Santa Clarita Diet

I saw this show advertised and thought it may be OK to fill a gap if there was nothing much else on to watch.

The first episode was good, so I watched the second, then the third, and couldn't stop watching it as each episode got better and better as the characters developed.

Each and every performance in this comedy is brilliant, from the most minor of supporting roles to the lead cast.

I really didn't have high expectations, but this comedy is HILARIOUS

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.

Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and Sheila Hammond (Drew Barrymore) are a suburban real estate agent couple in Santa Clarita, California with teenage daughter Abby (Liv Hewson). They are keeping up with the Joneses until Sheila turns into a zombie and starts eating the Joneses. Neighbor Eric Bemis (Skyler Gisondo) has a crush on Abby and is full of zombie knowledge. There are clams, spider-balls, and Serbians.

I really like this show and its sarcastic sense of humor. I love this family. I love the characters. Olyphant and Barrymore have an enjoyable chemistry. I like the zombie concept and its ridiculous side. It's a fun show. Netflix cancelled after three seasons. We will never know if this was popular but it is good.

For anyone who's followed the show for the past 3 seasons, I do not need to even explain why this show is way too good to be cancelled at this point. Meanwhile, other shows with not even half the talent and script continue on air. I hope this decision gets reconsidered, the show and it's cast as well as fans deserve better than this. I am thouroughly dissapointed.

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