The new cast members and fresh story are just what was needed, and the deeper exploration of characters we’ve been following for years is very satisfying.

The third season of Daryl Dixon is a fun reset that takes Daryl and Carol into an interesting new setting with more wrongs that need righting. Daryl’s reluctant hero schtick is getting a bit thin these days, sure, but Reedus plays it so damn well it doesn’t matter.

There's one particular character with some annoying traits, and the actual ending might elicit some groans, but overall it's a strong, action-packed season of dystopian crucibles that will have you clamoring for Daryl to burn the establishment to the ground.

Ultimately, Daryl Dixon Season 3 runs in place until a laugh-out-loud twist reveals how the series will keep the best friends from getting home anytime soon.
