Laurent is also one of the most annoying characters in Walking Dead history, no exaggeration. I suppose the idea was that if Daryl doesn’t talk much, this kid would talk all the time. But they make him some sort of prodigy, who talks like he’s a middle-aged college professor, who speaks a bunch of language and is always spouting off facts about history and sociology. He’s exceptionally annoying, and if he’s supposed to be the future leader of humanity, I think we’re doomed.
Daryl Dixon tries to implement this weird, religious aspect into the whole thing, pushing the bounds of whether The Walking Dead is actually going to tread into the truly supernatural, other than the physics of zombies themselves. But outside of this, I could not believe just how much the central storyline ends up ripping off HBO’s The Last of Us. Like my jawwhen I understood what was happening.
The coolest bit of the show focuses on experimentation with “super zombies,” which we got hints about at the end of The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and continues the show trying to do new thing with zombies, like how at the end of the main show, they started doing things like climbing, opening doors and wielding knives. Here, they are not “smart” zombies, but they are strong, and a bigger threat than we’ve seen. We needed more strong zombies here and less Laurent.
I will say the show ends on a good note, a tease for the already-greenlit second season that I now have hope should be better than the first. But man, what a deeply odd season 1 this was, and I’m not sure I can recommended it to anyone but Walking Dead superfans who are going to watch all these spin-offs anyway.
