Review: iZombie S02; more braindead fun!
So iZombie wrapped up its second season and all I got was the lovely Boxed set on disc!!! Slam DUNK I say, and I mean that!
A big step-up from the more “let us give this a try” feeling of Season 1, the Meat Cute massacre in the season 1 finale showed that this show can impress with some hardcore zombie action when it really sets its mind (pun intended… whenever I type brain or mind, I get this odd zombie-associations popping up) to it.
But at the end of Season 2 we get the carnage at the Max Rager party which was way more intense then I first could even fathom. We ALL were getting the feeling that season finale would be pretty intense, as we saw each episode clime towards a climax, with Liv and Drake, with Vaugh and Major, with Mr. Boss, with the Peyton-Blaine-Ravi relationship and then getting the finale with an all out Romero-vibe even.
And through it all we get plenty of characterization so we -the viewers- actually are able to care about all characters, be it the good-Drake who tries to do his best or the amnesiac Blaine or even the now-zombie-scratched Vivian, betrayed by daddy Max.
The cliffhanger sure made the show step up the ante, with a strong story focusing towards Zombie-Conspiracy even. Zombies who not only eat brains, but also USE their brains!
And might I just say that the show showing Liv’s Zombie-Snack-Time sure makes for amazing TV? The elaborate and diverse recipes and its presentations deserve surely that extra mention and kudos!
I cannot wait for the show to return and see how intelligent zombies will try to mark their territory. O, and I cannot wait what Blaine will get himself into!
