[@S_Scaling]

Yeah it is a Belle boyfriend and a trailer

[@nikhilsuvarna6821]

It’s not a mace it’s a flail

[@alexisogun]

Hi Think Story, can you please analyze Ingamy pleeeeeease thank you!!!!!!!

[@justaphase]

This show is taking on a life of its own and with just being two episodes in. I absolutely love it. I've missed Daryl more than I even realized. He does not disappoint.

[@johndigital9213]

Flashback scene at the nightclub when the door opened...sounded like zombies took over the club after. Anybody else noticed that?

[@julieschultz6363]

I don't know about anybody else, but so far I'm enjoying this show a whole lot better than Maggie & Negan's.

[@SlugMoisture]

Overall but negan had the really good moments like gutting the guy Infront of the people

[@VAVORiAL]

It's mid vs. pretty bad, so DD wins. But we'll see.

[@seriousblu44]

Me too. I lost interest w/the Maggie and Negan story

[@Asiatic637]

Somehow I see Negan and Maggie finding their way to Daryl’s show. Cause that show sucks. To many rewashed storylines of their past life. Completely boring. And Hershel is a 🍆

[@jonfreeman9682]

Maggie and Negan is also good. This show is a rip-off off HBO last of us. Not original at all.

[@islandgyal3730]

I hope the same writers are utilized for Dead City 2.. This is the best spinoff yet!💕

[@eaqua56]

Agreed

[@shawndear8941]

I came here to see who else thought the same lol

[@larsvegas1505]

wait there is even more spinoffs.. yikes.

[@starshipgaming8912]

Dead city was ok tbh, the story didn’t hook me, however, it was nice to see the characters return

[@J3llyf12hy]

Yess I also hope we get to see New York monuments zombiefied like they seem to be doing in this show’s teaser promos

[@phatkiddre]

Darryl was the one who took the shot because Lou couldn't do it... Just like he had to take the shot for Dale

[@SwagRiderPlays]

This needs to be higher up

[@ChristopherFreeman0032]

true, I had to rewind it.

[@SteveYttv]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Which is probably why he offered to ‘deal with’ Madame Dubois. (for Lou)

[@pinefilms3141]

it's not just that Lou couldn't do it....she was obviously very capable....Daryl did it to SPARE Lou from doing it, and taking on that guilt when she already felt guilty for that guy's death (i don't remember his name but he was the walker in the moat)

[@justaphase]

That's what I thought.

[@Pink_Andromeda]

I would love if isabelle was a scientist and worked somehow or knew about the virus and this is why she quit and went insane on drugs and bad decisions. It will be a great plot twist (ish). Bc her reaciton was weird, she kinda knew what was happening, but not believing

[@victoriacim7661]

And when she told other nun, that when they will come North, they will all reveal their true purpose, I think it means she knows something about virus or finding the cure

[@ryno1509]

She looked like she was a pick pocket she stole lots of men’s watches and money

[@jannneumann5766]

She's basically a higher class Cardi B. Driver was probably with her gang.

[@scottking869]

No she didnt. Her whole reaction was she didnt know what was going on.

[@humanrich]

Laurent is definitely carrying something. I feel like they’re making his skin even paler than it actually is. I wouldn’t be surprised if the priests demise is tied to him somehow. Like he bit the priest and caused him to turn.

[@scottking869]

Thats just fantasy 😂

[@Joshua083]

Laurent being the cure is a good theory especially being if Paris is ground zero and his mother was bitten by the first zombie’s having the virus before it mutates threw the years could be a huge factor in that theory. Definitely loving this show more than I thought can’t wait for the next episode and seeing how this season with progress.

[@scottking869]

This aint happening. Hes only special cause he survived hes mums death during labour

[@StudioPashnada]

I immediately thought of Ellie in The Last of Us when I saw Laurent was born to an infected woman. Do they think he's the savior like they thought she was? The biggest difference is that everyone has the virus in TWD universe so how is he any different than otger kids born in the last 13 years? Another difference is that we don't know if Laurent is immune like we do with Ellie.

