The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon's spinoff explores a storyline that was never properly told in the main show. Daryl's tragic past and his struggle to let people into his life are finally explored. As a parental figure to Laurent, who has an absent father, Daryl overcomes his own past and becomes a strong role model. Despite being involved in the lives of other children, Daryl has never been a true father figure. His growing bond with Laurent may cause Daryl to choose to stay in France instead of returning to America.
