What Is 'Daryl Dixon' Season 3 About?
In the second season finale, Daryl and Carol refuse to fly to America on a plane because there is not enough space for all the passengers. They have a backup plan – go to the UK, hoping to persuade the locals to put them on a ship to the US.
The travelers walk to the English capital, but London is destroyed and empty. Daryl and Carol find traces of human resistance, but only corpses remain.
After encountering a pack of walkers, they take refuge in an apartment and cannot escape because a couple hundred zombies are roaming on the street. Help comes from an unexpected place. A couple of days later, a British man named Julian climbs onto the balcony.
Following a Controversial Season 2, 'Daryl Dixon's Third Chapter Gets Back on Track
Season 3 of Daryl Dixon marks a fresh start for the best spin-off of The Walking Dead, once again confirming its status.
After a controversial second season, the third chapter gets back on track – the season captivates from the very first minutes, thanks in large part to Julian, played by Stephen Merchant. The comedian masterfully brings to life a strange character who suffers from loneliness.
'Daryl Dixon' Season 3 Reminds That It Is Still a Spectacular & Violent Zombie Series
