iZombie: Season 1 (2015)

Based on a DC comic, iZombie is a fresh and exciting horror-comedy television series developed by Rob Thomas. In Season 1 the show follows a zombie named Olivia Moore who lives in hiding as a medical examiner, using her job as a cover to get access to brains, and helps police solve murders under the guise of being a psychic when she gets memory flashes from the brains she eats. Meanwhile, another zombie named Blaine sets up a secret network that supplies brains to other zombies living in hiding. The series' zombie mythology is quite interesting, with the infected holding back their rabidness by eating brains and temporarily gaining the personalities of the people they eat. But this does present a bit of a problem, as Olivia often comes off as schizophrenic and seems to be lacking in a personality of her own. Yet it does make for some fun comedy. Also, the casting is pretty good; particularly Rose McIver and David Anders, who deliver strong performances. Season 1 of iZombie is a promising start, but it needs a couple of tweaks to really break out.
