Santa Clarita Diet

I've been wanting to watch Santa Clarita Diet since season one first came out in 2017 but kept putting it off because there was always something else I wanted to watch more. Well, I finally got around to watching it and it was great. I'm actually mad at myself for putting it off until now. I had no idea it was going to be so funny. Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore are both terrific in this. Especially Olyphant. Justified is one of my all time favorite tv shows so I'm a big fan of his but I had no idea he could be as funny as he was in this. I knew he could be funny but not like this. The teenage neighbor, Eric (Skyler Gisondo), is also hilarious in this. Every character on this show is so well written. It took a few episodes before it finally found itself but once it did it was great. At only 30min episodes it's an easy binge. This is just a flat out fun show.

I read the crap one star review and felt compelled to write my own simply because it could not be more wrong.

Note to reviewers: actually watch the whole show. Clearly that reviewer watched one or two episodes although I suspect even less than that.

Comparatively the first few episodes are not as good as those that follow but I think that is because they are really setting up the story and establishing the characters.

There are so many funny moments which mostly arise from situations going from bad to worse. I found the show quite compelling and very entertaining. YMMV.

No way is this show one star. No way.

This is an amazingly hilarious show!! Very upset it's being cancelled. Makes me want to cancel Netflix subscription

It's been a while since I really enjoyed a comedy/horror series, a genre that works well if done right. Santa Clara Diet is that kind of show, easy-to-watch, funny and refreshing, and we a decent amount of gore. Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant had a good chemistry between them, they looked like a lovely and amorous couple, with their issues obviously, in this case Drew Barrymore's hunger for fresh human meat. It's the kind of series you just binge watch, it took me only a week to watch all episodes. Good storytelling, interesting plots and characters, it had it all. The gore was well made which was also a bonus. Totally deserves its high ratings.

Another quality show cancelled by short sighted executives, such a shame
