Norman Reedus literally carries this show on his back in what should be a farce. The problem with The Walking Dead universe is they would like you to believe things like women and children would be able to survive without grown men. In a comic book sure, in real life not a chance but Daryl makes it entertaining.
The setting is France and thankfully 12 years after an apocalypse they still have someone mowing the grass and people are dressing up like Katniss from the Hunger Games. Crossbows superseded regular bows for a reason, they did not require the same physical strength and training regular bows do so in a real life scenario without access to firearms that is what people would be using.
At least they are using firearms in this, even if they are older. In real life without access to modern machinery and once supplies of ammunition ran out, black powder weapons would be used. Bows were made obsolete for a reason. It was actually nice to see the nuns get blown away as they idiotically tried to wield medieval weaponry against firearms. The scene however was still BS as no woman is going to physically overpower a man.
TWD's nonsensical tropes are all here; women successfully engaging in hand to hand combat with men, all survivor groups are fully diverse with women or minority leaders and of course plenty of new characters to check all required boxes.
You have survivor groups choosing dumb locations to setup camp and all the "bad" guys choose things like castles. One group in Paris was living off scaffolding in a city with literally thousands of usable buildings around them. The show tries so hard to force jimmy rigged nonsense instead of logically thought out things.
So much of the show was written by a teenager, you get killer nuns, a moat of zombies but the Star Wars rip-off "Cantina" in Paris made me cringe. The best parts are when a character goes off to "find someone else" as if they just have to search 2 square blocks in a city and not hundreds of square miles of terrain in a country the size of Texas.
At 3 episodes in I am still trudging along just to see what Daryl does next.
