iZombie, Season 2 (2016)



Liv Moore is still a zombie, still eating brains to maintain her human intelligence, still helping to solve crimes with the visions said brain-eating provides, and still living with the twin fears of either (a) being outed as one of the undead or (b) a Romero-esque zombie apocalypse unfolding.

So no real changes, then?  Well, not entirely.  Her former fiance and her best friend both now know that zombies are real, and that Liv is one. Neither of them seem to be coping with this very well.  Oh, and there's the question of what happened to her nemesis Blaine; and what socipathic businessman (and inadvertent cause of zombiesd) Vaughn du Clark is up to; and who the guy going around murdering zombies is; and ... well, it's safe to say that Liv has even more worry balls to juggle than she did when she first woke up with an overwhelming hunger for brains.

Season two of iZombie builds on the first in satisfying ways, introducing several fun new characters and relationship dynamics and throwing a bunch of curveballs at the cast.  It remains darkly funny and enjoyable.  I'm not 100% convinced by the direction it seems to be setting up for season 3, but the show has definitely entertained me enough so far that I will be back to check it out.
