was better but the daryl show is growing on me.. the first 2 episodes didn't impress me any really.. but the last 2 were pretty good

Ahsoka too. These 6 episode shows are NOT it. 8 minimum 10 should be normal for shows that are going to be multiple seasons

Im sorry but Darryl looked kinda stupid twirling that mini mace and slamming it into the faces of waiting zombies

Am I the only one who thinks it’s a litttttle too coincidental that this child, with “immunity” who was born while his mother was bitten, reminds me of the entirety of the last of us???

... now in Europe 😂. What a long pull 😅😅😅

Dickriders will disagree, but we are now 4 episodes into a 6 episode spinoff and we have no better explanation for how Daryl ended up on an entirely different continent other than “Yo bro he was on a research vessel that exploded and nobody knows how it happened.” Not sure what effect AMC is going for with tiptoeing around fully introducing the CRM, but it’s just getting annoying at this point. It’s even more frustrating that this spin-off didn’t need to happen in the first place; I don’t need further Daryl development to justify the Rick/Michonne spin-off. Daryl’s character would’ve met a completely satisfying end for me after saving Judith in the main story. This has just been four episodes of fluff and more forgettable characters. I’ll watch it, but it bores me.

We all watching the same shows or something?? 😂😂

The Dude didn’t tell the real truth about why the statute of liberty was given to America and why they had to reconstruct the face of the statue but anyway it’s about the walking dead 😆

We got a daddy loves you very much🫶

I don't trust that kid.

I don’t know I think Quinn wanted to get Lily to hospital get Isabelle somewhere safe then go back for Lily and probably run off with her

The writing is still shite. There's zero character development. We need all this fleshing out. The best thing we saw was the nun in her former life. I still don't care about characters

Daryl Dixon writers trying their best to copy TLoU line for line, bar for bar.

this is just the last of us i really was hyped for this show but due to the actress that plays carol backing out because she didnt want to get the vaccine they had to rewrite and change the story for the worst. and then the stupid pigeon guy was so fucking stupid he was almost as dumb as the kid characters. how hard is it to write younger characters they all just end up being like pan from dragonball gt

Just a rip off of the last of us lol

Kid is cringe 😬😬

The show is boring and terrible

you are only covering the truly terrible waste of time television and movies this past two years, and it's a stone cold bummer, guess it works for your 600k audience, but blech

Sounds like some bullshit let it go
