This iZombie review contains spoilers.
iZombie: Season 2, Episode 1
iZombiewas one of the most fun new dramas last season.
The same is true of this second season so far.
In Grumpy Old Liv,iZombieisnt making any bold news moves.
Its a waste for a character who this show doesnt seem to know what to do with.
Last season, I was hoping Clive might turn into one of Livs confidantes.
This season, Im just hoping he gets some any character development.
Where Grumpy Old Liv really thrived was in those character-driven serialized elements I was talking about.
As a zombie, any transfusion from Liv would have turned her brother as well.
At this point, I dont understand why Liv wouldnt tell her family.
But, if thats the case,iZombiehas to sell it.
Right now, theyre not.

Meanwhile, Ravi continues to be Livs most trusted friend and advisor.
And how about the experimental zombie cure?
Thing is: Max Rager created this little zombie problem and its bad for business.
At first, Major refuses then, Vaughn threatens Liv and Major acquiesces.
This is a bold move for this show and for this character.
On first reflection, Majors decision seemed out of character.
Finally, we get to check in with Blaine, who is very bitter at his return to humanity.
One of the best parts of the episode comes in Livs conversation with Blaine.
Though they both hate it, these two are tied together in interesting ways.
Blaine needs this to happen because, as far as anyone knows, this cure to zombie-ism is temporary.
Ergo: delightfully reluctant partners.
Rating:
3 out of 5
