iZombie

The series rips off Pushing Daisies with slight modifications, but the quality is of a good standard. I started watching it to have fun and not to ponder deep existential questions. Surprisingly, it worked. I got a well-made show that made me laugh, so I'm almost completely satisfied. When I compare my expectations with what I got, I should give it five stars, but I'm taking one down for the unoriginal premise and for the character of Major Lilywhite, who gave me a slight nervous tic. The character I liked, on the other hand, was definitely Mr. Boss, he was perfect. (28/07/2016)

I was slightly disappointed with Season 3. The humor seemed substantially reduced, it was too much about heartbreaking memories of past relationships and the whole thing felt somewhat tiresome. Whenever the creators tried to make an action drama out of the show, I was getting bored. Then again, the last two episodes were actually a success in this regard. It's a shame that it didn’t happen sooner, the rating could have been better. (30/09/2017)

At first, I was looking forward to the change in storytelling style, hoping that the series would receive a new impetus. However, after the first third of the episode, I started to feel that the creators might not be up to such a challenge. The plot with Vivian and her undead town was definitely a positive aspect, but I see a negative in the execution of this idea, which didn't quite work for me. It seems that the original model, composed of separate episodes connected by a common story, felt more digestible to me. (27/09/2017)

The creators returned to the original formula with the second episode and I immediately enjoyed it more. This storytelling style suits them much better, and for the first time, Major amused me, whom I otherwise don't care for at all, but as a fifteen-year-old skater, he was excellent. (27/09/2017)

From the episodes I have seen so far, this one was clearly the weakest. It didn't interest me practically at all, and at times I was extremely bored. I consider the series to be absolute relaxation, where I occasionally laugh, but this time there was nothing to laugh about, and it was such a relaxing experience that I almost fell asleep. (27/09/2017)

There has been some improvement compared to the previous episode, but a new problem has emerged. I have hated Major Lilywhite since the moment he appeared in the series, but now I'm starting to be bothered by Ravi as well, who until recently was the most entertaining character for me. So if it continues like this, my rating will be very modest. (27/09/2017)

Well, hallelujah, the creators remembered after a while that the series used to be entertaining and finally they managed to resurrect some of that humor. I could even give this episode five stars, but they shouldn't cling so desperately to the topic of dominos. There could have been much more to gain from it. Nevertheless, the best moments were definitely brought by the lawyer's interrogation, he left quite a mark on my funny bone. (28/09/2017)

The seventh episode didn't please me too much, I perceive it as an average piece, and if I saw one more sock puppet, I would immediately deduct a star. Actually, the only moment that truly caught my attention was the shot of the murdered teacher, which reminded me of Pinhead, my favorite character from Hellraiser. (28/09/2017)

The tenth episode was quite good, if it weren't for two factors that really bothered me. The first was the return of Drake, even if only in the form of a hallucination, but it really bothered me that he appeared in the series again just to play with the emotions of desperate romantics, I couldn't find any other reason. The second misfortune is the long-term soundtrack, but the cover of "Zombie" by The Cranberries in this episode was a bit too much for me. (29/09/2017)

The eleventh episode dragged on for me, it was used as a snack for three. The paranoid debates were perfect and considering the development of the plot, I am very curious about how the creators want to handle the series in the future; considering the level of various revelations, I would expect significant changes.

The final episode of the third season continues what started working in the previous episode. It was only there that I started enjoying the plotline that deals with the zombie community situation in Seattle. Until then, I was not particularly interested in this topic and focused more on frivolous humor. I had a feeling that the creators were not handling dramatic moments very well, which changed only at the end of the third season. (30/09/2017)

Season 4 made a better impression on me than the previous one. The main storyline seemed much better written, the individual episodes were funnier, and Ravi managed to make me laugh again, unlike in the previous season. What really annoyed me was that the creators couldn’t avoid the occasional play on emotions. But that’s just me, I just don’t fit CW’s target audience. (14/10/2018)

I was pleasantly surprised. It was light-hearted and funny, perfect for some mindless entertainment. Ravi bounced back from last season's slump and was as entertaining as ever. His serum testing scenes were hilarious, though I'm not sure I'd ever try anything scented like lilac with a melon flavor – that combo is just too weird. (10/10/2018)

The overly emotional ending and yet another breakup between Liv and Major did dampen my enthusiasm a bit, but I decided to overlook it. Liv consumed a hilariously entertaining brain, and Angus’s (un)holy crusade against impending starvation kept things interesting. Overall, it worked well as light entertainment for a relaxing afternoon. (10/10/2018)

This time, I had to lower my rating a bit. The plotline about human smuggling and disappearances was intriguing, but the brain of an incurable romantic and Ravi's fashion show didn't quite hit the mark for me. The police sketch artist saved the day, but I still missed some extra laughs. (10/10/2018)

I had more fun than last time, so I bumped up my rating by a star. Ravi as bait in Operation "Pickles" was a delight, Major under the influence of a wrestler was surprisingly funny, and Blaine on the "honest" brain was absolutely hilarious. (13/10/2018)

Aside from the overly sentimental ending, this was a solid episode. The Canadian hockey player brain was a brilliant choice, and I enjoyed the subplot about the discrimination against a zombie driver. The kidnapping of Sloan Mills added a humorous touch as well. The drawn-out, heart-wrenching finale almost made me drop a star, but then I remembered Liv's hilarious hockey performance and had to give it that fourth star. (13/10/2018)

I had a blast right from the sexual harassment seminar. Ravi on the junkie brain was hilarious, and the action at the docks was well-executed, including the script and casting. (13/10/2018)

In the third season, the overarching storyline didn’t really grab me, but this time it’s working. When the creators give Liv an interesting brain to munch on (like in this episode), the humor kicks in, and I’m thoroughly entertained. (13/10/2018)

A delightful episode. Stacey Boss is back! Even if it’s just for a short while, I’m grateful to see one of my favorite characters again. The teamwork between Blaine and Angus was entertaining, and even though the outcome of the money stash raid was predictable, I still had a good time. (13/10/2018)
