Walking Dead

I won’t go too deeply into it, but I really, really hated the last Fear the Walking Dead and latest The Walking Dead series. It’s a huge fall from grace, as these shows were, at one time, very good. So what happened?
….

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

amc.com

I’ve actually long given up on The Walking Dead television series, I know many fans have also jumped off the boat as well. While the main series came to an end with Season 11 in 2022 (11 years!), but AMC still wanted to keep the money train rolling and decided to spin off the series.

There are three main spin offs:

The pending The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live will continue the adventure of Rick Grimes and Michonne.

The Walking Dead: Dead City, which continues the story of Maggie and Negan. Despite the fact that Negan brutally murdered Maggie’s husband (and fan favorite) Glen, the showrunners thought teaming up these two will work. Just based on that premise, I didn’t bother watching the show.

Now, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, has aired. This is the story of fan favorite Daryl Dixon in France. Of all the spin off shows, I thought I would give the pilot a try.

So what do I think of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon? I think it is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

The show starts off with Daryl shipwrecked on a beach in the south of France. Of course, he kills some French soldiers, and made an enemy of this military group. Daryl is saved by some warrior nuns, and now he’s on a mission to take the nuns to a port city in the north of France.

The pilot did a good job of setting up the story, but I find myself questioning everything. Like why is everybody in the show speaks English? Why are the soldiers just going around murdering people and looting their stuff? What is their motivation? Seriously, what is up with the French warrior nuns? That mysterious woman on a boat at the end did not sell me on hanging on. She’s got to be the main villain, right? Who cares?

Personally speaking, I haven’t watched a Walking Dead show since season 6 (in 2015), so going back into this universe was hard. I’m sad to announce that the Daryl Dixon pilot did not win me back.

Maybe I will check in for the Rick Grimes show, but for now, goodbye Walking Dead.

Squid Game

If you haven’t heard, Squid Game is Netflix’s blockbuster television show. Everyone, at least over 111 million, is watching this South Korean drama/thriller. …

Zombieverse

netflix.com

I’ve also decided to give the pilot episode of Zombieverse a try. This is a South Korean horror show that Netflix picked up in 2023.

The first episode’s description reads, “In Seoul, where a zombie virus outbreak has run amok, who will outwit the undead in the face of challenging quests and come out alive?”

When I think of South Korean shows, I immediately think of the highly successful Squid Game. This was an international hit for Netflix, and I confessed, I did really enjoyed the series.

I think right off the bat, I didn’t really like this “game show” television Zombieverse at all. The show starts off with clips of what’s going to happen and then launches in a middle of a reality television show. There’s a Zombie infection that breaks out live on tv, and that’s how the show starts.

The whole show and concept were shot like it is a reality tv, and maybe it’s because I do not like reality television, that I just didn’t get or understand this show.

If you like video game, contestant shows, or reality shows, this Zombieverse show might be for you, but it is not for me. I just did not care which contestants survives this reality zombie show.

I think for now, I’ll just wait for Squid Game 2.
