SERIES PREMIERE: It seems weird to say this, without any irony, but Santa Clarita Diet, which is unveiled today with its entire 10-episode first season available on Netflix, establishes itself instantly as one of the three best zombie shows on television right now. Or, to be even more specific, one of the two best zombie comedies. The zombie drama that’s part of the big three best undead series, is, of course, The Walking Dead. The other entertaining show, a zombie comedy-drama, is CW’s iZombie, which returns with new episodes next month. This new entry in TV’s zombie jamboree, Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet, stars Drew Barrymore as a woman who slowly realizes she’s become a zombie, with an appetite for human flesh and an increasingly unchecked id – and libido. Timothy Olyphant plays her husband, who tries to adjust to his wife’s new reality. The 10 episodes of Diet play to this new reality with a roller-coaster ride of visual and verbal surprises, from almost laughably gross moments (as when Barrymore’s character loses her lunch, or an eyeball) to cleverly twisted plot twists. Santa Clarita Diet is like Tales from the Crypt as a miniseries – and that’s meant as a compliment. Oh and both of the leads are very, dryly funny.
