iZombie

The first 3 1/2 seasons were fabulous. Great premise and stories, and very creative. The last season and a half, were not nearly as good, once they walled of Seatle. I like the comedy in this series a lot. Sometimes it was in your face, sometimes subtle. For instance, the main characters name Olivia Moore, or as what she goes by Liv Moore! Or the evil corporation, Fillmore Graves! LOL.

I had no expectations for iZombie, but I've already watched the pilot three times. The story was good, the cast was great, and Rose McIver was stellar! My wife likened her to Buffy. I replied that she was kind of a zombie version of The Listener (another great show, btw), and a funny one at that! Malcolm Goodwin and Rahul Kohli were also instantly likable. Their characters each held up his end extremely well against the riveting presence of McIver/Moore And what a great idea to have Liv gain her insights by eating the brains of the deceased - her instant command of Romanian was hilarious. I look forward to seeing what other quirks the writers come up with for her.

This show apparently played to a decent sized audience, but it deserves so much more, and perhaps the reviews here will lead people to check this one out. I think when they do, they'll be hooked.

I have to confess I came to this show expecting camp Zombie chick, adolescent angst drama.

Well, I was mostly wrong. Certainly I do believe this series may have more appeal to women than men but only by a small margin. Its certainly got some chick flick elements, issues with the boyfriend and mum, but beyond that its got a whole lot more to offer too.

The extras, if you can call them that include top notch writing. The characterizations in iZombie are, in particular highly polished. The main characters are genuinely witty and engaging, in a very understated, down to earth way.

This is topped off with reasonable storytelling and acting from the lead and supporting cast.

All in all a very likable series I plan to keep on watching. A well earned seven out of ten from me.

IZombe is so much better than it has any business being. I never watched it when it was in the air because I always thought it was a show aimed at tweens but after hearing and reading enough good things about it I thought I'd finally give it a chance. I'm glad I did because I had a lot of fun watching this series. It's such an original show that combines the zombie genre with the crime genre and succeeds in doing so. It has a much lighter tone than other zombie shows like The Walking Dead so if you're explaining show like that then you'll be disappointed. This show will make you laugh more than scare you. It knows what kind of show it is and has no problem making fun of itself.

The show is always fun but it has its ups and downs. Sometimes it's a 7 and sometimes a 10 but always fun. The lead actress in particular is always amazing. Her comedic and acting talent make the show work. She basically plays a different character every single episode. Her talents might be wasted in anything else.
