Santa Clarita Diet

My first thought when watching this show was that it was a combination of DEXTER, THE WALKING DEAD, and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. The first episodes were good, but I couldn't really imagine how it would sustain. Then the plot twists came, and it just got better and better.

Some of the bit are so gross they are hilarious. I'm laughing even though I can barely look. But it's comedy we need these days.

Great cast for a funny show that doesn't take itself too seriously, but simply provides clever get-away-from-it-all content.

I really hope the show continues. Great job.

I read the crap one star review and felt compelled to write my own simply because it could not be more wrong.

Note to reviewers: actually watch the whole show. Clearly that reviewer watched one or two episodes although I suspect even less than that.

Comparatively the first few episodes are not as good as those that follow but I think that is because they are really setting up the story and establishing the characters.

There are so many funny moments which mostly arise from situations going from bad to worse. I found the show quite compelling and very entertaining. YMMV.

No way is this show one star. No way.

For anyone who's followed the show for the past 3 seasons, I do not need to even explain why this show is way too good to be cancelled at this point. Meanwhile, other shows with not even half the talent and script continue on air. I hope this decision gets reconsidered, the show and it's cast as well as fans deserve better than this. I am thouroughly dissapointed.

I just watched Santa Clarita Diet with my brother and it had us both laughing out loud. It was freaking hilarious. It stars Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore as Joel and Shiela, married realtors who live in Santa Clarita raising their teenage daughter. Shiela wakes up one dead feeling strange and throws up. She also has no heartbeat. She's a zombie. Not like the ones you usually see in movies or shows, she looks and feels as good as she ever has. The problem is that she has to eat people to survive though. So they try to find the worst kind of people to kill for Shiela to eat. What follows is a lot of funny and sometimes dark moments.

I've been wanting to watch Santa Clarita Diet since season one first came out in 2017 but kept putting it off because there was always something else I wanted to watch more. Well, I finally got around to watching it and it was great. I'm actually mad at myself for putting it off until now. I had no idea it was going to be so funny. Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore are both terrific in this. Especially Olyphant. Justified is one of my all time favorite tv shows so I'm a big fan of his but I had no idea he could be as funny as he was in this. I knew he could be funny but not like this. The teenage neighbor, Eric (Skyler Gisondo), is also hilarious in this. Every character on this show is so well written. It took a few episodes before it finally found itself but once it did it was great. At only 30min episodes it's an easy binge. This is just a flat out fun show.
