sjdavis-12063 I found the first few seasons entertaining. The "hook" of having our titular star (actress Rose McIver playing Olivia "Liv" Moore - Ha! Liv(e) Moore, funny zombie pun intended!) being a zombie medical examiner eating brains to solve crimes was catchy, but became repetitive. Not in the sense that each brain eaten provides a different characteristic and allowed a lot of range, but in the sense that every crime is solved. Something random happens that just magically triggers the appropriate zombie-brain vision. And then every suspect just freely confesses their crime. No one ever avails themselves to the justice system by claiming they didn't do it. Are zombie brain visions even admissible in court? I know that is a little too deep for a zombie comedy, but a little variety would be nice. Maybe actual detective work and not a vision solves a crime. That would make Detective Babineaux more of a strong character. Or rather than each episode being a one-off, how about a story arc "big bad" that isn't neatly wrapped up in a bow by episode end? Quick change of subject, the entries from commercial breaks, more clever puns. Two thumbs up for those!Then in a later season we hit a major speed bump in our star becoming a human smuggler called 'Renegade'. Not the most original name, but, eh, no biggie. This is where I have a real problem with the direction the show takes. Zombies are starving. Not enough brains to go around, so what is one to do? Smuggle in more humans and make them zombies! There is so much wrong (of course, just my opinion) with this entire premise. Oh, but the humans are those who are ill and would die without being made into zombie. Where is your heart? you ask. Why, it is somewhere above my (empty) stomach. It's called survival kids. Starving zombies become "Romero's" (clever homage to the original Night of the Living Dead type zombies), just rabid eating machines. And, rabid eating machines who break out of New Seattle to find brain food become dead rabid eating machines since zombies are rather WAY outnumbered and quite under geared compared to the human military. The selfish actions of Renegade and the other human smugglers threaten the entire zombie population. And now, in the season 4 finale, they restate the "mission": to show that zombies and humans can live together. Please explain to me how turning terminally ill humans into zombies accomplishes that mission? And too many times I asked myself, "why are they doing that? Doing this LOGICAL thing instead would solve the problem." But, a TV show has gotta show I guess. Even with those complaints, I still liked the show overall. Plus, it doesn't hurt that characters Liv, Peyton, and Dale are babes. And male characters Ravi, Clive, and Major provide female eye-candy. And they are pretty interesting characters in their own right to boot, so bonus! Is it good? Yes. Is it great? I think it really could have been, but it kind of went off the rails some.
tigrexthrasher I think this might be the worst TV show of all time. If not than its certainly a contender. It is bland and completely empty. As in nothing happens its just blank. I think most people myself included would be better of watching a white wall. It will definitly be funner than this rubbish. 1/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
invisibleunicornninja Seasons 1 & 2 were pretty good. After that is just got really dumb.
knkurtz This show has a unique spin to the zombie storyline. When a zombie eats brains, they get visions from the brain they ate. The show is witty and very funny, with puns galore. I recommend you give it a whirl! It's not some deep, psychological zombie show where he thought of human survival reigns, but you'll enjoy it regardless.