[@jonfreeman9682]

Rip-off comes to mind. HBO last of us had pregnant mom bitten by zombie but baby survives and have immunity to virus. So Joel must escort Ellie to develop vaccine to save humanity. Here same story Laurent may or may not have immunity but is the saviour of humanity so Daryl must escort him to the habitat. Same story.

[@prizethought]

Yeah this show is doing the Last of Us storyline even better than TLUS live action for me tbh

[@julianmartinez9199]

I kinda hope laurent isnt the cure but just immune. In the comics, the viruse is never cured and yea the spinoffs are doing their own thing but the idea that there will never be a cure is more interesting to me than there being one. Tho also, if laurent can pass down his immunity through generation, that could be a cool idea.

[@jonfreeman9682]

No there will never be a cure. AMC is milking zombies to keep fans. Without zombies subscribers will flee.

[@Amir_H7]

what are they supposed to cure lol? decaying and decomposing corpses don't have any blood flow to let the cure do it's thing so it would only be effective right after getting bit.

[@Teleios116]

We are so far from the comics. The comic book story became irrelevant after season 2 of the original show.

[@purplebanana6420]

Just immunity doesn't mean alive he's still got every chance to be killed be anything else I hope he's just a miracle baby and not special

[@TheTaylorj1984]

I cant believe how fresh this feels . I gave up on twd after they killed Carl . So far so good !

[@lastrrr4134]

- Yes, Quinn will return. He operates the underground nightclub that we see in the promos. He also, apparently, is involved in the black market. I think before the apocalypse, he worked with Isabelle - she pickpocketed items and he sold off the watches & credit cards. - in this episode it was mentioned that Isabelle & Lily's parents had died. So it's likely they suddenly went from travelling the world with their parents (who worked with Doctors without Borders) to orphans & Isabelle had trouble coping with that change - In Madam Dubois' room was a package of Metformin, which is a medication used to treat diabetes. - My guess has been that Mont St Michel will be the final destination for Laurent. They haven't given any hints whether he would be trying to get to Le Havre this season

[@cornjobb]

if AMC could somehow make a show that just continually shows the start of the end of the world from various people's pov, that would be my perfect zombie-related show. as soon as that bit ended on "fear the walking dead" i completely lost interest

[@khelsei]

watch black summer!

[@HUeducator2011]

Yessss this was peak cinema! The beginning of the the apocalypse was so well done. We want more of it! It would be great if AMC showed each character dealing with the beginning. Like 1 full episode per character. Like how did Dale deal with the beginning, Merle, Andrea, the prisoners from season 3, shoot even the Governor! I’d like to see how Lori and Shane dealt with it at first as well.

[@cornjobb]

that was so much better than the syfy show it was supposed to be related to. except they fucking KILLED lance! the best character!@@khelsei

[@helenbirdart]

Tales of the Walking Dead covers the onset from different people including an episode with Alpha & Lydia. It's well worth watching

[@JohnSmith-tt3go]

OP, the idea of the show would be simple to do. Just have a reporter/journalist doing what the main character of World War Z was doing, interviewing survivors on their points of view of the outbreak to give better clarity to the overall picture. Agreed on losing interest in FtWD, it promised to show me what happened at the start of the outbreak on the west coast. Instead I got a 3 week time skip and a bunch of people murdering dozens of soldiers + hundreds of civilians via walkers to rescue a drug addict. Never watched another second of it.

[@sexxylion18]

ngl the daryl dixon show is really great and a massive step up from dead city hopefully the show stays good

[@jasonrene]

I love the flashbacks. As far as I'm concerned, every episode should follow the Lost style flashback storytelling for each character where it goes back to the zombie outbreak to let you know who these people are in the current story. Fear The Walking Dead, as a series, should have been nothing but an anthology of the outbreak across numerous characters' backstories.

