iZombie

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.

You may think "another zombie show, how boring!". There are way too many zombie shows out there nowadays. Thats true. But you might give that one a try. It doesn't try to be "special" by giving the zombie a different name like "walkers" or something. That would suggest that people didn't know what a zombie is but i digress... usually the zombies are just the enemies but this time the zombie is actually the hero which solves crimes! But of course not all zombies are friendly! In short a cop/crime show with zombies.

Most characters are very likeable and well cast. And the bad guys are really great too! Especially David Anders. He is always a great bad guy. The whole cast work great together. Nothing to complain.

The story arc is mostly good. Some Elements change over time and most characters also go through some changes. This way they avoid repeating themselfs too often.

Best would be to just watch the first two episodes. After that you will know if you like it or not.

My true rating would be something like a 7.8 maybe so i'm giving it an 8.

I really liked this first episode and the way they put it all together the why and the how she ends up working with the police and how she deals with being a zombie was done nicely. It has a kinda "6 feet under kinda feel but a little more light hearted. Also the situation is not gonna be real life so sometimes the situation is a little unbelievable, like cops aren't always gonna act the way real cops would exactly and people aren't gonna always freak at the concept of someone being a zombie etc. The humor was good too, actually caught myself in an unexpected chuckle. You know the kind that takes like a half second to hit you. very good almost gave it 9 stars but I like to save 9 and 10 for stuff I;m totally thrilled with. Acting was good the characters are likable. This could be one that moves up to the 9 or 10 start level after a few episodes

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.
