Ever since she became a zombie, forced to eat human brains to stay sapient, Liv Moore has done her best to keep the secret not just of her own nature, but indeed the very existence of the undead. So far, she seems to have managed it. But as a functional cure continues to elude her and her friends, and the numbers of zombies in the world continue to inch upward, it becomes ever harder to keep a lid on the truth.
Forestalling the inevitable public exposure of zombies, and preparing for the day when those efforts fail, is a major theme of season three of iZombie. I rather like how this whole effort plays out, personally. The players aren't always who they claim to be, of course, but they also aren't necessarily who you might expect them to be, given typical story beats. It can be hard to pull off subversions of common plot beats - those beats are common for a reason - but I feel like the show does a good job of it here.
Overall, if you have enjoyed seasons one and two of iZombie, I don't see any reason not to continue to follow the adventures of Liv & Co. The cast remains engaging and likeable, the plot takes some unexpected but not illogical turns, and there's plenty of nerdy humour for those of us in the geekosphere. This latter element can occasionally be somewhat problematic in that it sometimes drifts into punching down, but on the whole it is entertaining stuff.