[@watrpologuy4549]

Yup. Best part of season 1 was the outbreak. I feel like they wanted to get away from that to fast

[@CacD47]

The first two episodes has more heart and entertainment value than all of seasons 11and 12 walking dead. I'm excited for the rest of the season.

[@Myaccount923]

I thought the same thing. They could’ve just made the last few seasons this good…smh

[@J3llyf12hy]

Didn’t expect to see Robin Williams in this but such a welcome surprise, RIP.

[@jpw1163]

You should rewatch the episode, It was Daryl that fired the arrow that killed the zombie brother in the moat. You can see she still had the arrow and Daryl hands a crossbow back to someone and nods to her.

[@condeez1052]

It was not Daryl it was her lol

[@StudioPashnada]

Agreed

[@ORVONTON64]

Are you serious?!? if he hasn't perfected "family" and "teamwork" by now… the fool ain't gonna…

[@kevindrake4529]

Thank you for doing these recaps.

[@justicebanks]

This is the best spin off so far imo 👍🏿

[@justjames1349]

Lou didn't shoot the brother darrell did. To keep her from having to

[@jinx724]

This is such an epic side note but i was so hurt when they left that little girl. I could have never left her. Idk if it was just me but i took it as BOTH her parents were gone. Like a Clementine situation where both parents were out and the mom was on the phone crying. If the mom was there i dont think she would let her daughter go outside and play on the scooter while she cried over Paris falling.

[@Arturas-]

Her mother was still alive, the girl said that she's crying on the phone rn

[@sylvisterling8782]

The man IS Quinn.. Same hair color and if you look at the jawline in the second frame, it is the same shape and color as Quinn's beard in the first image.

[@victoriacim7661]

Yes, I think so too, very similar jaw and beard

[@Myaccount923]

Who?

[@warrenreid6109]

Another great episode. This is a smash hit with me.

[@rouenrobinson]

I think that is Quinn because there is no way the type of guy who would tell a person to ditch their pregnant sibling would not be ruthless enough to seek revenge in a zombie apocalypse. I liked seeing Teddy from Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny actor Ethann Isidore as one of the scavenger school kids in this episode. BTW I liked the donkey joke, but Asterix was a mule product of a horse and a donkey... so you were half right ( the reason it stuck out to me is because mules can't have children and during the slave times doctors told slave owners that mixed race children were sterile too.) What would be interesting is what if Laurent ends up being like a daywalker and after he is bitten he a zombie with the milky white eyes but retains his faculties.

[@ianthapoppy]

Good point.

[@Myaccount923]

I thought the same! We’ll see lol

[@laurakagan834]

Thank you for a Great review. I enjoyed the second episode as well as the first one. The flashbacks demonstrated some of Isabelle’s life prior to the apocalypse. Hopefully, we will find out more about her. This show is very promising.

[@lucretiamaggio6154]

Your videos are awesome. Thank you.

[@flyingnun6318]

Thanks for the updates I was waiting for you upload a video thanks for the updates tho

[@virusj216]

8:54 Daryl kills the brother actually. Also Quinn is stated on Variety's coverage of the show(spoilers warning) to be a “displaced Brit who has become powerful in post-apocalyptic Paris as a black marketeer and the owner of the Demimonde, a sexy underground nightclub.” sooo.. ya

[@elainaann7721]

Great video. I thought it was good! Loving the scenery.

[@JB-pr6yl]

just found you, love how you break down everything thanks

[@anthonylesley982]

So Isabella use to be a party pick pocket till the end came also so did her and Quinn know each other before the end there last scene in the flashback seemed to imply that! Also I know it’s the start but did Quinn literally punch that walker in the face! Also Isabella being Laurent’s aunt is nice and it’s not just some random kid she’s attached to! I can also see why Laurent is special in the eyes of the nuns he’s a two month premie baby and survived his mother being turned

[@shawndear8941]

Already liking Daryl more than Dead City

[@scarletbegonias9884]

In the trailers last week after the first episode, there was a brief clip of a guy saying I haven't seen you in so long, or something like that I'm paraphrasing, and I paused it at the time to see if it was somebody from the original walking Dead series, but now I'm thinking maybe it's Quinn and he's talking to Isabelle and they run into each other in Paris. Great review as always and I can't wait for the next

[@oliiverbetts]

I can’t believe the walkers would kill that one guy. He told them he’s an American and they didn’t listen. Maybe he didn’t realize they only spoke French..

