The fifth spinoff of The Walking Dead chronicles Daryl's adventures in France while bringing Carol back into the storyline in the series second season.

Daryl Dixon is improving, so that’s something. Season 2 is still wildly imperfect, but I didn’t spend Episode 2, “Moulin Rouge”, getting aggravated about basic logical leaps, which I’ll take as a positive.

When last we saw Daryl and his road companions Isabelle (Clémence Poésy) and a boy named Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi), they’d reached safety in Normandy, where a multi-faith community vowed to protect Laurent, who they believe is a messiah. It was an apt and sunny resolution to that part of the story, although Daryl still needed to get home.
