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'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.

I saw this show advertised and thought it may be OK to fill a gap if there was nothing much else on to watch.

The first episode was good, so I watched the second, then the third, and couldn't stop watching it as each episode got better and better as the characters developed.

Each and every performance in this comedy is brilliant, from the most minor of supporting roles to the lead cast.

I really didn't have high expectations, but this comedy is HILARIOUS

Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and Sheila Hammond (Drew Barrymore) are a suburban real estate agent couple in Santa Clarita, California with teenage daughter Abby (Liv Hewson). They are keeping up with the Joneses until Sheila turns into a zombie and starts eating the Joneses. Neighbor Eric Bemis (Skyler Gisondo) has a crush on Abby and is full of zombie knowledge. There are clams, spider-balls, and Serbians.

I really like this show and its sarcastic sense of humor. I love this family. I love the characters. Olyphant and Barrymore have an enjoyable chemistry. I like the zombie concept and its ridiculous side. It's a fun show. Netflix cancelled after three seasons. We will never know if this was popular but it is good.

Another quality show cancelled by short sighted executives, such a shame
