I loved Daryl - I do, but I've tried to watch this show twice and just been genuinely too bored to stay engaged with the show both times and I'm the type of person who enjoys watching extended editions for things and binge-watching things. The only draw of it - is Daryl, and he's not enough to carry an extremely boring group of characters that give him nothing to really play off of or worth with.
The fact its the same premise as The Last of Us (im aware the walking dead came up with the concept first) but Ellie is a more likeable character than Laurent does it no favours either. It's very much "I've seen this - very recently and it was done better."
