From the guy who gave us Veronica Mars (Rob Thomas) along
with Diane Ruggiero-Wright, comes this other television show about a petite
blonde girl who solves crimes while dealing with love and friendship. Except this time she’s not a high school
student and the genre-bending isn’t film noir it’s zombie horror comedy. The result is just as fantastic as it
sounds. Olivia was bitten by a zombie
while attending a boat party. Now in
order to prevent becoming a full blown mindless zombie she must eat brains. With this new food source she also finds
herself with the memories (and personality traits) of the person’s brain she
consumed and with that now a way to assist police detective Clive solve
crimes. Add zombie drug dealer named
David as her main adversary and you have a really entertaining television show
that is reminiscent of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars. The only gripe I have is the
way the writers create “drama and tension” but having characters keep
information to themselves when in reality if they just spoke up there would be
no drama. It’s an obvious and annoying
tactic, typically of this kind of show.
