Last year’s trilogy of spin-offs saved the “Walking Dead” franchise as it was dangerously close to becoming as decrepit as its titular zombies. Now we’ve got our first sophomore outing, as another familiar face returns. Here's how to watch "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN.
“Daryl Dixon” was the middle of three spin-offs last year that focused on fan favourite characters in new settings. The reduced episode count (each ran for six instalments) and focus on character rather than large scale action breathed new life into “The Walking Dead”, particularly the Daryl (Norman Reedus) centric series, which shifted the action to France, giving us a whole new perspective on the zombie apocalypse.
Subtitled “The Book of Carol”, there’s no prizes for guessing that season 2 has reintroduced Melissa McBride’s fan favourite character. The opener saw her flying to France in an effort to rescue Daryl. However, with Daryl still firmly at war with the Pouvoir, it’s unlikely her mission will go smoothly. But, much like The Ones Who Live before it, IGN calls this latest series a "potent, poignant reunion between two Walking Dead favorites."
