I just got through with Season 7 of TWD.

I need to ask everyone a serious question. Preferably people that have seen numerous upon numerous other shows;

Is Daryl Dixon the worst written character on television today?

He goes from a character who had a decent amount of dialogue to literally someone that just mumbles and grunts. I mean even his voice changed. Am I suppose to believe this is some type of character progression? It looks more like they don't know what else to do with his badassery.

I don't think it's ever been more clear than anywhere else that AMC is only keeping him around because he's their cash cow. With fans (mainly under the age of 16) threatening the showrunners they'll quit if he dies.

He seems like he has no business being in the cast other than being one of the only members still from Season 1. All the recycled storylines they give him feel hamfisted and unnecessary.

If you literally had to create all these characters from scratch the easiest person to write would be Daryl Dixon. - A redneck with Batman powers - That's it. There's nothing deep about him. His plot died along with Merle and his character has shown no growth.

If I wanted to add more I'd say Norman Reedus may be a nice person but he's a terrible actor. I'm very sure most of us know this.

I understand this show isn't for the brightest of people but that's why I'm asking if he's literally the worst written character today.

I have a lot more to say but I honestly didn't want to make it long. But the character of Daryl Dixon is clearly just taking up space for the sake of keeping some kids happy.