[@LocalSRT]

if there’s any last of us fans here, they’ll notice the kid was born just like Ellie, which is “the cure” excited to this unfold.

[@shahrulmasud6021]

Loving this show so far

[@jonathanreyes4191]

Slower than I would have liked but the opening scene of the breakout was so bad ass. I wish it would have just stood there. So far I am a huge fan of the show. Can’t wait for more

[@jonfreeman9682]

Serious bad assery but would like to see more mayhem with explosions and zombie hordes more like the style of world war Z. You know what's funny is when you see Daryl in the moat trying to climb out the zombie is like 3 feet away from him and taking his sweet time shuffling to reach Daryl. Can these zombies move any slower.

[@juanitagarcia958]

What if Quinn was the pimp and the gig was for Isabelle to hustle men out of cards and whatever else she could get and this is why Quinn was able to get there so quickly after it all went down? We will have to see. I'm not a big fan of the messiah angle at all but like you said, if he's immune then that might be more interesting.

[@deeobrien5417]

This was a great episode but also they go clémence poésy!! What an absolute win. I watched Essex serpent last year and despite it being a Claire Danes Tom hiddleston vehicle the two major standouts were clémence and fear the walking dead’s brilliant Frank dillane, both of whom were in the Harry Potter francisé too ❤

[@davies7283]

Thanks for the review. One little information u missed. It was daryl who shot an arrow to kill moof's zombie brother off since Lou was grieving.

[@keenah1111]

quite honestly at this point all i want to know is how does daryl keep up his stylish hair cut so neatly without fail 🧐? was he a hairdresser before the z apocalypse? 🤔

[@jonfreeman9682]

Somehow in middle of apocalypse he manages to maintain a nice healthy sheen in the midst of combat and limited food.

[@Absbabs88]

His hair is exactly the same length for years, never growing an inch. 🤣

[@Amir_H7]

​​@@Absbabs88so is mine lol, it won't grow longer than to my shoulders even if i don't cut it for years.

[@n47eem]

This 2nd ep riped my heart out because they have childerns, I'm crying thinking how all those kids keep themself alive since preschool. I cant imagine what the kids gone thru all the years.

[@paft]

Seriously? That was probably the worst part. Corny and unconvincing.

[@n47eem]

@@paft do you have childern of your own?

[@paft]

@@n47eem No. But I didn't have a pregnant sister that was infected either and that worked more for me. That's great that it touched you. I have a lot of issues with the show. I think most that are watching this are blinded by fandom and the higher production quality. There's a hell of a lot of silly moments, hell, the whole premise is pretty silly so far. Dixon that's supposed to be a lone survivor has made how many mistakes so far? And nearly died two or more times in just 2 eps. That bit on the drawbridge and the fall was ridiculous.

[@n47eem]

@@paft Do I need to be having the same issue with you so you can stop being a douche to people who dont feel same thing like you?

Man this show is freaking good

[@joshuaworlu4190]

I'm really enjoying the show😊

[@johnveloso4485]

Have you ever noticed the Car that they used in Episode 1 it seems like it has some Modified tank in it just like the Croatian did in Dead City.

[@TomekChojnacki404]

I like how you show Obelix when talking about Asterix, just another LIE 😂

[@oliiverbetts]

Now that I think about it Quinn didn’t seem puzzled or even that scared of the outbreak. There’s definitely something deeper going on here with him..

[@Maaechi]

this show feels like a breathe of fresh air for the twd universe.

