iZombie Season 2 Finale Review: Dead Beat & Salivation Army

iZombie pulls the trigger on the beginnings of a corporate-fueled zombie apocalypse in its two-part season finale. This iZombie review contains spoilers. Dead Beat and Salivation Army. The stakes may have been frustratingly similar to That Time Liv Was in Jail i.e. When Major asks Liv he believes that he didnt kill those people? When she tells Clive the truth to get Major out of jail? When she first hugs him (rather than immediately give him the damn brain smoothie) upon his release?...

The Bridge: an unforgettable Scandinavian drama

but these are exceptions to the rule. We havent strayed very far outside Europe yet, but its a start. That shocking outcome left writer Hans Rosenfeldt with a difficult task ahead of him as he developed series three. A major setback was around the corner, however.

X-Men: the perfect way to reboot a franchise?

And how has the X-franchise managed to survive this long? We had a look at its bumpy and unconvential route to success… The first twoX-Menfilms were excellent. And this is where things started to go wrong. Tasked with directing a sequel to the immensely well-receivedX-2, Ratner inherited plot strands that Singer had left dangling.
