The first reviews for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 are here, and it looks like we can expect a promising return to form from the post-apocalyptic spin-off.

The new season sees the show swap its French setting for Spain (via a quick detour in England) as Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) attempt to make it back home to the US. Season 3 takes inspiration from its new locale to channel old school Spaghetti Westerns, and there's even a new romantic subplot featuring some new characters.

According to Winter is Coming, "it is the work of McBride and Reedus that stand out in this third season, and their shared scenes—particularly when Carol and Daryl are allowed to actually talk to each other—give the show an energy it seems to lack when the pair spend too long apart."
