After a capsized Daryl Dixon washes ashore in France, he struggles to piece together how he got there and why. His arrival in France raises the ire of leaders within an autocratic movement centered in Paris, and endangers a young boy at the heart of a benevolent religious movement called the Union of Hope. Daryl agrees to shepherd the child and his caretakers on their pilgrimage to the Nest, a sanctuary that promises safety, in return for the Union's help securing him passage back to America. The series tracks Daryl's journey, fighting his way through the unique Walker strains and provincial violence of France. Along the way, Daryl finds his desire to return home complicated by the new connections he forms and the renewed sense of hope these relationships give him. Meanwhile, back in America, Carol Peletier's search for Daryl forces her to confront old trauma, as she enlists a new ally under false pretenses to help her.

Critics Consensus

Bringing Carol back into the fold cuts into some of the elements that made this Walking Dead spinoff unique, but having Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride sharing the screen again will always be an undead treat.

The transatlantic shift worked the first time, putting Daryl in a different scenario, landscape and headspace, but now adding his long-time friend and comrade, Carol Peletier, to the story actually pulls the show back to a familiar dynamic.

In essence, “The Book of Carol” lacks the layered heft those who were pleasantly surprised by the previous chapter might have expected.

When it comes to the world of The Walking Dead, these characters are better together.

Once, The Walking Dead was engaging, sometimes unpredictable, and often heartfelt, capable of delivering devastating blows. But now, it’s more lifeless than its zombies.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon continues to work because it puts one of the franchise’s best characters in an unfamiliar situation.

With Carol's return also returns some of the issues that made the original Walking Dead tough to endure. Still, it's undeniably thrilling to see Daryl and Carol back together again, to see this spin-off become the show it was always supposed to be.

Demasiados sin sentidos, a los protagonistas les disparan como stormtroopers borrachos, se salvan por casualidades son sentido y les pelean de a turnos como si fuera una película de Steven seagal

While season 1 was passable, season 2 fell off a cliff, especially as the season went on. They ignored the plot points they set up and just kept killing off villain, only to be replaced by a dumber villain. Over and over. Character motivations and personalities seemed to change for little to no reason. Choreography of fights was laughable. Dialogue was predictable and stupid. They did the "oh no a character is about to be killed" followed by the "oh phew someone came to shoot the bad guy at the last second" about 30 times. By the finale I was just laughing at how stupid it was and stopped keeping count of all its failings. Disappointing

DARKER, EMOTIONAL, AND CHARACTER-DRIVEN!!! Season 2 deepens the emotional weight of The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon by shifting its focus toward grief, memory, and survival, while finally bringing Carol back into the narrative in a meaningful and powerful way. Her presence instantly raises the stakes, grounding the season in long-standing emotional history and reminding us why this duo remains one of the strongest bonds in the entire franchise. This season leans heavily into sadness and loss, with several deaths that truly hurt and feel earned rather than gratuitous. The show allows moments to breathe, giving space to grief and trauma instead of rushing to the next action set piece. Carol journey is especially compelling, shaped by guilt, determination, and the quiet resilience that has defined her character over the years. The action scenes are brutal and efficient, but the heart of the season lies in its character work rather than constant spectacle.

While not as good as the first season, this season still had a lot to give. We see the past of Genet and we also get to see more nuanced emotional beats in this one.

Resulta muy interesante conocer el mundo apocalíptico desde otra parte del mundo. La duración es adecuada, los nuevos personajes funcionan bien y el apartado visual destaca. Si te gusta The Walking Dead, definitivamente es una serie que debes ver.
