iZombie, Season 1 (2015)




Liv Moore is a high-flying medical resident with a practically perfect fiance. She seems to have it all ... right up until she attends the wrong party and gets turned into a zombie.

Now the only way to avoid becoming a shambling undead monster is a regular diet of human brains, so Liv ditches the doctor fast track to join the medical examiner's team, dumps the fiance (so he won't get infected) and resigns herself to a miserable and lonely existence.

But there are two things Liv hasn't taken into account: the insatiable scientific curiosity of her new boss, and the fact that eating the brains of murder victims gives her visions of their deaths (also some of their personality traits, but that is less useful for Fighting Crime).  Because yeah, the apparently 'pyschic' Ms Moore is about to find herself helping Seattle's finest solve crimes ... while all the time worrying about whether there are other zombies out there and what they might be doing (spoiler: nothing good).

iZombie is a fun and quirky police procedural with a twist.  It has a great cast who play the off-the-wall concept straight (while still recognising that it is off the wall).  Good stuff!
