Santa Clarita Diet
Lately, I have felt that I have watched almost every “major” netflix shows and I thought I would switch up my usual types of shows and try to watch the Santa Clarita Diet. This show is a Netflix Original series which stars Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant. These two play a married couple (Sheila and Joel) and a realtor team and live in cookie cutter house with their daughter abby. They live a normal life, they have a supporting career and deal with the rebellious teenager. One night, things take a turn for the worst and Sheila turns into a Zombie. In order to survive and stay the way she is, she must eat other humans. This series shows how her and her family go through the task of killing and covering up their tracks. With nosey neighbors and police involved, this family has a lot to overcome.
When I began watching it I thought it was an OK, simple watch but over the two (short) seasons, it became super cheesy and predictable. The parts where it's supposed to be funny and add a level of comic relief where not funny at all in my opinion. Timothy Olyphant who plays Joel is a weird, nervous character that I thought can be much better portrayed. Also, the scenes when she's eating something are really fake and just weird. Yes, it’s weird eating someone but I think her attitude about everything is really strange. In general, I think all the characters in the show, zombie or not are all real strange. The interactions with the neighbors is super cheesy and so is the interactions with the hated, mean boss. Overall, I would give this series a rating of BAD GOOD. Some scenes were better than others but i do not think it was bad enough for a bad bad. If you are into zombie-comedy-romance shows, this is definitely right for you.