[@Gugraak-kgr1]

I love this series

[@Graves-81_69]

I really hate to call it right now but that kid is going to be immune. Whether he is or isn’t, I’m here for it

[@bigdabz7105]

Enjoying Daryl Dixon I wouldn’t say more then dead city but I love TWD content and glad I found someone breaking down the episodes

[@firstname__lastname]

I think Quinn is the irish voice on the tape recorder Darly found in the first episode.

[@richardk.]

One inaccuracy I found is that the 50€ bills she has/ money in general is the EUROPA series which was first introduced in 2017, so it’s technically impossible for her to have them.

[@JohnDoe-cd6ro]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Daryl saying he's been to Texas? Could he have come across the Fear crew? Food for thought.

[@godhoward3144]

U missed the part where she excused herself off the elevator after hearing screams immediately taking meds of some kind after hearing screams from the party alluding she has some kind of condition that she may struggle with hallucinations and took her way longer to realize an actual emergency was happening. It's also an unfortunate observation i've come to, seeing how desperate the show writers potentially are to make this a good show they need to steal ideas from a more successful recent series "the last of us" took as an approach for what could end this apocalypse, from what i just saw, where the boy most likely will be the cure since his conception was in the time window of his mothers death to a bite so if they do go that route, thats lame as fuck tbh cause they want to ride those coat tails.

[@victoriacim7661]

Condition that struggle with hallucinations - she was under influence of drugs at that moment. I am wondering why she didn’t have any withdrawal symptoms next day, when they were escaping Paris

[@victoriacim7661]

Last of us and this show filmed at the same timeframe, that’s why they didn’t steal the idea

[@Myaccount923]

Someone pointed out that could’ve been the zombie attack starting in the club

[@Rubberbandman0529]

only seen 2 episodes so far, but it's pretty good. I think being set outside America loses some interest, but Daryl being there and flashbacks of when it started really help. I'll continue to watch. Not as good as Dead City, but still real good

[@bud-da-cherry-picker]

Laurant is Blade. Bet money he’s immune.

[@lucies6718]

Oops! The original comic's Astérix (short, blonde and super speedy fast from the village wizard's magic potion) is not the same character as the one you showed us - that was Obélix (tall, round, eats everything in sight, redhead and fell into the wizard's cooking pot as a baby = no more soup for you!), lol!

[@HUeducator2011]

This is a great odyssey, wonderful story telling. I’m just hoping that unlike TWD, they know when to stop.

[@yolouolo3815]

It was mr Dixon that put out moof´s brother the girl could not do it

[@genevievebe303]

Astérix is the small one, not the big one (you shown Obelix)

[@peterballa9696]

You don't have to get bit to turn, you just have to die 😂

[@nolove-qb3fu]

I believe the boy is special because he may be immune

[@wasylowskir]

I wondered if Izzy and the other nun were involved. Izzy calls her my sweet and talks of the two of them being a family with Laurant.

[@Rubberbandman0529]

8:53 actually Daryl shot the boy before Lou could. And since you mentioned it at 12:07, I think that is Quinn

[@jonahroberts9924]

Hope there a flash back about the ship.

[@Negan_smith605]

I have question evrey Sunday episode?

[@nikolassuprun7400]

The 2nd episode reminded me a lot of Clementine final part there are also kids from boarding school,ship like Lily's 😐

[@davidwindell]

Lou doesn’t put the brother out of his misery. She can’t do it, so Daryl comes behind her with a crossbow and does it. That’s why, when she puts her teacher out, it’s more meaningful

[@adrian-qr6zk]

...and the nightclub the episode started out with was called "Bonnie"

[@Absbabs88]

The impression I got of Quinn (I didn't even catch his name on the show) was some type of handler/crime partner/pimp.

[@rebel6183]

didn't Daryl kill the brother?

[@IW3527]

Nope the woman from the first two people Daryl ran into in France who killed Codrons brother she just lied and told him it was Daryl

Although last of us had a similar rendition of the “second coming” birth, how the mother was bitten. I feel like it’s sort of universal in a sense that it can’t really be copied since it’s not that outlandish of an idea. Idk, what does everybody else think?
