We may finally get to see what a cult show looks like without a "tragically canceled" qualifier tacked in front. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 03/31/2017
Hewson is the breakout star of the show, giving a poignant performance in a well-written role that emphasises the eternal impatience and vulnerability of adolescence. Go to Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman 02/16/2017
It sounds perky, but the reality is amazingly gormless. The comedy is non-existent, and the cast spend their time gurning madly in order to cover for it. Go to Full Review Karen Rought Hypable 02/28/2019
This show isn't going to be for everyone, but if you're looking for something along the lines of iZombie or Warm Bodies, but a little more realistic, it could be your new favorite show. Go to Full Review Naila Scargill Exquisite Terror 02/28/2019
Drew Barrymore shines in a stylised affair that revels in a refreshing juxtaposition of viscera with middle-class suburbia. Go to Full Review Amanda Greever The Daily Times (Tennessee) 01/31/2019
The show takes time to find its footing, but once it does, it's pretty funny and entertaining. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

L. F @RT68678650 Feb 24 I absolutely love this show! In many ways, it was a bit before its time... I think there's actually much more of an appetite (pun intended) for this gory-crime-comedy-caper genre now. It doesn't take itself too seriously, yet keeps your attention with its constant shift in tone from silly, to tense, to funny, to violent, to absurd, to dark, to heartfelt. It's an easy comfort watch you won't want to end. See more Ken D @mynameisken Nov 28 As some other reviewers mentioned, yes, Drew Barrymore was not a good choice for the role but honestly the entire ensemble was miscast. Every single person in this show is wrong for their role. The casting director, I’m afraid, is really bad at their job. See more Embrya A @RT96929493 12/03/2024 This show is absolutely wildly funny! 🤣 See more Roba E @Robalsham 11/08/2024 I love it. I started watching it late 2024 and thank God for that because I would have died out of sadness it got cancelled. Shame. What a lovely, enjoyable and smart series. Perfect smooth acting and wicked humor. I am obsessed by it. WOW See more Wolfgang G @RT51462348 09/08/2023 Santa Clarita Diet ist eine Horror-Comedy-Fernsehserie, die von Victor Fresco konzipiert wurde… Eine schnelle und manchmal übertriebene schwarzhumorige Comedy- Serie… mit einer guten schauspielerischen Leistung… Kurz gesagt, sehr süß und blutig mit Gefahr zum Leerlauf… See more Joo V @RT17481189 08/07/2023 Fun, exciting, and strangely addictive. With talented and charismatic actors and a funny and engaging script. See more Read all reviews
