Do you mean TWD dead city and Darryl Dixon? I watched the first season of each and never went back. 

Yep. Totally fair of you! I just finished s2 of each. I had largely forgotten a lot of what went on in the French one, I really don't like that show. Weird religious drama, mad scientist, class war, European history repeating itself kinda theme. The whole "Messiah" child just annoys me, but

Spoiler

My hope is the payoff will be one day he eventually gets bitten and it turns out he actually IS immune like the religious freaks think. They go to London for s3 which I'm not looking forward to, those new eps are still premiering. Might watch in a year or something 

 

The NYC one is better but it also centers around kid characters who I don't like and most of the people in the various factions are NPCs. I also found it much more predictable than the French one. The Croat becomes a pretty adorable character though, rooting for him. 

Feels like they're trying to build up these kids to maybe make careers for themselves out of being in spinoffs for the next however many decades.

AMC+ does free trials thru YouTube, prime, etc and they stack so you can get multiple free trials thru multiple avenues if you ever feel like marathoning these. 

Spoiler

But ultimately nothing really happens of consequence in either show, none of TWD characters die. In the French one the villain lady is killed, so her Nazi coded second in command replaces her & is set on being more evil than her predecessor. In NYC they're doing a "colonizing" theme with whatever the "normal govt" society is absorbing other groups & making them conform. The only character I like is the young historian scribe guy who you can just tell is going to become a horrible villain someday. 

I give both a 5/10, watchable but embarrassing to talk about.

I will probably give them another chance. Didn’t the Darryl one do a season called “the book of Carol”? She was one of my favorite characters in TWD

I think I got burnt out on TWD and TWDU between FTWD(which ended), Rick and Michonne, NYC and DD I just couldn’t anymore it was starting to break my brain 😆

Yep! That's the s2 I just watched. She's tracking down Daryl trying to link up with him. She was always my favorite too, she's such a nut but it's great. They definitely needed her to get me interested in even watching anymore of that French nunnery drama.

I didn't see much of FTWD & probably missed some other stuff cause I saw a variety of spinoff-y looking things on AMC+ that I'll probably never watch. I'm shocked any of this still ongoing tbh even tho they've always tried to set it up as a forever show. Can't believe it's been 15 yrs since TWD first started
