And there it is, we’ve come to the end of another season of the Daryl show, now with more Carol. I think we’d all agree it was a mixed bag, but I hope you guys found it as worthwhile as Lucy and I did, and as usual we’re thrilled with all the engagement and feedback (a lot, as you can see by the ep...

C’es tout for season 2 of the Daryl show. It had its ups and downs, didn’t it? Even so, it was a fun watch and we had a great time covering it. PS: Was “The Book of Carol” a good subtitle? What do you think season 3 will be called?  PPS Two more days. Got your voting plan? vote.org   Next up: Liste...

Veronica joins us this week to go over this episode (and talk about her recent real-life adventures at Mont St. Michel). Think we felt as critical about this one as we have the last couple?

The great thing about a dip in quality is we get to commiserate and complain together! :) We’re feeling at least somewhat optimistic things will improve over the next couple episodes. Fingers crossed… There are less than two weeks to vote. If you need any info about how, you can find it at: vote.or...

Dina and I were somewhat divided on this episode… and so were you! I’m glad I didn’t talk everyone out of liking it or something.

Ooh, kinda the first Daryl episode I (Jason) didn’t really dig that much.

Lovely to read all your messages this week, as usual, and we especially appreciate you expressing support for our occasional tangents :) Merci. Also, I thought the reaction to Daryl and Isabelle’s kiss would be more divided. I mean it was divided, but not as much as I thought.  Less than a month to...

An episode of betrayals on all fronts, and one that opened up some interesting lines of thought for both of us about doubt, faith, and choice.  Article in The Guardian about Lennie James’ new BBC show: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/oct/04/lennie-james-interview-mr-loverman   Time is ...

Bonjour tout le monde, so good to be back in the world of Daryl Dixon, this time avec plus de Carol. It’s kind of a tradition that we don’t always agree with Carol’s methods (you could ask Karen and David about that, you know, if they were alive) but we always love watching her.  For our 600th episo...
