Entertainment Fuse writes, "Daryl has slowly developed into one of the best characters on the show. He serves as an integral part of the group, not just as muscle when walkers attack, but as a pseudo big brother to Carl, as someone who is dependable and caring, as evidenced by his growing bond with Carol, and as a good balance to Rick. Basically, he’s everything Shane, as the second-in-command, never was." (The Walking Dead, TV) 9.3/10
